    Canadians hatred of Trump is burning hot right now. We vividly remember all of the threats Trump made of invading Canada.

    and here PP is celebrating Trump invading another country. This man couldn’t be more tone-deaf if he tried.

      The contrast of Trump saying he wants to annex us repeatedly, will get Greenland, and that America wants Venezuela’s oil, then fucking taking over their government “indefinitely” and stating the US will now own and sell their oil is fucking terrifying.

      This needs to be the moment our government looks over and starts taking this seriously. And not “we’ll start building an in 10 years” kinda seriously, taking action today.

        We need to remember the lessons we learned in WWII building the 4th largest air force, and 3rd largest navy in the world. 765 thousand troops for a nation of only 11.8 million.

        We have 40 million ish people now, 12 old frigates, 3 dog eared subs, and 79 fighter jets half of which aren’t operational. We have so much work to do, we are kind of fucked if we don’t turn this shit around fast.

          I don’t think we need to go for top quality right now either.

          Just start fucking welding together ships and drones. We have machine jobs and an auto industry that’s doing. We don’t need fully tooled, we have machine solos who can start building small scale fast.

          Everything Ukraine has done to become a leader in drone production we could do, and frankly I think drones and nukes would be our best quick investments.

          Advanced radar woods be good too, like we’re buying from Australia.

          Deleting windows from all government systems needs to be done, and removing azure from all workflows for as Canadian clouds like OVH (I know they’re French).

          Cloud is basically fungible these days if you can stand up hardware, which I know exists in this country.

          But really, you don’t build advanced if you can’t build simple, and that’s the muscle we need to flex.

          The cons won’t allow that kind of expense though, as all funding needs to go to American oil barons so they can create and own corporations that get 98%+ of Alberta oil proceeds. That’s their play, and spending on Canadians isn’t really helping their goals.

      Finally, he has an excuse to say it.

      I’m guessing it’s still a misstep when it comes to winning an election in the future; the story isn’t over yet.

      To be fair, a Trump regime change is his best chance at actually ever becoming PM.

      Many of his loyal base would welcome an American invasion at this point.

    This guy has no fucking clue

    This is going to fucking wreck Canada’s oil economy, and his buddies are going to be shitting their pants right now because Trump is saying the US is going to just sell Venezuela’s oil to everyone.

    Fuck you Pollievre, you fucking moron.

    I wonder if he even considered a more carefully worded message that didn’t condone open violations of international law. Surely there was a way to say this that was less ball-suckingly sycophantic and maybe even, god forbid, a little bit respectful of the people in Canada who are able to see the danger that Trump poses.

    Jesus fucking christ. If you ever need evidence to explain why Poilievre lost the election to one of the weakest Liberal runs Canada has seen in modern history, here it is. Tone deaf isn’t enough to describe it. Clueless feels too weak. He’s completely disassociated from the Canadian perspective.

    As an extension of the GOP, the CPC generally mirrors GOP propaganda in most things.

    It’s not a coincidence, PP isn’t just acting like Trump, he answers to him.

      Conservatives are afraid of socialism because they lack critical thinking skills and believe it when people say the nazis were genuine socialists. Socialism = nazis for many conservatives. Racism, genocide, and state sanctioned violence is not nazi like behavior in the eyes of many conservatives.

      He knows his brain dead audience though. They hate socialism, communism, liberals, and it doesn’t matter that they don’t know what any of those words mean.

        No, I’m confident in saying that Pierre doesn’t either. The people who write his tweets and speeches might, but Pierre is a fucking idiot.
