Speaking earlier on Friday in response to Trump’s Thursday assertion that he was ready to hit Canada with tariffs tomorrow, Trudeau said Canada “won’t relent until tariffs are removed,” but conceded the country could be in for hard times.

As a Canadian I fail to see how this will ever make me want to join the US.

Canada will outlive Trump.

Let's join the EU

Technically there is a land border betweenen the EU and Canada, so makes sense.

Can we sell ourselves to Denmark and join Greenland?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Speaking as a random Dane, I'm into it and willing to pay up to $20 for Canada as a (very) early Christmas present for Greenland.

I'm ready for Danelaw 2.0!

You are probably going to fare better by annexing New York.

Or, maybe you can do both.

I will never join the US

What do you have against incompetent brutally cruel fascist oligarchies?

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

You said it!

Can you take the coastal states? Particularly the west coast? We're tired of being part of America.

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 months ago

As a Canadian, 100% would embrace the west coast and New England.

We can call it Americanada and it would be awesome.

As a Canadian I can't see how annexing Canada will make America better? Also, lotssa luck with the guerilla warfare when your opposition is the same colour and speaks the same language.

They'll use all sort of dirty tricks just like the Gestapo did, like making you say the letter "Z", or making you spell the word "colour".
