Trudeau was born on Christmas Day 1971 but his popularity as Prime Minister has been steadily declining and now he's going to give a belated Christmas gift to Canadians, eh?

I'll believe it when I see it.

But if he does, good riddance to the fucking asshole. Call an election.

Not trying to start a political discussion. Just confirming my suspicion. I have no further commentary on the matter.

His unpopularity has little to do with Trump. The Liberals want him to resign because they are selfish and don't believe they can win with him at the helm.

All the YouTube shorts worked apparently. As far as I can tell that is 100% the reason for all of this. Hah.

Today a well-known American repeated his idea that Canada should become the 51st state: "If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no tariffs, taxes would go way down and they would be totally secure from the threat of the Russian and Chinese ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great nation it would be!"

Is Canada an island now? I don't understand how Canada can be "surrounded" by ships.

3 sides by water. Need to build a canal along the southern border to make us an island.

The Ontario premier suggested that Canada buy Alaska.

Buy Greenland instead

Buy Greenland instead

My understanding is that Greenland is a nice sounding name, but it's a wasteland. OTOH, Iceland sounds bad but is awesome. We should buy Iceland. We'd get Bjork.

Maine needs to expand and U.S. annex New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Wasn't there an Canadian invasion thread?

It was a glorious exercise in stupidity.
We outdid ourselves.

Now the stupidity has been elevated to the presidential level.

 

[HecticArt]

Avoid it......

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Avoid it......

That's all I am saying.

"We'd get Bjork" is a cool punchline. It should be a trending hashtag.

It could either be an album title for an indi band, or the name of a sitcom.

Oh shit he did it on purpose, fuck.

What a goddamn asshole. Send him down here dude. That guy deserves death and I don't even care if any of the people at the festival died. Doing that shit on purpose should warrant a death sentence.

I saw the headline yesterday but I didn't read it so I was hoping it was just some sort of accident.
