"Hostile Regime"

Forgot who recently said to "Annex Canada"?

🤔

There can be (and is) more than on hostile regime in the world.

One is all the way across an ocean, the other one is next door. Might need some re-prioritizing the list of "hostile regimes"

Most people, and all institutions can focus on more than one thing at a time.

Mate, one is LITERALLY and repeatedly threatening to invade us. Yes, we can do multiple things at once but one should be way higher on the agenda to deal with

Ok so when is he going to instruct his people to not be around any american social media? this issue here is that the US is the larger threat to canada but is being ignored because of red scare propoganda

While that's true, where are all of Poilievre's statements in the Trump anexation comments? I've seen a ton of responses from a ton of politicians but none from him?

Genuine question, though. I'm not on a lot of social media, and of course my interests have a bias, but I still find it strange that I've seen clear statements from so many politicians across the spectrum and none worth putting on the front page from Polievere? Did the CPC PR team just suddenly take a break when this happened? Where's all the fervent, "Canada first" rhetoric when Trump is making claims on Canadian soil?

I think they're hoping Musk will buy Quebec.

Thanks, I hate it. That entire premise made me retch a little.

That's the big thing. Politicians/media programming Canadians that everything the US empire wants is "because they love the world", or actually, anything the US empire wants, is certain to help the US economic extortion campaign against Canada. The only option is fatigue and eventual capitulation. Canada having meetings with China/Russia is path to a more neutral stance that will let US woo Canada to return to its current subjugation level.
