Trump administration 2024-2028

[Lumber]

Generally it is a term the Liberals have applied to the Conservatives and PP specifically trying to claim they will sell out Canada and let us be annexed.

It can also refer to those within Canada who think we should be the 51st and just bend over and join America.

It could also apply to those who are still patriotically Canadian, but who for some reason seem infatuated with Trump, and like American MAGA believe everything he says and who are incapable of believing anything Trump does or says is wrong.

I have heard this term Maple MAGA. Who are they? Any known personalities?

The basic definition is a Canadian who supports Trump policies and politics.

That can be further defined into sub categories of Canadians that put that type of support over their own country even if those policies are to the detriment of Canada. Like any movement or ideology there are degrees of support.

If you are talking about here on this site, there are 3 I’d classify as hard core Maple Maga and maybe one or two as soft supporters. No I will not name them. Their posting history speaks for itself.

If you are talking about in the public space? PP has been accused of it, most of the Alberta separation movement could be classified that way. Jenny Byrne and Candice Bergen with their Maga hats could also be lumped in there by critics.

Doesn't Ford's ad constitute foreign interference?

Could "MAGA Canadians" apply to CAF members who don't donate their coming back pay considering the only reason that came about was because of Trump? Blood money.

I'll see your MAGA and raise you a TDS.

...

Amazing.

If I’m reading this right, everyone entering and leaving the US will be photographed, including Canadians at land crossings.

Biometric data collected at land borders will include photographs that will be retained for future verifications.

Seems very CCP-ish to me, but maybe this is going to be standard practice around the world?

No.

Foreign influence? Sure. But there is nothing wrong with that.

Amazing.

“TDS” (and “BDS”, “ODS” and “HDS” before it) is an example of a thought terminating cliche meant to end debate and repair cognitive dissonance with a cliche rather than a point.

Doesn't Ford's ad constitute foreign interference?

Not even remotely. And interference in what?

Foreign interference is covert, clandestine, subversive, etc. Ford’s ad is openly attributed, is not deceptive, and is not illegitimate in any way.

It's wishful thinking believing congress or the Supreme Court is going to reign Trump in. He's just doing what he wants leaving is detractors to look at each other and yell that's not allowed.

The US is built on powerful people skating through corruption. He's civilly responsible for sexual abuse, criminally responsible for falsified business records. And here he's free to blast countries with tariffs when his little feelings are hurt.

I'll believe the US will do something about Trump when they stop withholding the Epstein files.
