Is the US going to Annex Canada? by force? or just destroy the Canadian Econ for fun

Way back in 1972 after the election where Nixon swept every state but Mass. we went skiing in Quebec. Canadian Border guy goes to my Dad, "So you're from Massachusetts?" My Dad says yes. Border guard says, "Good job in the last election, eh. Have a good trip.", and sent us on our way.

Basically, Trump just backed down in exchange for Mexico's promise to send fewer troops than they were willing to send in the past. Yeah, throwing a huge tantrum and then settling for 50% less is how MAGA wins. Fucking retards.

Atree and Dan. Seriously and no sarc. You might get some meth head breaking into your car for some stuff to kite. I'd be really surprised if it was political but of course could be wrong.

I mean, even MAGA hats and Confed hats type don't get hassled

I'm sure that note would've been devastating if it weren't written in hieroglyphics.

Also, it is Nelson.

^ Seriously, hard to believe a doctor would have that much vitriol!

Who knows. As we limped out of bc on a donut and with a broken door we decide the break in was a tweaker and the slashed tire was anti us sentiment (political or ski territorial). For that one we were parked at Joffre trailhead for a few days.

I’ve done many trips in bc over the years and that was the only crime I’ve experienced.

But just from the tone of some of the comments here it’s clear that some otherwise gracious people are equating all Americans to trump and his supporters. I get it. If I had a border between me and this chaos I would find it hard not to do the same. It’s pretty hopeless down here at the moment

FWIW he literally couldn't point out Canaduh on a map.

Asshattery move?

Americans going to Canada would be well advised to fly in and rent a car with Canadian plates. I know a few people up there that are really pissed at the USA

More than a few. Fans at the Canuck game booed a woman in wheelchair singing the US anthem. My parents are checking everything they buy to try to avoid anything made in USA.

I’m going to Fernie in my camper in March with wife/kid to support Canadian economy. I’m not afraid.

Quote not working, Going into US you will only go through US customs. |Same the other way. You go through Canadian. There wasa 83mil drug bust at border coming into Canada. Had made it from mexico all the way to Canadian border. Though it was coke so I guess it doesn't count.

Point to be made is that Canada can't legally stop anyone going to the border be they Canadian or tourist. You can go right up to the border its only when you make the jump do you break any laws. What Canada could do is be tighter on entry points to Canada and make them as tight as the US so there is not incentive to try to go through Canada and in some cases freeze to death. I don't know if tighter visa requirements are part of the border package

As of April 2024, Mexico had deployed 15,000 soldiers to the US border. https://bsky.app/profile/crampell.bs.../3lhcalxfhi22k

Trudeau says tariffs are paused for a month. The trade is that Canada will implement a $1.3B border plan... which they announced two months ago.

[Trackhead]

Will the xenophobia allow us south of the border foreigners to ski safely in the beautiful, sovereign Canada?

It was never a trade war it was always a drug war with Canada. Oh then why all the shit about the trade deficit and becoming the cherished 51st state. Curious

Anyway I hope they keep the US booze off the shelfs until Trump apologies about the 51st state and all the falsehoods about Canada. Then we can have a real discussion about defense spending.

I bet the underserved populations under Fords rule wish they had some of that Elon internet…..

Oh wait, Ford caved…internet coming via Starlink.

Figures from U.S. Customs and Border Protection show the agency seized 20 kilograms of fentanyl at the northern border last year, compared to 9570 kilograms at the southern border.

Oh but wait - now it’s about Canada not letting in US banks.

[MultiVerse]

Oh, how fortunate we are—to be setting fire to American standing in the world, to trust, to stability, to the very agreements Trump once insisted upon, all for the smallest of gestures, for something barely there, just so we can stand among the ashes and prepare to do it again, soon, very soon in 30 days

Maybe no dudes wearing speedos in New England this summer?

Re: absence of speedo dudes, I guess it's true that every cloud has a silver lining

So the tarrifs are off for 1 month which is probably code for " Canada are gona fuck us up if we try to go thru with tarrifs"

so now trump looks weak or stupid or both

wana bet it gets pushed back again in 1 month ?

It gets blipped out but he actulay tells trump to fuck off

there is a un-redacted version on youtube

[LeeLau]

Nobody who isn't a complete utter credulous regard believes that the tariffs won't come back or be lifted or altered or whatever.

That level of trust is gone for generations
