Once Canada starts trolling you, you know everybody is laughing behind their hands at you. 🤭

Y'all need to recognize when 🇨🇦 Canada trolls you:

PM Carney: Donald, you're a transformative president.

Americans online: He's kissing Trump's ass!

Canadians: Do you need a dictionary?

Perhaps it's macabre, but we could start a pool!
Who wants to lay odds on:
-Trump leaves office peacefully in 2029
-Trump dies in office
-due to ill health
-due to assassination
-Trump tries to stay in office beyond 2029
-after declaring martial law
-after declaring himself King
😏

Thank you! He's orange (not quite as much as the president) and though he bathes in public, has a much better sense of decorum.
Here he is in his "Trump pose":

If I said, "My cat would be a better president," would you let me in?

By the time they even allocate funding Trump will be out of office.

I have taken
the freedom of speech
that was in
the Constitution

and which
you were probably
using
for peaceful protest

Forgive me
the courts said they were
so agitating
and so irritating

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

You know what really threatens national unity? Not recognizing Human Rights in your HOME.

Five premiers urge Carney to withdraw court submission on notwithstanding clause

Five premiers say Ottawa’s recent call for limits on the notwithstanding clause amounts to a “complete disavowal” of the bargain that spawned the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

I hope people who can afford to spend thousands on a Ross painting want to spend even more to keep PBS alive.

I think it's just a thought exercise. It's a popular pastime of a healthy, well-educated, analytical, imaginative population. 🇨🇦 (All qualities that aid in the invention of more war crimes!!)

Love this. Posted it myself awhile back. A sort of slap in the face to America, but since it's based on their record of military "success" they should own it.

They won't, though. They'll cling to the false doctrine of American Exceptionalism (yet still pretend to be Canadian outside America 🤔).

While I doubt a Canadian resistance to annexation would destroy the United States (but if it did 😁), I don't see how America can occupy Canada successfully, or even destroy us. Canada is vast, and anything done to us would affect the US.

I can see the US taking the Northwest Passage by force, tho.

🤣🤣🤣 It was when they were banned in the NHL that we got really disappointed.
