Republicans. If they aren't threatening to secede from the United States, they're pretending that everyone else wants to join the United States.

Speaking as a Manitoban, “Fuck the fuck off.”
Not sure this guy understands that if that actually happened, no Republican would ever win the presidency again, and the House and Senate would instantly flip to the Democrats.
Cute of you to assume “Canada” would be given states rights. No no no my friend. At worst we’d be a Guam, or a Puerto Rico. With no political power whatsoever. At best, we’d be a neverending insurgency fought in the tree line.
I'm Canadian and I'm not confident most Canadians would vote democrat
That's disheartening. I've been under the impression that even most of your conservatives generally find Republicans to be completely cuckoo. Is that not the case?
That's becoming less and less the case I think, but we rejected their politics in the voting booth, so time will tell
we rejected their politics in the voting booth
This time. Polls last fall had PP set to win. Then Trump came along and we rejected it all. But now Carney, who rode to a win on "elbows up" appears to be putting his elbows down and is caving to Trump. I don't expect he'll win a second time.
Yeah, it's not encouraging, I'm starting to get my shit together for the inevitable rise of evangelistic corporate terrorism in Canada
US won’t outright attack Canada with the full force of their military but they will and are trying to coerce us into becoming a state by convincing maga rednecks in Alberta to leave Canada.
Not voting Democrat doesn't automatically mean yes voting Republican, after all, more parties are legally allowed...right?
MB would be a swing state that leans left, SK would be 55:45 R, AB would be 70:30 R, ON would be a bellwether swing state like NY was for centuries. QC, the coastals, and the Arctics would be blue states.
I mostly agree but I’d say AB would be closer to 90:10 R. I’ve got family and friends there and it’s very conservative. I don’t actually know a single liberal Albertan.
The rest is spot on though.
For context, we don’t have a single state that is 80:20 R. WV/WY are the closest we have, and even then it’s basically 70:30.
Any US state would be lucky to be invited to join Canada instead. For the poutine and less war crimes alone.
I counter offer. Fuck off and go salute your fascist, child rapist felon rump. After the violence that ice has been doing to every day people while most of you americans sit around watching youtube and twitch while regular people are being murdered by their own makes me ill. Well there is a couple of things the average american does well. Apathy and avarice.
I was more pissed off when I saw this 2 months ago, less so when I saw it again last month. I'm not saying it shouldn't be posted, but this is a repost and old news. At least highlight the date in the submission.
Join me and together we can rule the galaxy.

I would assume that he just wants friction. If he wants to generate an actual international incident, he should try to get a bunch of wackjobs out of Maine to go sit on Macchias Seal Island. That's the subject of an actual, unresolved US/Canadian territorial dispute, so from a US federal standpoint, Maine has a right to do whatever it wants there. Canada, in turn, has a history of aiming to establish a precedent of its authority over it and I expect isn't going to ignore a bunch of right-wingers out of the US setting up camp there.
I saw a documentary about a group that tried this during Trump’s first term in office.
The locals just referred to them as whacko American tourists, sold them kitsch, and otherwise left them alone, other than for the Canadian locals to politely refuse them entry to Canadian or environmentally restricted areas and facilities.
The locals (both Canadian and American) figured eventually some nutjob from away would make a bigger stink, but until then, they saw things as relatively in hand.
I’m surprised Noem hasn’t showed up there yet, like she did to the library that straddles the border.
If they were selling them stuff, this probably wasn't Macchias Seal Island, though it might be some other border area. There's not much there.

Oh, apparently someone is raising it this term, though.

The Republican leader of the state House, Rep. Billy Bob Faulkingham of Winter Harbor, last week urged President Donald Trump to defend “sovereignty over our waters,” referring to the little island in the Gulf of Maine.
I’m pretty sure that’s the one; only thing there is a Canadian lighthouse and a seal preserve, right? Most of the action takes place out on boats; the one group that tried to “stake a claim” on the island left with the first bad weather.
Yeah, that's it. That'd make more sense if people were selling stuff on boats. I was just saying that there isn't really, like, industry on the island to be selling anything.
Or do the worst possible fucking thing and inspire a bunch of Americans on TikTok YouTube and other social media to do it themselves
File an international arrest order for insurrection. Maybe he'll never leave the hole he lives in, but if...
I wonder how serious other countries will take American refugee status after we start WWIII over the currency crashing?
Hope the new guy wipes the GOP off the map in Maine. Look, I'm a weepy little bitch once you get a few beers in me, but first time I saw his campaign launch video, well, my face got wet, for... reasons. You'll see:

Ah, fuck. Getting weepy again. Watch that video. You will want to scream and cry. I have no idea what party he's running under. And I don't care. GOP? No problem, I'd vote for that man no matter what.
My god, why can't the fucking Democrats get behind that message?! Campaigns would no longer be competitions.
My god, why can’t the fucking Democrats get behind that message?!
??? He is running as a Democrat!

I'd love to see Canada become part of the US.
