Nature, politics, old barns, wooden fences, cooking, books, writing, photography.
I've lived under martial law. Tanks, troops in the streets, helicopters. Suspended Bill of Rights, arrests without charges or warrants. No right to see a lawyer.

People held incommunicado. That was Canada, October, 1970 during terrorism. War Measures Act. The U.S. version will be much worse.

Trump is often nattering on about how Canada is going to become your 51st state. So is the White House Press Secretary.

Canadians are boycotting American goods and many are cancelling trips to the USA.

You just can't show up in Canada and expect admittance. It depends on whether one is accepted.
February 26, 2025 at 6:46 AM
Trump will have to annihilate 40 million Canadians. We won't surrender Canada to the orange malevolence.
The second largest country in the world will be difficult to hold onto. Especially fun when it's - 30. Plus guerilla warfare.
February 26, 2025 at 6:37 AM
He's constantly threatens to annex Canada. It's no joke. We aren't laughing.
The White House Press Secretary talked about annexing Canada recently. If it were just once it could be a joke but it's not done to allies.

Canadian kids ask their parents when is the USA invading & bombing? 'Hilarious.'
February 26, 2025 at 6:25 AM
Many Canadians regard the Trump 'administration' as a hostile foreign power, drooling constantly about annexing Canada. Trump talks about it constantly and Canadians are watching.

If invasion happens, we will make Vietnam look like a picnic. Canadians are ruthless in warfare. We defend 🇨🇦 Canada.
February 26, 2025 at 6:18 AM
Not a distraction. If someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Today, Trump doubled down on annexation. Recently, the White House Press Secretary droned on about Canada becoming the 51st state.

We feel like Ukraine before Putin invaded. The USA as a hostile foreign power licking its chops.
February 26, 2025 at 6:03 AM
Friends? That is increasing becoming so very past tense, when a once reliable ally actually threatens my country's very existence.

I regard the government of the USA as a hostile foreign power. Meanwhile, Canadians are increasingly boycotting American goods and travel.
February 26, 2025 at 5:34 AM
Oh, golly gee. The President of the United States tells Canadians that he will wage economic war on Canada (basically his attempt to crash our economy) in his bid to forcibly annex my country.

Canadians will never crawl before the orange despot. He will likely invade if we don't comply.
February 26, 2025 at 5:31 AM
Sure, annexation & the destruction of Canada is sooo funny, nothing to worry about here, except for the president of the USA waging economic war against Canada to annex us.
It would be an act of war and I'm supposed to lighten up? I will remember that should l have to engage in guerilla warfare.
February 26, 2025 at 4:24 AM
He would not really give statehood, more like a territory with no voting rights. Trump always lies
February 26, 2025 at 4:19 AM
Threats to annex Canada, ending our existence as an independent country is just a 'diversion.' Canadian children ask their parents if American troops will bomb our cities.

No doubt the Ukrainians felt that the Russian threat of annexation was a mere 'distraction' before Putin invaded Ukraine.
February 26, 2025 at 4:18 AM
No thanks, Canada has its own problems without importing yours.
There are only 40 million Canadians, so we don't want to be outnumbered in our own country.
February 26, 2025 at 4:08 AM
He's replacing military personnel, even on the Joint Chief of Staffs with flunkies. And the Pentagon.

Puts a totally dysfunctional and unqualified Secretary of Defence/Defense. What could go wrong?

Hopefully most members of the military uphold their oath to the constitution re Insurrection Act.
February 26, 2025 at 4:05 AM
To Canadians the constant threat of annexation isn't a distraction. A threat to the survival of Canada. He's dead serious about annexation. It's nefarious.

It may seem like a distraction to Americans, but he talks about the 'artificial border' like Putin referred to Ukraine before the invasion.
February 26, 2025 at 3:59 AM
Perfect!
February 26, 2025 at 3:52 AM
No, because Canadians would go to war rather than surrender to annexation.
February 26, 2025 at 3:46 AM
He constantly talks about annexing Canada. He's the American president, threatening Canada with economic war.
It may be a distraction for Americans, but he's threatening our existence as a nation. Says the border is artificial. We aren't viable as as nation. That's what Putin said about Ukraine.
February 26, 2025 at 3:45 AM
He's serious and purely transactional. He wants to be 🤴 king for life, shred American democracy, deconstruct the administrative state to do it.

Destroying western alliances so that the USA, Russia and China can each have spheres of control. He's like a mob boss plotting with other mob bosses.
February 26, 2025 at 3:38 AM
Believe me, we are. Boycotting travel to the USA, not buying American products. He keeps talking annexation continually, we feel threatened. He says he'll use economic means to crush our economy but we won't crawl.

He will likely find some 'national security' excuse to invade and 🇨🇦 will fight back.
February 26, 2025 at 3:33 AM
Many of my rural friends are strongly against annexation. Even conservatives.
February 26, 2025 at 3:29 AM
Mainly older Canadians. We just want to be respected as an independent country, not a chunk of real estate to be acquired.

Some Americans think that everyone dreams of being American, but most Canadians would go to war rather than be annexed. Trump keeps bringing up annexation, a direct threat.
February 26, 2025 at 3:27 AM
He wants to destroy NATO, the Western alliance, extort Ukraine for its essential minerals, divvy up the world between the USA, Russia & China.

For Canada, he's a direct threat to our national survival. Annex Canada. Not a distraction, it's against our survival. A direct threat. He's our Putin.
February 26, 2025 at 3:22 AM
Thanks for that. Yes, but Trump is constantly threatening to annex Canada. The President of United States. A supposed ally.

Kids are asking parents if American troops are going to invade.

Democrats are against this, yet often talk about Canada increasing blue votes. Canada 🇨🇦 isn't negotiable.
February 26, 2025 at 3:16 AM
Canadians vote federally ...generally to the left. Once in awhile right, but liberal federal governments are the norm.

Presidential elections are federal, not state, so voting would be to the left for Presidential elections.
All moot,because most Canadians are strongly against joining the USA.
February 26, 2025 at 3:05 AM
More Canadians generally vote left in federal elections, provincial govrnments can often be conservative. Canada is far more liberal than the USA.

Canadians will never surrender our nation to the USA and allow the death of our country. We will go to war to defend Canada 🇨🇦 if necessary. Not USA.
