Late to this. When I saw it last week I just dismissed it as random slop from some juvenile MAGA account.
I just learned that the President of the United States himself posted this image of a map with Canada as part of the USA. He did so *before* PM Carney spoke at Davos.
Our sovereignty is not a joke. Those who went before us overcame huge adversity to build Canada as a proud, distinctive, albeit improbable country. A country that, despite its real flaws, is regarded as a beacon of opportunity & ordered liberty around the world.
I cannot understand the attitude of some Canadians - especially some of my fellow Conservatives - who are indifferent to this constant mockery and belittlement by the head of state of what used to be our closest ally.
In any normal time, this👇alone would be a major diplomatic incident that would result in démarching the US Ambassador, possibly recalling our own Ambassador for consultations, international and congressional condemnation, etc..
But Trump has dumbed down deviancy so much that another threat to annex a free & sovereign neighbour goes almost unnoticed.
And yet we have quislings here who blame Canada for having provoked this unhinged behaviour. Who cannot understand why Canadians are anxious and insulted. Who dismiss as a distraction Trump’s threat to “use economic force” to annex Canada; or his actual use of such force to disrupt our economy; or to insult the honour of our fallen soldiers.
No, this is not the “art of the deal.”
No, it’s not “just a joke.”
No, it’s not “Trump Derangement Syndrome” to be disgusted by constant threats toward and denigration of our country.
To the blame Canada crowd: have some respect. If not for yourself, then for those who built this country, and those who died for it.
