    Trump’s latest remarks come only days after Pete Hoekstra, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, said it’s Canadians who are fixated on the 51st state talk, and that sort of rhetoric is now in the past.

    These idiots can’t even keep their bullshit consistent.

      Or, maybe it’s not (just) distraction. Maybe he is seeding interest amongst the Canadian magatards. Maybe this is designed to give traction to Dani Smith and her ilk, to create division and internal strife.

      Maybe Trump and the repubs have been following a playbook for all his Canada talk… maybe Putin’s playbook on Ukraine.

      “From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: Warfighting” -Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War September 30, 2025

      One of these threats is not a distraction

          Are they susceptible to jamming or other electronic fuckery?

          Are there defenses against such?

          How much can they carry and how painful could the payload be?

          Would you rather : magnesium, phosphor, napalm, and water in separate glass jars

          Or

          A great big kaboom?

    We Canadians just knew Trump would keep babbling about it.

      Sorry. He does that some times. We are working on it. Don’t let him inside. Just try to ignore him for now and he might go away.

      CANDU doesn’t use enriched uranium. So unlike other nuclear powered countries we haven’t built enrichment capacity necessary for power and weapons.

      Worse, the new SMR projects being built make us dependent on the US for fuel since they use enriched uranium.

      Well, we have treaties. With countries other than the United States.

      Might still be worth gearing up to breach them if need be, though. I suspect most of them will understand.

        My guess is he thinks naming it just a single state conveys the message that Canada is inferior. It’s whatever enough to just clump all together.

      I’m pretty sure Alberta would be its own state. But the rest of Canada is way too liberal for him to give us separate representation.
