Canada ‘will never be part of the US’, says new PM Mark Carney amid trade war
Former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor sworn in and expected to call election soon
Summary
Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada's 24th prime minister on March 14, declaring "We will never, in any shape or form, be part of the US," rejecting Donald Trump's annexation threats.
Carney won the Liberal leadership with 85.9% of the vote despite having no elected experience.
He called US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's suggestion that Canada would be better as "the 51st state" simply "crazy."
Carney is expected to call an election soon as he faces the challenge of managing Trump's trade war that threatens to push Canada into recession.
Every time Trump brings up Canada being a state, The Canadian PM should return the favor and refer to us as South Canadian Territories and demote him to mayor instead of president. If Trump gets big mad, just say they were just joking 🙃
Canada/UK should demand the land they once had in the US back and Mexico should demand the land the US forcefully stole from them back, simple. America should never have been viewed as a legitimate country in the first place.
It's aggravating that he keeps pushing it. Maybe his followers brush it off as a joke, but there was no better way to piss off Canada, for no gain. You don't joke about this, and I don't really think he actually jokes. Just diarrheas out the mouth and sees what sticks.
Honestly I think at this point any animosity still held about the burning of the White House should be forgotten. Hell I'd even let them Canadians do it again on one condition. Make sure him and as much of his administration are inside and the doors are locked this time.
There was once a literal war with guns between the US and Canada (War of 1812} and Canada won.
Things have changed a lot since then. The US has over 1 million active personnel to Canada's <100k. If it comes to a real invasion, things would not go well.
The real question is how many Americans would be willing to participate in that invasion.
Given the U.S.’s recent experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq, countries far smaller and with far fewer resources (natural and industrial) than Canada, I like our (Canada’s) chances!
Plus our military may be small but it’s elite, composed of professional soldiers extremely well-versed in US (and NATO) operations and tactics. If Middle Eastern countries with largely irregular forces can give the U.S. migraines using guerrilla tactics, we can do the same with far better results.
Conservatives are a threat to Canada’s existence.
Shit when did Trudeau step down?
Edited to elaborate that yes he announced his resignation on January 6 and today was his last half day.
Earlier this year.
Is this orange fucker going to let nukes go boom?
Extremely doubtful. They want our resources, not an irradiated crater.
