Pledging never to relent and to destroy President Trump, Ontario Premier Doug Ford placed a 25% tariff on all electricity delivered to the United States. After announcing the tariff Ford said, “It needs to end. Until these tariffs are off the table, until the threat of tariffs is gone for good, Ontario will not relent,” Ford said.
President Trump has found out about the Ontario tariff and has responded, big time: More
“It needs to end. Until these tariffs are off the table, ”
Exactly, dumb shit.
They are not getting the picture. Just wait until the massive lay offs start in their auto parts manufacturing facilities. That’s about the time the lights will go on.
“The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State”
Man that’s a lot of libtards. The only thing I can figure is that Trump recognizes Canada is a weak little piss ant nation and if we don’t support them than the Chinese will. And right now the Chinese cannot feed their population so Canada probably looks damn attractive.
They are a Country of 35 million with vast amounts of unused land yet we receive their trash by semi loads daily to Michigan with a land mass about 1/100th of Canada with about one quarter of Canadas entire population.
But they’re great neighbors who are being taken advantage of according to them.
The canucks are claiming victimhood (“Waaah-waaah!”) because President Trump is telling them they have to stop stealing from us as they shit all over us.
The people of Maine have been trying to get the Guv to stop importing electricity from Canada for years. I think she’s making money off it.
Her brother Peter made $22 million off clear cutting a new corridor to bring more power to the state.
There’s a group now lobbying for 2 or 3 small nuclear power plants.
This threat from Canada will only serve to make it happen.
All the pasty leftist lesbos in New England might have to switch to hand cranked vibrators. That’s a shame.
This notion of making Canada the 51st state seems a bit hair-brained. Canadians are, well, different. They do not share our fealty to free speech, the right to carry, religious views, and citizen sovereignty. They strike me as more in line with European sensibilities (total blind reliance on the government for cultural views and the necessities of life), so assimilating them into our culture of personal agency and independent thought will be beyond challenging.
I also hope Trump makes clear that any alliances or kissing up to China will be viewed negatively and would remove them from “friendly” status.
Canada a state? No. Make it a colony.
Canadians are subjects – not citizens – first, subjects of the Queen … uhh no Charlie … then subjects of whoever tells them to sit, roll over, play dead, beg, eat shit, or bark at the Moon.
Give Canada to Puerto Rico (or Haiti) and call it a day.
Heck, give it back to France … or the Indians.
We’d be fools to consider political union, of any sort, with them.
State, Colony, whatever, they should not have voting rights for at least 50 years. You can bet though China’s got their eyes on them. Out of necessity. China’s in a world of hurt and Trumps laying on the pain.
Why in the heck would we want Canada. On day one they will haul but to the south.
@Rich:
Agreed re Canadians’ colonial mindset. It’s the same problem I see with the Europeans: they have centuries of servitude and feudalism ingrained in their psyche and they just don’t want to give that lifestyle up. Little sense of self-responsibility regarding protection (“I trust the government even when it’s obvious that I shouldn’t”).
For the most part, we ain’t that way. And don’t want to be.
I think Trump should call the real thing American Bacon.
Just so it’s clear their ham stuff is not bacon.
If Canada becomes a state, it should be divided into smaller states. There are 10 Provinces and 3 Territories. Combine them to make 4 or 5 states.
Provinces (10):
Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan
Territories (3): Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon
“For the most part, we ain’t that way. And don’t want to be.”
Alexis de Tocquelle’s writings detailing his travels throughout the US in 1831 present several themes that he marveled at. A French aristocrat, he was struck by many truly American qualities not seen on his side of the pond; the American pioneer spirit, self-reliance, a moral clarity rooted in the gospels, but mostly, the “Can Do” spirit. He writes that if something is broke in Europe, the people petition the government to fix it. Here, the people fix it themselves, taking the most direct approach.
Canadians can read about such distinctions, but can never relate to how we view the travails of life.

Or resolve to get things accomplished. But in many ways the Canadians and the Europeans are a conquered people.
The large Canadian cities, just like ours, are full of libtard bastards but out in the sticks it’s like flyover country here in the States.
