Like a typical fascist, trump makes it so that if you want to support him, you have to cut away all other loyalties until it’s only him that ur loyal to. Maga Canadians will soon be supporting the anschluss of Canada and US, some already are.
Ranked ballot voting would have been the best possible thing for Liberals, so many people would vote for the conservatives in last place that theyd never win, the only reason they do is because the two left leaning parties split the vote.
I feel like part of the reason Trudeau DIDN’T do election reform is because he thought he wouldn’t be elected again due to his increasing unpopularity. Or it could be that he felt it couldn’t get done with the government he had. Either way, he fucked up majorly in not doing election reform as he promised.
People talk a lot about immigration being his legacy but the failure of electoral reform will be his legacy to me. It was such a no-brainer and would guarantee the Liberals either a major voice in a centre-left coalition government or a kingmaker position from now until the end of time but they just decided to... not?
@@ngwoo obviously the Conservatives are well aware that if the voting system was fair they'd never win so they would never let a real voting reform happen under any circumstance
Of the two houses of Congress which is the more measured and functional. What's that? The Senate? Hmmm seems like it's doing something right. Also if Canada joined the US it would join as one state. Each province would be its own state.
@@hastyscorpion dude you got no idea what you’re talking about. First of all for every bill the house passes, they almost always die in the senate. The senate is always gridlocked and doesn’t do shit these days. Second, the point I’m making is that the system is illogical. Its a rigged system that’s massively tilted towards the conservatives just like the electoral college. Why should all these deep red states in the mid west that have like 500k population each get the same representation as a single blue state like California that has 39 million population. It’s completely in favor of republicans and not representative of the people whatsoever.
I mean part of the reason why Republicans are getting so volatile is because it's becoming increasingly difficult to win anything other than national elections. The current like 2 seat majority is really the best the Repubs could possibly do in the House due to the growth and progressive shift of urban areas. US senate is silly and arbitrary but urban areas are basically the only places in the US with real population growth, so adding the entirety of Canada, a country with a population that's only has 2 million more people than California and 82% of people live in urban areas would basically guarantee that liberals would control both chambers of Congress and then be able to sit around and still do nothing.
Yeah IDK bro Repubs kinda control all three houses RN and won a really strong majority. Maybe at a local level but at a state/country level Red-side kinda has it owned rn.
Yeah, I think you're more describing the flip-flop situation that's been happening, but this is not a reflection for what's actually happening at the moment in the US. Repub controls lower and upper congress with majority in senate and house of representatives. Obviously, they have the executive branch on lock, and lastly, Trump has appointed like 4 conservative leaning Supreme Court Justices in his last term, allowing for majority control in all areas of government. Beyond this, Trump has made and iterated again and again his campaign promises to dismantle parts of the executive government so that protected federal offices that were previously untouchable by the president would be based on appointment; obviously, this would get rid of many of the checks and balances that keep the US president from being a complete authority in his branch of government. It really means that the US is being set up to become far more centric and authoritarian based on our national presidential elections rather than it being balanced, which is pretty concerning.
Yeah I'd say that goes for most sane people living in different countries and seeing the shit that goes on in US. Only US mf's that have never stepped outside their own country could think it's actually a good place to live for anyone in the first world.
I think if the US takes Canada, the US should still identify any trips over the US/Canada border as international trips so NL will have to follow the normal process to go on his Disney trips.
The funniest bit is that if trump, by some miracle, did actually manage to turn canada into a state he'd be completely shooting himself in the foot. It'd basically be adding a second, slightly bigger, california in terms of house of representative seats and electoral college votes, which would make republican control of the house or presidential wins extremely difficult. You'd only get 2 senate seats though (because of course having canada and rhode island get the same representation makes sense) so less impact there, but with how razor thin the margins are that'd still make a difference.
The whole 2-senators-for-every-state makes a lot of sense - when we’re talking about a confederation of *fully* independent and sovereign entities. Americans thinking their 250 y/o constitution is still state-of-the-art is the real funniest bit.
@@TomJakobWEven contemporaries to the constitution being written (Madison especially) thought of the senate as just another institution meant to protect slavery/southern interests. It was always about power for tyrants.
@@jackzilla321 That'd be a really weird position to take considering the southern states had decently high populations and it was the tiny northeastern ones that benefitted.

obviously Canada gets 2 senators... Now representatives? (as in congressmen/women excluding senators) probably like 40. note: Canada is comparable to California in population so I'm assuming we dilute representatives when Canada joins the Union.

Don't worry as soon as he needs to deal with US healthcare I think he'll feel a surge of patriotism. That shit wouldn't last two years if they ever successfully annexed Canada.
NL is mostly joking because this is not a real threat. The U.S. would lose so many allies and it would mean the breakdown of NATO. It's a laughably improbable event.
Normally you'd be met with "We're just trying to have some fun here, no need to get all heavy", but considering he's the one that brought it up, yeah no you're completely right.
@@bogregz I feel like the threat against Canada is mostly a distraction from the much more real threat of Trump strong arming Greenland into being annexed.

Maybe I'm biased because I'm québecois but I think Québec is a little overcriticized by the rest of Canada even though the sovereignty shit is stupid. I feel like a lot of our influence on the federal level used to make sense and I feel like we lean politically not that much more right wing than Ontario. Maybe I'm just ill informed but it just feels that way. Ig it's just a result of the "us vs them" mentality so I can't really blame y'all. Just a shitty situation.
You could definitely make the argument that Ontario was left leaning even upto 3 years back, its definitely more conservative now. The whole Quebec slander seems silly when we have someone who puts bike lanes just to rip them out to save 5 seconds in traffic.
@@moshhk Yeah I mean, to my knowledge, every province has some huge issues. Alberta is pretty right wing and conservative, Québec is defined by its wish to be sovereign which can lead to bigotry and Ontario has a very conservative leaning government. All the lesser populated provinces aren't doing the best to my knowledge either overall. B.C. I don't know enough to say, they seem fine in terms of politics but like everybody, they're affected by the Canadian housing market sucking ass and the whole country turning more and more conservative as part of a broader worldwide reactionary movement as well as in reaction to Trudeau. Plus there's the treatment of First Nations. I just feel like everyone has their issues so it's weird to focus on Québec's flaws so much.
As someone from BC who just recently moved to Quebec, 100% this. The way people talk about Quebec has always made me feel super uncomfortable. Just a bunch of super unnecessary hate that honestly just works to perpetuate the divide it's making fun of in the first place. Even with mainland France, it feels like everyone has just decided that the French are the one case everyone has decided where it's okay to use an entire nationality/people group as the collective punching bag
I think people in Canada are already on edge with the trumps reelection, threat of tariffs, and now trudeaus resignation, but just the idea of annexation, even if completely impossible, is worrying people. Trump will probably find a new "thing to get mad at for one month" and move on, but unfortunately, it's hard to know considering how sporadic that senile old man can be. Also, horrible take from NL, even if he is just doing a bit. Nothing ever happens.
@@aenpien18%. Not that high. It's about the same climate skeptics. The Venn diagram of those two groups looks like Elon Musk's eye after his last dose of Ketamine.

Obviously we’d give you guys 6 states and 12 senate seats.
Don't worry as soon as he needs to deal with US healthcare I think he'll feel a surge of patriotism. That shit wouldn't last two years if they ever successfully annexed Canada.
NL is mostly joking because this is not a real threat. The U.S. would lose so many allies and it would mean the breakdown of NATO. It's a laughably improbable event.
Normally you'd be met with "We're just trying to have some fun here, no need to get all heavy", but considering he's the one that brought it up, yeah no you're completely right.
@@bogregz I feel like the threat against Canada is mostly a distraction from the much more real threat of Trump strong arming Greenland into being annexed.
Wait till he hears that we might take military action to take Greenland.
Eh. That was more of a bait question by the press. Trump ain't gonna storm the beaches. He'll just sanction Denmark to force their independence and then negotiate with Egede.
The obvious solution is for Canada to annex Greenland first
@aerostorm_ I know it's a 0.00001% chance, but him essentially saying "It's possible" when asked if he would use economic or military pressure is LUNACY.
@@Maelthorn1337 no it's not, as commander in chief, preemptively taking it off the table hurts your bargaining chips when you are trying to win for your nation.

I like my healthcare, idk if i want anything to do with the us system
Maybe I'm biased because I'm québecois but I think Québec is a little overcriticized by the rest of Canada even though the sovereignty shit is stupid. I feel like a lot of our influence on the federal level used to make sense and I feel like we lean politically not that much more right wing than Ontario. Maybe I'm just ill informed but it just feels that way. Ig it's just a result of the "us vs them" mentality so I can't really blame y'all. Just a shitty situation.
You could definitely make the argument that Ontario was left leaning even upto 3 years back, its definitely more conservative now. The whole Quebec slander seems silly when we have someone who puts bike lanes just to rip them out to save 5 seconds in traffic.
@@moshhk Yeah I mean, to my knowledge, every province has some huge issues. Alberta is pretty right wing and conservative, Québec is defined by its wish to be sovereign which can lead to bigotry and Ontario has a very conservative leaning government. All the lesser populated provinces aren't doing the best to my knowledge either overall. B.C. I don't know enough to say, they seem fine in terms of politics but like everybody, they're affected by the Canadian housing market sucking ass and the whole country turning more and more conservative as part of a broader worldwide reactionary movement as well as in reaction to Trudeau. Plus there's the treatment of First Nations. I just feel like everyone has their issues so it's weird to focus on Québec's flaws so much.
Quebec is 100% over-criticized by the ROC. People are just angry that they live in provinces that don't prioritize the people who live there.
As someone from BC who just recently moved to Quebec, 100% this. The way people talk about Quebec has always made me feel super uncomfortable. Just a bunch of super unnecessary hate that honestly just works to perpetuate the divide it's making fun of in the first place.
Even with mainland France, it feels like everyone has just decided that the French are the one case everyone has decided where it's okay to use an entire nationality/people group as the collective punching bag
The thing that keeps me locked in about Quebec is that ur never like "oh ur Canadian? What part" and THEN you find out they're from Quebec.
I mean, bro just wants our water

I think he will take Greenland, Iceland and Germany first to secure those military bases. It's important to protect those bases.

If we do get annexed, I'm going to be giggling like a schoolgirl when the Americans have to deal with the Quebecois
I think people in Canada are already on edge with the trumps reelection, threat of tariffs, and now trudeaus resignation, but just the idea of annexation, even if completely impossible, is worrying people. Trump will probably find a new "thing to get mad at for one month" and move on, but unfortunately, it's hard to know considering how sporadic that senile old man can be. Also, horrible take from NL, even if he is just doing a bit. Nothing ever happens.
it doesn't exactly feel good as a Canadian minority seeing Americans joke/talk seriously about an armed invasion that would kill a fuckton of people
Trudeaus resignation is incredibly popular in Canada actually.
You're underestimating how many Canadians would want to join the US
@@aenpien A lot of em would want the gun rights lol
@@aenpien18%. Not that high. It's about the same climate skeptics. The Venn diagram of those two groups looks like Elon Musk's eye after his last dose of Ketamine.
to be fair if canada became a state, it would probably have to split into multiple states like California almost did i wanna say about a decade ago
America is literally doing the move for him.
Finally found an NL take I don't agree with

Canadians when they realize they have to learn how to speak American:
Get ready to cook steak buddy
Fahrenheit has higher resolution, think about it…
So, the thing is that… there *is* no Republican part of Canada. When asked who they would support in an American presidential election, Alberta polls well left of California. Americans really, really do not understand how different we are from
them.
4 minutes ago I’m cooked
Grouping Alberta with BC would be a a Great Depression level of aura loss for BC (I’m from Alberta I can say this)
steak and eggs is huge gainz
Hearing NL talk about buck a beer is making me feel weird
You would only get two senators. Same as every other US state.
Canadians will totally love medical bankruptcy.
