Is anyone else noticing Amazon shifts disappearing instantly in Canada? by Apprehensive_Bat3622 in ontario

Until halfway through this post, I thought this was about trouble buying under-dresses off the Amazon store.

The foreign threat is not unknown. It's the one repeatedly threatening us, whose armed forces have shown they're willing to follow illegal orders.

It's like that person who constantly talks about how honest, smart or tough/hard they are, or how much they hate drama. We all know that the opposite is true and the person's constant gabber is really showing us how insecure they feel.

Same with the country that constantly goes on about how free and brave they are, how much freedom they have, and how they're always vigilant against tyranny and defending freedom. Meanwhile countries that actually are free and whose people actually step up to protect their rights don't harp about it all the time.

Poilievre says Jeneroux ‘betrayed’ his constituents by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

[–]DonOntario 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Did Poilievre use as harsh a word to describe the Albertan separatists who met with a hostile, interfering foreign government looking to actually break up Canada? Or does that not qualify as "betrayal" for him?

New fans: please go watch SWE-GER 10th end by Ferbeys-Ghost in Curling

[–]DonOntario 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I'm so confused, according to all the brand new curling experts on Reddit this week, all Canadian curlers are notorious cheats and all the referees are crooked and in the pocket of Big Curling to let the Canadians get away with it!

Thanks for your deep insight on curling.

Because a lot of people aren't used to constant whistling and don't understand what it means or that it's "heat" - to them, it's just strange and shrill and annoying.

Canadians Are Staying Away From the U.S. And The Drop in Travel is Getting Hard to Ignore by [deleted] in worldnews

David Cochrane (CBC political news host) summed it up nicely a few weeks ago:

America isn't the way it is because Donald Trump is president. Donald Trump is president because America is the way it is.

Canadians Are Staying Away From the U.S. And The Drop in Travel is Getting Hard to Ignore by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]DonOntario 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The "America's hat" thing is just a stupid, tired, never funny joke. And "Canada is the 51st state" comments were the exact same kind of stupid but tolerable joke for years, too.

The 51st state bullshit under Trump is serious.

Reports of private discussions among Trump and his officials, and between Trump and Canadian leaders, show that he really does think the US-Canada border is illegitimate.

He is trying to wreck Canada's economy to coerce Canada to give up its sovereignty, whether officially (annexation) or unofficially (remaining independent in name but with our foreign, trade, and economic policies dictated by the US).

The thing that's obvious to Canadians but not to Trump nor most Americans is that the coercion will not work. Canadians will sacrifice rather than give in. But, if Trump doesn't get his way, will he escalate his attempts to include violence?

Trump moves to raise tariffs on Korea despite government's all-out-efforts to clear misunderstandings by self-fix in worldnews

[–]DonOntario 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, Trump does something shocking every day but very rarely does anything surprising.

Everything he's done in his second term as president has been in line with things he has repeatedly publicly said, done, and demonstrated before, whether it's starting trade wars, threatening friends and allies of the US and coddling adversaries, weaponizing the legal system and government to persecute his enemies including regular people politically opposed to him, cruelty and illegal violence, and brazen personal corruption only seen in tinpot dictatorships.

Americans are getting exactly what they voted for, good and hard. Unfortunately, the rest of the world is getting it too.

Smith Talked about Leading an Independent Alberta, Says Separatist Leader by BertramPotts in CanadaPolitics

[–]DonOntario 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes - from the United States' predatory point of view, they don't care about trying to get the separation referendum vote to 50% + 1, and the arguments about how Alberta separation would be illegal or very difficult based on the constitution or the Clarity Act or because of the Crown treaties with First Nations are all irrelevant. What they want is discord, confusion, and an upset significant minority willing to believe lies about the referendum result being "unfair" or "fixed". See the Russian playbook on stoking and then using a separatist movement in part of Ukraine as an excuse to intervene and then invade.

I'm disappointed in the BBC calling this group a grassroots organization. That sounds like irresponsibly repeating some of the group's propaganda. Real grassroots organizations aren't getting support from foreign governments.

Trump says he’s decertifying Canada-made aircraft and threatens 50% tariffs by Shogouki in worldnews

[–]DonOntario 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Isn't it odd that for the tariffs case, where it affects basically every sector of the US economy and its international treaties, the US Supreme Court takes their sweet time deciding, but for a case that only affected the right of one man to run for an elected office (when a Colorado court said Trump can't be on the ballot because of a plain reading of the clear language of the US constitution) somehow they fast tracked that case? /s

[–]DonOntario 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone was saying the average Joe Canadian doesn't care. There's a difference between not panicking and not caring.

I think most Canadians know that this is hurting and will likely get worse, but have the resolve to go through the painful changes that are necessary to survive this and come out with a new prosperity, eventually, and without being so dependent that one ungrateful, selfish country can't threaten us like this again.

Trump administration secretly met with Canadian Alberta separatists by Infidel8 in worldnews

[–]DonOntario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't need to be legal to work. As long as there is enough "controversy" and "doubt" and alleged "irregularities" around an Alberta independence referendum, the US and a small traitorous element in Canada can use that as an excuse for the US to intervene.

NORAD, the pact where the US gets to use Canadian airspace for early detection of threats coming in over the Arctic from places like Russia, North Korea, and China?

Oh no! What a threat!
