Canada believes Donald Trump is no longer interested in turning it into the 51st state, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday.
Asked by CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on the sidelines of the NATO meeting in the Netherlands whether Trump is still saying he wants to annex Canada, Carney replied, “No, he is not.”
“He admires Canada,” Carney told Amanpour. “I think it’s fair to say, maybe for a period of time (he) coveted Canada.”

It’s almost like it was Musk’s grandfathers plan to annex Canada and Greenland… (it was, Joshua Haldeman and his Technocracy)
Trump got a shiny new toy…
I don’t believe Trump, nor Carney.
His first move was basically applied the main point of the conservative party’s program. He uses the “right to defend” Israël’s talking point, defended US’s stike on Iran, introduced a conservative wet-dream bill on data control and access, and he never said a single word about environnement. Yet, all he get’s is praises. Seriously fuck Carney. All over the world, the Left is basically dead. Almost like if people believe that the solution to 40 years of right wing policies is far-right policies. Whatba stupid time to be alive.
It’s a little stupid to bring this up. You have to treat the Trump administration like toddlers, ie. when they ask for something, you just have to be firm, ignore it, and wait for it to go away. Raising the topic again will just make your toddler throw another tantrum.
I get that he was asked this by a member of the media, but nobody should be talking about this. You just have to change the topic - again, exactly the same way you deal with toddlers.
I’m not doing that.
Staying quiet because it will make daddy angry to talk about it is still abuse.
Toddlers also have to learn object permanence and that the world will still talk about toys, even if they don’t have any. People will bring the annexation threats up, because it was top of mind and, quite frankly, scary for us for a few months.
And we’re allowed to do that.
If Trump can be laughed at by literally the entire UN in 2018, he can withstand some talk of what he himself brought about.
Despite the jokes and fitting comparisons, Donald Trump is not a child, he is an adult, and must (not should) face the ramifications of his words and actions.
Okay, fair point. What I mean is, don’t bring it up unless the toddler starts talking about it again. Stupid of CNN to bring it up again for no reason.
Yeah, I get your meaning. I forgot to acknowledge that.
i think its less about not saying anything and more like not taking it fucking seriously.
because its not. its childish and should be treated as such.
Official presidential statements are always deadly serious.
thats why using it to act like a teenage bully should not be taken seriously. hes just doing his schtick to confuse and upset everyone.
Fuck fascists and fuck placating them.
Yep.
Trump literally got distracted and forgot about it.
Even better, he created the distractions himself.
… What a fucking madman.
Went from ‘I’m gonna invade and annex Canada, and Greenland!’ to… ‘My primary military ally in the most unstable and dangerous geopolitical situation in at least a quarter century doesn’t know what the FUCK he’s doing!’…
Am I losing track of time or was that… less than two months, less than one?
Like two parents having a talk about their toddler during a long car journey:
I will review it in 10 years. The fascist us are never to be trusted.
That probably means the tanks start rolling in tomorrow.
We’re not dealing with an evil genius here.
The toddler got distracted by some other shiny object.
Why should the Pacific Ocean be named “the Pacific Ocean” when it could be “the American Ocean”?
And also the Atlantic!
Then Carney is naive to the point of being a possible-liability, strategically…
Trump fundamentally/ideologically NEEDS the woke EU broken/destroyed, & only between a Putin + Trump pincer can that be accomplished.
Using Alaska & Greenland to sever ALL Canada’s trade, allows Trump to then become king of the entire continent, & then the Putin+Trump pincer can destroy the EU,
… leaving Putin & Trump the only remaining “kings” of the West.
THAT is the unconscious-goal that will be controlling our futures ( given that it has the civil-authority to enforce its will on the world, to the US military’s extent ).
Nevermind the scrambledness of Trump’s conscious “strategy”, pay attention instead to the underlying, UNconscious strategy, & then you will see what’s really going to be ruling this world…
Unconscious-strategy e.g: Hamas had no conscious strategy in attacking Israel that Oct day ( it was a tactic without strategy ), but they definitely had an unconscious strategy:
to prove, through Israel’s rampaging genociding of Palestine, that Muslims have to not care at all what “deterrent” that Israel has, only ANNIHILATION of Israel can be tolerated…
Anddd… Israel took the bait.
Hook, line, sinker, even the fishing-rod they ate…
Should be ?within a year of 2028? … when Israel gets annihilated.
( the annihilation of Israel predicted in the Christian bible, Matt 24, iirc, refers to this specific event, btw: its “footprint” in humankind’s unconscious is big, same as the rest of the species-extinction events are, or near-extinction, if some fraction of humankind survives this century… )
Anyways, that’s how unconscious mind’s strategy works: MAKE the myth it is identifying-with, be forced into enactment, because G-D will ( of course… ) obey our “entitlement”, and remove all accountability or responsibility from us, “the chosen”!
( yeah, I’m bitter & cynical, now: I’m old )
All the apocalyptic-“Christians” are unconsciously working to make their unconscious-myth become the world’s ONLY frame…
Same with all, of all cultures!
We’re no different from them, in that…
( the brilliant psychological-insight in the Christian bible, using the term “behemoth”, or herd-beast, to identify our unconscious-mind’s herdbeast-nature … how many people admit, nowadays, that that’s fundamental in human-nature?
yet the evidence is all-pervading! “fads”, “fashion”, “mobs”/stampeding, etc… we make ourselves incompetent when we ignore evidence’s Truth… ).
Anyways, I’ve predicted ( couple months ago? ) that there’d be a kind of Putin/Trump/Netanyahu alliance, as their values are fundamentally the same, & now Trump’s interfering in Israel’s internal affairs to prevent any prosecution of Netanyahu…
yeah, it’s all fitting into a coherent image, more & more…
Remember the different-scale of the unconscious-progression, though:
the back-and-forth, the friends-enemies-friends at the personal level is just local-turbulence.
The real world-shaping is happening at a deeper, more-fundamental, level.
Trump & Musk are going to be collaborating, later, in destroying the viability of all “others” ( for their definition of “others” )… just wait a few years…
Same with Trump & Putin…
etc…
You will see, when WW3 begins, in the early 2030’s, only ?4? major alliances left, on the planet.
Globalization, but taken to the fatal degree ( due to deranged “values” that humankind “couldn’t afford” to correct, in the past, now having the technology to extinguish our species, completely, if its ego doesn’t get to be “god” ).
Watch, through the next few years, as humankind becomes sooo polarized, that our world gets turned into a kind of cartoon of hell.
As-in cartoon-evil leaders ruling their territories, & cartoon others ( either hapless, or overwhelmed, or clean but “good is not soft” tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/…/GoodIsNotSoft for that concept ) competing against them…
Most of the world is too corruption/ineducation entrenched for it to be able to choose adapting/evolution, so … most of this world’s population will be gone ( unless all of it’ll be gone, the only real alternative ) by the end of this century…
Status Quo is just a mirage, now.
The Great Filter, when the ideological-toddler world-species has full world-ecology-butchering capability, & facti
