As a Texan I am deeply amused.

I still think we should join the EU.

All I know today is that last night one of of dear friends from the US, a doctoral grad, mid 70's, white and a total grandma, attending the benefit dinner,broke down in tears talking about her trip from the US to Canada, the fears she has returning and her abject, utter despair at her daily life in California these days as a teacher (retired), mentor and citizen.

Her husband, a white, cis het teacher (retired) wouldn't even leave to re-enter the country because of the fear he has about the positions he has expressed on social media about TrumpCo.

WTF.

I don't know if you ever watch David Pakman? He's from Argentina and is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He has mentioned on his show a couple of times about his lawyers warning him not to leave the country because of re-entry threats from Trump, and if he does leave, to be sure to have an immigration attorney on standby ready to respond.

I don't think your friend fears are unjustified. This kind of shit should not be happening in the United States of America.

Along these lines....

From a fellow Canadian today:

So, Trump intends to visit Canada for the G7 meeting.

Here’s the thing, though — Canada has strict rules about felons entering the country. And the Presidency does not protect Trump, as former President Bush was once forced to request special permission to enter Canada over a DUI from years before.

I would desperately love to see Prime Minister Carney and our legal system stand firm and block Trump’s entry unless he applies for special permission.

I desperately want to see him grit his teeth and rage over being treated like the convicted criminal that he is, and have to face the law like every other person in my country.

Please, Canadian government. Don’t let us down. Remind this fucker that we know exactly who he is, and what he’s done.

I suspect he won't show rather than risk the embarrassment.

Time for Chuck to drop a reminder to the great orange pretender that Canada is still a member of the Commonwealth and the King of England is our titular head of state.

One of the reasons TRumpCo. and OilCo. want to annex our country is because of this.

The US hit peak oil.

Oil chiefs warn of end to US shale boom

Companies cut spending and idle their drilling rigs despite Donald Trump’s pledge to ‘unleash’ production

We are not considering the offer. The only reason we would need this stupid 'golden dome' is because of madmen like him.

 

[rareboy]

So while grandpa Schitzenpants is raving about his Golden Dome...

Canada is working at a pace to join with the EU in a major defense initiative.

And it is an ill wind that doesn't blow some good.

Someone remind us again today why Canadians would ever want to be a 51st state?

Uh oh.

US missing Canuck visitor dollars?

The U.S. ambassador to Canada is pushing back on Ottawa's travel advice, saying his country doesn't search phones at the border and arguing some Americans travelling to Canada are having a tough time.

"We welcome Canadians to come in and invest, to spend their hard-earned Canadian dollars at U.S. businesses," U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra told The Canadian Press in an interview Friday.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/border-device-searches-us-ambassador-1.7555350

Fuck off.

Over the years, whather because of 9-11 or Trump V1.0, we have been treated like shit at the US border.

And we are as white as only Euro-Anglos can be...although my ggrandmother was Irish and the Us was pretty shitty to them back in the day as well.

Hoekstra should be spending his time apaologizing for unreasonable treatment at the border for all Canadians, not brushing it off.

The idea that Canadains (except for the MAGAts that seem to live in Albertastan) would be investing or spending their dollars at US businesses while his boss trashes our country is the height of arrogance.

So in the Elon Musk thread I posted the bit about how Musk's fascist grandfather belonged to a movement that wanted to get rid of democracy and create
one nation that included the US, Canada, Greenland, Mexico and Panama as well as a part of South America.

So we can guess that in his drug addled moments he was the one who spun this fantasy for Trump again...this time without Mexico because that would then mean
they would be US citizens and Trump would hate that.

With Musk no longer being one of the Trump whisperers, the idea seems to be shelved for now.

But all of this awakened Canadians to the existential threat that a demented sociopathic US president poses and as the article says....Here we are again.

A sign of our independence campaign....Canada will make a clear commitment to working with EU partners to strengthen defence.

Against US aggression.

Canadians travelling to the US advised to not fucking do that

OTTAWA - Canadians thinking of planning a trip to the United States are being advised by the Government of Canada to perhaps consider going anywhere else on the entire fucking planet for their summer vacations.

So TrumpCo. might want to go to war with Canada AND Europe...but I am thinking ....nooooooooooooo.

What this signifies though is that Canada is done with the US as a trusted neighbour.

We may have the world's longest undefended border for the moment...but we are done.
