Thanks for this. I've been wondering why I don't see a lot of people talking about this continued "joke." Sure, he's a clown—but he's also the incoming POTUS. This is unprecedented. Am I just missing the dialogue?

I knew you would! It’s only because of you that I even thought to mention it lol — I’m back to almost 90% organization but still at 15% marketing (eyeroll)

No, you aren't missing it; I don't think anyone really wanted to give it oxygen. Even if legacy media doesn't want to give it oxygen, though, Canadians are still talking about it.

Just returning here a month and a half later to say, I still can't believe how few people are saying this part out loud.

Andrew Nichols is still talking about it a lot I think.

It's time for Canadians to take the Trump taunts seriously. Trump is lying about the facts about US subsidizing Canada. So, we should not take him literally. We are no longer living next the an elephant. Now it's a raging bully. It's time to stand up, show up and act up against the bully.

It’s the only way to deal with one.

I'm terrified. Why is no one else walking around in a state of perpetual dread?

Because there’s not much we can do? I hate to say it but he’s in another reality and I’m just thankful it isn’t me who has to sit face-to-face with him and pretend I don’t think he’s an idiot.

This should be seen as deadly serious for Canada. Trump may be blustering just like with the Mexico wall in his last term, but only if we call his bluff. Ideally, with all the provinces (especially Dani) working WITH the Federal government to stand united against his ridiculousness. I don't believe any Canadian other than a UCP loyalist/RWNJ would want to join the US...

I agree. He already had the ego but soon he'll have the power too.

That would be the one thing that would convince me to leave my homeland.

I've always said it would be the one thing that could convince me to own a gun.

Canada sucks.

Canada is a anti gun, anti God , pro gay country that should be invaded and taken over by the United States of America, I hope I wake up one morning and see u.s. tanks outside my house, I'll wave the American flag and give American soldiers coffee and Greek Baklava cake.God bless America.

He’s doubling down now that Freedland is gone and some of the Libs are turning against Trudeau.

What would their Embedded Public Relations Firm have come up with as CAMOUFLAGE !

Where might they ‘seek charitable donations to ‘leverage their ‘War Chest & Charitable Think Tank ‘breaking news for a ‘broken country ..
