Something from this podcast stood out to me.
He talks about how Austin Matthews is a great guy because he spends a lot of time at Sick Kids playing with the children. Does Austin sucking up to known big league pedofile Trump cast that in a different type of light? Just speculating.
The single most important purity test is Trump. Abraham Lincoln, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mr Rogers, and uhh Eleanor Roosevelt would instantly become terrible people if they shook Trump’s hand, regardless of anything else they did or accomplished in life. That’s how it works. It’s like King Midas kinda.
King Mierdas
That doesn’t really seem newsworthy. Basically, “podcaster says something”.
Does someone have a citation on the threats?
I’d heard him mention he wanted Canada to join the US, I’d not heard him threatening it, nor bringing tanks to the border.
Fucking moron
Get fucked. It’s 3 seconds on google to find reputable articles about his threats to canada, videos of him threatening canada, or even his own fucking posts on truth social.
The only reason it hasn’t happened is because his people distracted him with invading Venezuela, then threatening Greenland, then Iran, now Cuba, or maybe still Iran.
Can’t you just link it or tell me what he said so i can search it, it had to take longer than 3 seconds to type that.
I feel finding an article on tanks at Canada’s border would be easier to find if it was true.
it had to take longer than 3 seconds to type that.
And yet, here you are, like Oliver Twist, hat in hand asking “please sir, may i have a link?”
I can’t find anything when I searched.
You’re sealioning and you fucking know it. Nobody’s buying your bullshit.
What’s wrong with you? There’s active‑duty military personnel deployed in Canada, yet you seem to ignore that the United States, arguably the most heavily armed and volatile nation on the planet, shares a border with Canada. I don’t care that you haven’t shown up at my door with a loaded gun and threatened me personally. The letters you sent, the posts you made, and the fact that my neighbor is armed to the teeth are already more than enough to make me feel unsafe. It’s enough to imagine our entire apartment building turning into a “crater of doom” without you even leaving your unit. That’s how fucking armed you are.
Sorry what is it you’re wanting to do to protect us from these nukes?
I think the tariffs are apart of the “threat” … he said he would remove them if we "joined. The thing with Trump is he says that he doesn’t “need” anything about Canada and then talk about all the freshwater we have. So it’s a lot of “dog whistling” mixed in with actions like the tariffs whenever we do things like make deals with China.
I fully agree with Steve Dangle. When will a Canadian NHL team finally take the Stanley Cup?
If Buffalo wins it, would that count?
Wow! That guy is more angrier than that Canadian curling guy! I can’t fault the team players for being thrown into that weird political situation. They will laugh at almost anything that is intended to be a joke just to show welcoming respect to authority (even if they don’t mean it and even if it is wrong to do so). Their visit to the SOTU address is more about the committees running things than about the players.
I’m about to say sounds silly but I say it often.
“He wants to make all of Canada a single state…wouldn’t you break it up into multiple states? With Canada as the 51 state be the new powerhouse? Like California? Because Canada is like a whole ass country”
And I know that’s not the issue. The issue is that he’d threaten war at all… but imagine the entirety as Canada as one single state. Also Venezuela is the 52 state. Iran and Greenland are combined to the 53 state because fuck it its nearly 5 o’clock”
Puerto Rico will remain not a state
If Canada was a state, the Republicans would never win the electoral college again. There would never be another Republican president.
And the House of Representatives would be permanently blue.
And even just 2 more senators would be a massive risk for the Republicans too. If each province was a state, it would be game over in the senate as well.
California, Texas, New York, and Canada would all be blue in 2028. There are only so many Floridas and Texas is not guaranteed.
And if the Canadians in Florida and Arizona and Nevada could vote, they may not be as red anymore either.
Canada will never be a state. But it would certainly kill the US Republican Party if it did.
I’ve got bad news we are all mostly already blue. Replicocans only win because voting is a pain is the ass by design. When democrats when they don’t even try to fix things, they just put thier hands up and say “I’m so pissed but thier nothing we can do other then complain quietly to ourselves. Thats a shame.
It’s kind of a pain, especially in certain districts in red and purple states where they make it intentionally hard to vote… but for the vast majority of non-voters, either they just don’t care or they think it won’t make a difference who they vote for.
It’s as much a mind game as a foot game.
I’d love to go back to not caring about politics. I’d love to go back to never wondering if the surgeon general has ever practiced medicine in thier life.
I don’t think you are accurately accounting for the popularity of politicians who align themselves with MAGA policies in Canada
Everything is bigger in canada
Bro I live In Texas. I just saw this in all.
Everything, and I mean everything, is bigger in Texas
Except budget, taxes, healthcare, eduction, over all happiness, morals or freedom
But we’re number one in having an Alamo.
To be clear this is satire.
I don’t get the bigness thing about texas, Ontario is one third bigger.
Excuse me while I take a break to drink my large soda from Whataburger.
It’s gonna be a while.
To be clear this is satire.
We truly live in the blursed timeline.
I felt I had to add that because we live in the crazy timeline
Edit: I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t mention YOUR Alamo? We had a whole ass Alamo and you didn’t.
Satire
Keeping it a single state means fewer senators. Not that Canada is like a communist haven or anything, but they’re FAR from our MAGA bullshit and they don’t wanna dilute the power they’ve accumulated in that chamber of congress.
Also, Canada would be the 3rd or 4th highest GDP in the US if it became a single state. California and Texas have it solidly beat. NY is neck and neck with Canada.
California doesn’t fuck about. While a higher gdp than new York’s is still nothing to ignore
GDP seems to be a high score for wage slavery.
Canada does things slightly differently.
Trump doesn’t spend time thinking about the practicalities of something like this, because when he says “51st state” what he means is “The latest expansion of my kingly domain.”
He has zero intention of letting newly subjugated Canadians vote. He doesn’t even want to let Americans vote. These are the fantasies of an autocrat, not carefully thought out plans.
He’s just a spoiled rich kid in a toy store, demanding everything he sets his eyes on: “I want Greenland! I want Canada! I want everything!”
His parents were monsters, so they indulged him, and so did everybody around him for his entire life, and now he thinks that’s what life is - he gets whatever he demands, because he’s better than everybody else, obviously. And for some reason, those around him continue to indulge him.
What he needs, is a spanking, and a time out.
Media outlets should not repeat “51st state”.
Why not? Let people know he said that.
Not reporting on it before Trump is how people thought it started with Trump.
No, that’s not accurate. One, reporting on what before Trump? On what? Next, using his idiot terminology as if it is legitimate does not help anything. “51st state” is a disgtusing, moronic and nonsensical phrase he uses and they are legitimizing it.
American 51st state threats. If they had been reporting on it before Trump then people would realize it didn’t start with Trump.
This is a really stupid line of reasoning.
How do you figure? America makes these threats for years, no one cares to report on it then it gets reported on with Trump and the loser thinks it shouldn’t be reported on.
Because they weren’t real threats when the government wasn’t the ones saying it…
I don’t care about random pundits saying bullshit
US doesn’t have real media,they just push a thought until it’s popular enough for the government to do it.
All mainstream media does is give publicity to Chump
Professional sports are state sponsored to promote patriotism. Sports leagues are made to empower and legitimize people like Trump.
Lol.
I thought it was known that a lot of NHL players vote for and support Republicans.
Mostly a league made up of wealthy white folk from upper-middleclass upper class families that tend to be conservative. Sometimes you hear of an outlier (Bobby Ryan for example). But you have to be wealthy to afford to play the sport.
I love hockey, dont get me wrong. But demographics are demographics.
That’s wild to hear. I always thought of hockey as a sport of diplomacy. It’s heart breaking to hear the ethical hockey players are choosing a more aggressive approach to politics. The “might makes right” viewpoint.
It you are playing hockey the goal is finding a solution not just hurting people until you win.
Very disappointing.
Satire.
Hockey is globally perceived as the winter white privilege sport. Tennis is the summer counterpart though I’d argue tennis is less homogenous.
Which is weird because tennis has one of the lowest entry costs of any sport, provided your municipality provides public nets.
It’s the only sport I know of where the balls expire. Tennis lessons for my son was kinda expensive. Also he hated it after like three days lol
You can play with year old balls just fine, they’re just less bouncy. Which is actually what i recommend for new players since they tend to get a bit more control that way. I never had lessons. Just ran around for fun.
I forgot I wrote that and just saw “you can play with year old balls” in my notifications. lol.
Like that traitor Gretzky.
I say this from the US, only shake my president’s hand if you spit on it first.
Finally, somebody with balls.
I was disappointed in Jared Keeso trying to sanitize Gretzky in the last season of Shoresy. Either he wrote and filmed that season far in advance or he’s completely tone deaf to CDN hockey fans.
I feel a certain kind of way towards Canadians who are willing to take foreign money to promote separatist views that would be used to extract from them. I feel a certain kind of way towards Canadians who would work with our enemies against us and sowe pointless division between us
I wouldn’t shake Trump’s hand. It has been up someone’s asshole, and they didn’t consent.
