Ford is gonna stick it to the meanie doodoo orange Americans by slightly harming the bottom line of Starlink, a private-sector company, at the cost of quality of life for bumfuck rural Canadians

A lot of tragic historical blunders have resulted from arrogantly underestimating an adversary. However, it seems impossible to underestimate Canada.

I think the US is overestimating Canada and Canada is underestimating the US at this rate

aren't these guys like... Canadian Proud Boys; [un]witting feds?

The Diagolon boys (which in reality, are only 3 main players with various other social media associates) are basically the only based, loosely organized globohomo resistance movement left standing 3 years after the convoy.

There will always be "Fed" accusations to any right-leaning dissidents in this space. Ezra Levant of Rebel News accused Jeremy MacKenzie of being a fed asset in social media print.

Neither of the 3 main players (Jeremy MacKenzie, Alex Vriend (Ferryman's Toll), Derek Harrison (Derek Rants)) were formally charged with their association with the Freedom Convoy because they claim they had premonitions before Trudeau sent in the good squad, so they left the frontlines before the arrests started. None of the 3 were part of the leadership team of the actual protest, simply interested parties who wandered in and streamed.

MacKenzie was charged around the same time though with offenses in something like 4 different jurisdictions (accused of reckless firearm use, possible assault allegations of an old gf, protesting in front of the Health Minister’s Nova Scotia home, some charges from the Quebec side of the river related to the convoy). He actually was incarcerated in Saskatchewan during the Oct '22 Public Inquiry into the Emergency Act. He was subpoenaed to testify from jail.

Jeremy eventually managed to have all charges stayed eventually AFAIK at great personal expense.

I'm not aware of any formal charges against the other two.

The three did a meme "Road Rage Terror Tour" this past summer where they set off in a RV and did fan service stops from coast to coast. They had trouble with antifa types calling venue owners and getting their bookings canceled. They also had journoscum stakeout their BBQs and write boogeyman national security stories about them. Hamilton mayor Andrea Howarth, formerly the Ontario NDP leader, did a public REEEing denouncing them and declaring that they didn't have free association or movement rights to have a BBQ in her fair city.

As far as I'm aware, the tour at least demonstrated that the movement has a few dozen heads in every moderately sized town that were willing to potentially phonebook themselves and pay 50$ to see the boys up close.

The only person that faced court consequences besides Jeremy for those 4 different counts you mentioned above was Gary Schill for getting into a domestic with his ex-wife and the only thing from it was him being banned from owning firearms for 5 years.

what are the pros and cons of each province becoming an american territory? Like Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, etc?

Pros:

• That sweet, sweet Federal money
• US citizenship
• Guaranteed US protection
• Federal benefits

Cons:

• No representation. You're a territory, not a state.
• Territories do not get the Federal funding states get.
• The Federal government basically runs you how they see fit
• US citizenship

Just got home from the gym and witnessed one of the most nigger cattle displays I've ever seen.

My mom, a boomer NDP head and my hyper liberal pooner sister watching Trump's address and talking about how they want to see his head explode live on TV. It was the most 'two minutes of hate' shit I have ever seen and I am fucking ashamed of them both.

The kicker? For years neither of them have given an actual answer as to why they hate Trump. My mom just reiterates whatever the news says, says he's an asshole, he's a crook, corrupt, etc and my sister is 100% convinced he's totally for real building tranny death camps.

I fucking wish anyone in this shithole cared one third of the amount Trump does for his country. We deserve everything we get and I am really fucking bitter about it.

We deserve what we get. We gauded and attacked trump for 8 years. Not me. Our government. Our people.

We deserve what we get.

A candidate to replace Trudeau is demanding nukes from England to "deter" The Donald.

How can you guys import so many brilliant Indian scientists every year and still not be able to make your own nuclear weapons? Is it a lack of competent researchers, or has the ECCC banned all the industries you would need to acquire the resources?

The crackhead's brother said these tariffs are basically an act of economic war against Canada. Trudeau directly called it a trade war. What about all the tariffs Canada already has on the importation of American goods? Are those acts of economic friendship?

So basically no real change for the Prairies?

We're used to Ottawa ignoring us - unless they want Alberta's money anyway - but if it means I can use the USD instead of glorified monopoly money I'm in.

Every ally signed a non-nuclear treaty in 1970, but building nukes is incredibly easy by today's standards, it's not like building microchips, even NK can do it and we have by far the highest grade uranium mines in the world. US nuclear superiority isn't because the 1940s technology is somehow stumping countries, building your own nukes is seen as an act of aggression unless your Israel.

The tariff shit is mind numbing and shows how reactionary and uninformed everyone is. You know the US has had tariffs on everyone else for years? Ever gone through customs and had to declare stuff or pay duties on declared goods? those are Tariffs. They aren't new and they aren't exclusionary to Canada vs USA or USA vs Canada.

Yes our leaders are retarded and gay, but so were yours literally 2 months ago, and hopefully soon ours will be less retarded and gay. I like Trump and I love the West but I also love Canada and I wish for prosperity and happiness to all the Western world despite whatever bullshit is going on in the world.

Individuals declaring stuff through customs is not remotely comparable to commercial export-import companies hauling tons of goods over the border. Also, Trump was the one who negociated the USMCA which replaced NAFTA. He's the one responsible for the bad trade he wants to complain about today.

Let me guess, they dont even know what Justo did, nor care how he managed to crater Canada's stock singlehandedly.

"Game's rigged, nothing can be done" vibe.

The Economics Explained guy just got around to talking about the Canadian Economy. Doesn't have much good to say.

They are one and the same and that is my point. The CBP collected over $77 Billion in tariffs in 2024, it doesn't matter if it's a single person bringing it in or large export-import companies running trucks or ocean liners.

My family's the same way. They do that thing where they quote the news, who quoted the government, and then take it as gospel truth without the slightest critique.

"But only 1% of America's Fentanyl comes from Canada! Our border isn't the problem!"

Is that why there's so many murders with handguns in Canada now - despite purchases being banned two years ago? Our rock solid borders? Grok tells me the average 9mm handgun weighs 900 grams, the equivalent of 4.5mil doses of Fent. It's not like they need barges to move this shit around.

This thread is so laughable. Just a bunch of yanks who probably get most of their news propaganda from X and self hating Canadians who wants to be Yanks sooo bad. But yeah..lets talk about Canada being a failed state and US of A currently otw to be a failed state.

 

[mindlessobserver]

But only 1% of America's Fentanyl comes from Canada! Our border isn't the problem!"

Which a lie by omission. First of all, the Canadian border is not as strictly watched as the Mexican border which means it's far easier to smuggle across. The actual percentage in total is unknown. The 1% line comes from actual busts on the border.

But the other issue is it's not Fentanyl itself being smuggled. It's the precursor chemicals from the Asian compounding labs. They are shipped into Canada and then moved across the border to the USA where they are then assembled in trailer park meth labs to the drug.

Which is royally pissing off the US government with Ottawa. This deliberate not quite a lie, lie. Which is being repeated by the current administrations political enemies. Whoever is advising Trudeau is a moron. Because if your goal is to avoid antagonizing the leadership of the only country you share a land border with, it's probably not advisable to play definitional "akshually" games with them, for the benefit of their domestic political rivals.
