Survey Says: Play it tough, Canada*

Tariffs, border demands & defence: Half of Canadians say this country should play hardball against Trump’s threats -

On the president-elect’s musings over Canada as 51st U.S. state, a mere five per cent are interested December 5, 2024 – From Truth Social posts deriding the U.S. trade deficit with Canada, to this country’s fentanyl production and the resources allocated to monitoring what was once hailed as the...

And on that 51st state thing?

Would LOVE to see a regional breakdown of this one, though - nothing I could find on AR's site.
* - How many survey respondents know how little leverage Canada has?

Easy solution is to just have anyone wanting that just move south. They might want to hurry though as the border is about to get tighter.

If it was that easy a lot of us would have.

I've looked into it.

Interesting survey.

-More Canadians agree the flow of drugs from Can to US is a huge problem - check
-More Canadians agree Canada needs to do more to secure border with US - check
-More Canadians want to hit NATO spending target - check

Trump has called for all this, he is demanding what more Canadians agree with.

Absolutely.

We should for sure act on all of that.

Not sure how that applies to the 51st statehood stuff which in the end is really dumb but a good troll but I’m all for people that dont like it here to go find greener pastures.

Has the process dissuaded you? What part of it is the show stopper?

A lot already do. From my understanding if you have the right skill set and can contribute getting that green card is not impossible.

Some close family of mine did that decades ago a started a hose manufacturing company. Green cards then citizenship.

Like anything there are hoops to jump through.

My understanding is the US wants to slow immigration down so maybe it’s a bit harder at this time.

Exactly why it will never happen.

Perhaps... sometimes things happen we never saw coming.

we suffer some sort of National Unity Event which will more than likely be Québec succession. This then causes other simmering issues to rise to the surface with other successionist movements forming in Western Canada.

Funny. When Harper was running the shop and the economy was you know, actually working, it seems separatist talk simmers down. In 2011, the Bloc went from 47 seats down to 4 and in 2015 they barely regained 6 seats (10 toal, hardly a rebound).

Then we get 4 years of Disastrous Prime Minister Trudeau and the Bloc grows to 32 seats from 10 (mmmmm, interesting). Then in 2021, they held that 32 seats. They are posed to become the opposition. Why? Because everything Trudeau touches from economy to immigration to Gun laws to defence (and everything in between) is a total train wreck. No, he is the Political Chernobyl.

Cue the Trudeau defenders to explain in some lengthy BS how its not Trudeau's fault or its not that bad (and then pretend they don't support Trudeau)

 

[ArmyRick]

Not even worried

We know. You have been ignoring everything going terribly wrong with Trudeau's brand of Liberals

 

[ArmyRick]

But the US has a greater risk of fracturing

Not from what the last election shows

 

[ArmyRick]

It reminds me of 9/11. Had you said in July 2001 that the west would be embroiled in a twenty year bloody insurgency war in Afghanistan, I think most people would have told you to stop drinking and go home.

Then look what happens.

When you think the unlikely is not going to happen, and thus FAIL to plan a contingency, it will bite you in the ass. Some people here would be wise to learn from history. like @Remius

It is fascinating how he managed to take a Liberal majority to possibly not even being the opposition after the next election.

Biggest mistake he made was bill c-75. That one bill has been disastrous for Canada and has resulted in the drastic increase in crime which we have sadly grown indifferent to.

Just need a refresher, which one was Bill C75? Is that the bail for all?

But the US has a greater risk of fracturing before it ever annexes Canada as a territory.

Perhaps sooner than later. Or, perhaps not. Political opinions may vary.

A Deeply Fractured US​

Most probably know that there’s a substantial US military and law enforcement population on Twitter. I follow some. Reading their thoughts & viewing what they’ve been RTing/posting in the last few days has been heart-breaking.

I think military pers in general carry with them a pre-conceived notion by some civilian populations that they’re cold, detached, mindless and just do what they’re told without further thought, or care, for the impact on others. While this may be the case (and absolutely necessary) during some Ops/situations, of course we know this is far from the truth.

Catch and release. Coupled with the unwillingness to appoint judges and the 18 month limit for court cases (thanks to the supreme court).

Nope. You just feel that way because I don’t your guy any better.

Rage. Control it.

 

[ArmyRick]

Rage.

What Rage?

 

[Remius]

What Rage?

Misplaced rage.

I comment that I’m not really worried about a fantasy of having Canada annexed by the US and you go on another Trudeau rant.

I get it. You’re angry but your anger is misplaced.

I’ve already told you that I am unlikely to vote for the guy and I didn’t vote for hi last time either. That doesn’t mean I like the alternative and that clearly upsets you.
