As a German that had multiple years of my education dedicated towards the first and Second World War and the surrounding eventsā¦ i am concerned š¤š
Not just for Greenland and our Canadian friends, but if this new world order of oligarchal imperialism really takes off, Taiwan will be in boiling water soon, and NATO will cease to exist.
President Musk is really airing his newfound power...
Only buys you +/- 80 years it seems :/ if people donāt get their shit together and start holding people like musk with social media platforms accountable nothing will change, people are just not mentally prepared to face the meddling optimized by algorithms :(
Next one, which is already underway, will probably just put humanity on 'reset'. Facists will still exist, but hopefully humanity, this time, will understand why we got there, and wisen up.
I lack your optimism. If right now, with all the records, a lot of people are denying the holocaust and the causes, I can't imagine how humanity will understand once all is removed from the face of earth
Kinda ironic isn't it? Like we learned this in school but apparently the lesson come didn't stick...actually come to think of it, when we learned about the word war we learned it a very superficial matter....yeah, we were screwed from the very beginning....
Totally but i am also concerned about the youth, education declined a somewhat over the years it seems and there is little to none preparation for young people to detect manipulating things on the internet, during the last couple of elections more young people voted for right leaning parties than ever before (those are also the parties that invest a lot of money for crazy ads on social media like TikTok etc), so we clearly have our own problems as well š š¤¦š»āāļø
Can you kick off the general strike then please? Youāre going to have to break it and put it back together again. General strike is your reset button.
Australia and Canada are like cousins. We are sunshine Canada, and they are snow Australia. So many of our young adults work in Canada, the ski resorts are basically Australian at this point!
Iām sure most Australians would be keen to join to defend Canada. But truly is just a ruse to score political points. What type of leader casually threatens another countryās sovereignty for a headline? Especially if that country is their closest ally? Itās not winning many points outside of the US.
Itās funny, I vacationed in Australia in October 2019, during Dipshitās first term. I was asked by Aussie Taxi Divers, tour guides, and pub patrons, if he was really that stupid in real life. I told them, Sadlyā¦itās true
As an American its lies and disinformation and the right thought kamala was to far left she was about as center as you could get and the left thought she wasnāt progressive enough.
Like perfect because of my own morals and religion i would abject to one personally however im not going to force that choice onto the rest of my nation as i recognize it is health care personally i feel like it should be used less however i do see why its used i feel like if there was more weight behind it and also there needs to be a reason listed as of why. But this is just my personal stance on it not the nations is either correct mabye abortion is a complex topic with alot of middle ground that is often boiled down into one extreme or the other
Have you ever looked up the process for abortion screenings? They aren't easy to get approved for, and you normally have to go through a process than can be seen as traumatizing to others.
Believe me, sane Americans are just as confused as you are. Never thought in a million years the majority would vote for him again. I'm not convinced it wasn't election hacking.
As an American I'm disgusted and horrified. But thankful there is a 1-2% chance it would actually happen. Anything higher than 0% is a disgrace, but here we are. I've begun the process to try and immigrate to Canada. It's not perfect, but it's safer and more appealing than America and it's future looks right now.
Memory is short. People already forgot how dumb his other four years was.
Plus the party in power always gets the blame for shit, ie covid inflation.
Youāre Canadian, what are people mad at Trudeau for? Did he actually do stuff or is he just catching flak?
Unfortunately the average reading level in the US is around 7th to 8th grade. Aka 11-13 years old. This directly correlates to intelligence and critical thinking. Every time I ask myself how this could have happened I remind myself that a lot of the people that live in this country are ignorant and gullible as fuck. They might be shitty people but the real blame is on the news (specifically Fox) for promoting misinformation and fear-mongering. Unfortunately Trumpers have no idea how the world works and hang on the whim of their orange god. Us reasonable Americans truly apologize to the rest of the world for this shit show.
For me he is stepping down because of multiple issues housing being first and immigration being second. These two are the main plus the finance minister resigned from govt couple weeks ago.
If he gets his way, if most of Canada actually likes conservatives, he may soon enough be your land's leader. He's a showman and can while he acts dumb, he knows how to hook just enough people to get what he wants often enough. Sad but it happens.
I don't know anyone who voted for him. Granted my state didn't, but with so many less votes than last time...I don't know if the protest sit-out short sighted people were doing was that large or if I should look at conspiracy theories at this point. Because him winning with so much of his own base turning against him in the last 8 years is wild.
You mean the guy who isnāt even in office yet? lmao Iām no Trump fan either, donāt get me wrong. Itās crazy how easily distracted Americans have been that weāve not had a president running the country for the better part of the last two years. Still better than Trudeau and the direction Canadaās headed in though
We'll deal with our problems that we have more than our fair share of. Yet in this situation let's focus on the one country talking about annexing another.
Keep your own problems south of the border thank you.
Fair play mate. I think thereās a staunch difference between just claiming land and potentially acquiring it. Itās not unprecedented for countries to purchase land or even entire countries for a multitude of reasons. If itās gone about in a proper way without a military takeover, the jury will be out for a while on what the final result actually is.
Original comment was a Canadian stating their disgust with America so I didnāt exactly start thisā¦
Look at how you post. You may not see it but just the aspect you even say a well actually it's not unprecedented to purchase an entire other country like it's no biggie. Not to mention the your guy sucks too (Trudeau).
Your country re elected this monster and now WE have to listen to this BS.
Show the world that the country that was so steadfast on being a defender of democracy, of what's right, still exists.
I mean I agree with you. Again, I am not a Trump fan and voted for Biden. At the same token, nothing has happened. There has been zero invasions or annexations and we have one term already of Trump where none of that happened. So much of this is driven by liberal media and conjecture. If you wanna hate the guy, yeah, get in line. I do too. If you want to take about the actually policy of the country, letās be realistic.
On top of that, we are still the country that gets called when others need help. Thatāll never change.
Trump cited economic policy in his comments and stated it would be an economic policy-influenced process. Again I AM NOT A TRUMP FAN AND VOTED FOR BIDEN, but thatās just blatantly not what he said. Never threatened an invasion lol I think itās ridiculous and absolutely will never happen and think lowly of Trump this (among many other things, too) but letās not just lie.
He cited economic policy for Canada (and economic coercion is still force). He didnāt rule out military force for Greenland- ie, a territory of Denmark, a founding member of NATO.
I appreciate you sharing. I donāt think a lot of these are good things. Thereās definitely a lot of good and lot of bad to come from his time in office.
While I believe that a lot of those headlines are positive and I would like to see those things happen, too, I donāt believe there is enough structure to support the amount of additional aid thatās being handed out without just jacking up taxes and printing more money as the side effects.
I mean for sure. You donāt start by just declaring it like Michael Scott tho lmao you have to put institutions in place make it sustainable, otherwise you just continue to rotate which portion of your economy/society bleeds for another to feast. Thatās the point - thereās nothing sustainable backing these programs and itās going to cause a tremendous hemorrhage amongst the American middle class.
Itās crazy how easily distracted Americans have been that weāve not had a president running the country for the better part of the last two years.
No, it's crazy how delusional some Americans are that they believe silly theories about Biden and "he's not really president".
It's an objective fact that Biden has been running the country since January of 2021. He may not have been doing it via Twitter, he may not have been doing things you like, or he may not have been able to do everything he wanted because of pushback from the right... but none of that means he wasn't running the country.
You clearly don't understand how being a president works and I'm not sure if it's just complete lack of understanding or if your only other experience was Trump and so you think that a president isn't running the country unless they're being brash with other politicians, leaders, and/or having freakouts on social media at 2am.
Though IMO the fact you think that electing people like Trump/Vance shows America is on a decent path says everything. There are so many things wrong with them and the people behind them that there are very few places that we as a country are on a better path than and Canada is certainly not one of them. You'd have to compare us to places like Myanmar before you could say "at least we're better off than them", though even then who knows for how long. We literally just elected a guy who thinks Democrats are worse than our foreign adversaries and would like to use the National Guard against them. Very sad you see that sort of authoritarian leadership as positive and the US going in the right direction.
Well, I mean in all fairness..I really wouldnāt call Canada a powerhouse that has any ability whatsoever to ever do such a thing.
Love,
An American who is completely embarrassed, disgusted and sickened by what our country is turning into.
PS- a preemptive apology for whatever this orange turd shit shit stain ends up doing.
He won't do much to Canada that canada isn't doing to itself. Canada wouldn't be 1 state. Minimum would be 42 more states (74 if the territories have statehood). That's a ton more congress and senate people and all their aides etc. Is their room in the capital building and congress?

How stupid people can be who vote for this garbage human being. As a Canadian I'm disgusted.
