That any of you actually think the U.S. will be invading Canada is so pathetic.

Democrats have the opportunity to do the funniest thing in 4 years.
We could be welcoming 6 new states and democratic dominance for a generation.
Just have to hold off a dictator for 4 years…

There's no way Canada would have any voting rights.

We all know that if the US were to actually invade, we'd fall within hours. Most people aren't willing to die on day one but we'd wreck havoc as the "51st state", which we all know would be a territory with no rights.


Please know that many of us are heartsick that Canada is getting dragged into this demented man’s plans. As an individual whose candidate of choice lost, I’m not sure what I can do that would help this horrible situation. I am buying Canadian products as much as I can, and I’m boycotting companies that are clearly supporting Trump and this madness — also as much as I can.

I’m glad that you’re taking this seriously. Too many Americans didn’t take it seriously, and too many more were actually attracted to what Trump was feeding them.

As a country, the US is now not to be trusted.

I'm not watching tonight. Despise the US coach for stoking the nationalism as well as the players are whooping it up with chants of "51st"! I don't have a problem with politics in sports - but that doesn't mean I will then watch it.


They’re really doing that? Wow.

Trump is an idiot, and he likes to apply his Queens real estate tactics to everything. That means saying outrageous things, to get his negotiating adversary to blink in order to stave off an imaginary catastrophe.

The smart thing to do is ignore him, and not give an inch.

Tariffs are another deal - I’m sure he’s serious about those. A Canadian boycott makes sense to wield economic pressure, but honestly it has to be pretty targeted to have an impact on the massive US economy.


If there’s someone like the AMA person who can give reasons why we shouldn’t take Trump seriously about this, I welcome reasons not to be so scared.

But, maybe to his credit, in a unpleasant way, Trump usually seems to try to act on his proposals. He may have terrible proposals, but he’s pretty open about what he’s doing. I think it’s a mistake to assume that he won’t try to move ahead with this.

I’m so sorry our craziness is affecting you. Seriously. It’s bad enough we have to deal with it. I’m sorry you are too.


Thanks. I feel like it's affecting most of the world, in one way or another. I just wish there was some way to stop this. It's been only a month and it feels like the world is going down the drain, fast.

Will you take any US refugees?


Doctors for sure, and probably nurses.


If Canada becomes the 51st state they don't need to take refugees, Americans can just walk in.

Are you from Russia? Apparently there’s a lot of foreign influence promoting the idea of breaking up the United States.


You don't have to be a foreign agent to hope that there is massive, crippling popular resistance to the idea of annexing a sovereign country that is our ally. That's patriotic.
