Summary
Trump mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of the “Great State of Canada” on Truth Social, following recent discussions about tariffs on Canada.
Trump has joked about Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, linking the idea to U.S. trade deficits with Canada and Mexico.
Trudeau, responding to tariff threats, pledged to counter any unfair trade measures.
The remarks have sparked lighthearted responses, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford joking about the War of 1812 and Sen. Bernie Sanders referencing Canada’s healthcare system.
We (NATO countries) would have your back but damn is this a bleak thought, I do not like imagining this situation unfolding at all.
Long-shot 2025-2029 bingo card square: Canada joins the CSTO, USA rolls over the border, Russians rush in, WWIII and nuclear armageddon with a delicious maple flavor. I’d read that book, anyway, but hope it’s fiction rather than history in a decade or so.
I put USA joins CSTO on my bingo card square - I see a special bond between Russia and USA, Trump have a crush on Putin.
