As Trudeau Steps Aside, Trump Floats US-Canada Merger
The West's rolling crisis of governance claimed another victim early this week, when Justin Trudeau resigned as Canadian prime minister in a kind of self-inflicted coup de grâce.
Following an abrupt falling out with Chrystia Freeland, who tendered her own resignation last month, Trudeau's near decade-long reign became entirely untenable, a state of affairs he readily acknowledged Monday.
By the time he bowed to the pressure, more than four in 10 self-identified Liberals (and three quarters o
Assuming we Canadians would get to vote after such a merger, in the short term we would elect 2 more Democratic senators, and probably 60% of representatives would be Democrats. So not going to happen with the current makeup of your government.
Now, if you conquer us and we become a northern Puerto Rico, who knows.
All the provinces west of Ontario and Quebec would be a welcome addition to Alaska, Idaho, Montana and North Dakota. All the Eastern provinces should remain as Nouveau Canada. While we’re at it, it’s past time for Cuba to be annexed by Florida. They literally dying to come here anyway. It’s fun to contemplate these additions.
Now all we need is a motive to invade. Unsubstantiated rumors of WMDs (the nukes, not the Heisenberg Report commenter) should suffice.
This has me laughing out loud.
Unsubstantiated rumors of me have often served as a causus beli. Comes with the territory I’m afraid.

Dude. You know, that or, His Dudeness, or Duder, or El Duderino if you’re not into the whole brevity thing. (There’s a Dad joke in there somewhere.)
I suspect there’s a beverage involved here.
Nothing wrong with white male dudes. I kinda like them. 🙂

“Look, a squirrel!” Pumpkinführer wins with every inane call to buy Greenland (or Canada, or wherever) or to tariff everything, because like puppies we chase every squirrel pointed our way and fail to call out the real stories, the fascism growing in front of us. Russ Vought will implement Project 2025 under our noses while we compete for peanuts with the squirrels. Schedule F will be brought back into force, thousands of non-loyalist federal employees will be canned and replaced only where useful, and only with lackeys. And that’s only one of the many despicable fronts about to be attacked, including preemptive, illegal moves that can only be fought with the slow-moving court system. Greenland and Canada are cover for the real work being done, and it’s so much more fun to publish about.
I agree, the Canada, Greenland, Panama blather is just distraction and cover.
