How it's looking right now:

Nothing brings a country together like an external threat.

Totally, and it's the smaller businesses and workers in Canada who'd take the brunt—80% of Canadian exports go to the US. Losing that market isn't just numbers, it's thousands of livelihoods.

The secret was mentioning French-once you get Quebec pissed off, they'll stay on board.

Trump has even managed to get Parti Quebecois to shelve its independence referendum for now. 🍁

How many of those Twitter posters are Russian?

Can you explain?

Oh damn I didn’t think about that. Sucks for him 😂

Strange times.

Just mindblowing shit happening left and right.

And the PQ promising no separation referenda until after Trump is out of office.

Nailed it

and the mad king

As long as I get to pick the name

That’s the problem with invasive species everywhere.

California too bsky.app/profile/jtd....

Americans have no idea how resolute we are, & the lengths we will go to defend our country. No idea whatsoever.

We’re already in a 150-front trade war and a shooting war. Hard to muster national will against Canada specifically in that context. Also, people who know anything know we’re in the wrong here.

It's about time somebody does.

Conversely, because of the geography involved, the burdens may fall largely on Northern states that largely already oppose Trump.

after all of... This, there was a lot less support amongst my conservative in-laws for being absorbed by the US.

I genuinely can't tell which way around you're suggesting that would work, but that'd be a great move and one I'd completely support.

He was the head of the Bank of England IIRC.

Carney literally won on “elbows up”, no such thing in the USA

And the fact that Canada is going to let 50,000 Chinese EVs into the country also might make them a bit nervous.

I don’t know how Trump, with worse polls than GWB in 2007, thinks he can keep hold of the legislature like this. Not great finding out our level of authoritarian capture the hard way but here we go.

Military alliance with China.

Not unlike the actual war with Iran in that regard.

40M Canadians hate Trump. 70-80M Americans hate Trump too. That speaks to your point.

And he was right.

What do I know, but I think full integration into the EU would boost both the EU and Canadian economies and would be an enormous FU to Trump.

Exactly! Citizens of both countries will mostly blame Donald Trump.

A consistent tendency of Trump, especially in his second term, is to have a strong hand and try to bluff everyone into thinking it’s an unbeatable hand

It's weird to put it this way but it helps that this is an existential threat from our point of view too. Yes it's about keeping good jobs and keeping prices low but it's also about Canada continuing to exist as a sovereign nation and that part of it is a lot more important to us.
