President Donald Trump's United States of America

...no, I stand with those who want to put Trump, his horde and enablers in their place. Their cry for justice is my cry for justice. So ignoring and isolating myself from them is not an option for me. Sorry.

We need to stop being nice about Americans and feel sorry for having Trump. A LOT of them are showing their true face now that Trump is there...he's the enabler allowing them to show what was always there.

Couldn't agree more with this

Yeah. I'm not sure Canada actually owns any air defense batteries. We have a few old fighter jets, but that's about it. That and the geese.

Canada has no advanced air defense systems on Canadian soil. IIRC Canada did place an order worth 100's of millions to buy a Patriot defense battery for Ukraine. Also, from best I can tell Canada placed an order for some Swedish MANPAD anticraft systems a few years ago. The order was about $250 million so I don't think that would buy very many MANPADS. We need thousands of them on Canadian soil, and I would bet most are in Europe "to protect NATOs eastern flank".

Canada is completely defenseless from an aerial assault or ground invasion from the United States. The meagre number of anti-tank missiles that Canadian Forces have are in Europe "to protect NATOs eastern flank".

For months now I have been saying on this forum that Canada needs to prioritize defense of our homeland and that NATO will not protect us from an American invasion and I have received nothing but ridicule. With Trump now threatening a military take-over of Greenland my concerns don't look ridiculous anymore. That an American president would threaten a military takeover of the sovereign territory of a fellow NATO country proves that the NATO alliance is meaningless and dead.

I don't know about anyone else on this forum, but it fills me with dread when I contemplate what Trump has in store for us. Yesterday Trump tore up 66 international treaties signed by the US over the past decades. How long before Trump declares that the United States does not accept the territorial boundaries of Canada. What are we going to do about it?

Carney is travelling to China to discuss trade next week. Will Trump allow Canada to do trade with China? He has ordered Venezuela to only trade with the United States. Forget about trade talks resuming with the US. Trump will be giving orders to Carney.

When I sleep tonight, I will try to dream of a border wall and successfully cordoning off our southern neighbour, including a complete firewall from their internet, a blackout of their news media, and every other business relation. Canada would be better for it.

So, want isolation from the United States? Beware what you wish for.

I have very vivid memories of that crazy cultural contagion that swept across the border after George Floyd was murdered in 2020. Many Canadians eagerly lapped up the BLM summer of madness and then dialled the craziness up to the max. It appeared American far left progressive culture had no more eager adherents than those who cultural cringe north of the border. Without Confederacy or much slavery north of the border (non-Indigenous, that is....), they really had to reinvent bad things to be ashamed of. Ultimately, the actual tearing down of a single statue of Macdonald is more damaging to the fabric of our nation than all the rhetoric from the Orange Man. Sankofa Square - pretty sums up the vacuity of Toronto's elite culture. If we don't stand up for ourselves, who will?

I was angry at the time, though in retrospect, the debasement of our culture, society and history was both sad and pathetic. No one can pretend our past is perfect, but it is a proud heritage we have that has produced a society with one of the highest standards of living in human history.

So, patriotic again? Welcome back. LoL.
