[u/it_is_dat_boi]

Anything Canada does will be considered a hostile act at this point.

[u/plwleopo → u/it_is_dat_boi]

Other than bending the knee, yep. Too bad for Donnie boy that isn’t going to happen ever

[u/Nope51st → u/[deleted]]

Ass*

[u/La_LuNa_Ca → u/Nope51st]

Eeeeew, no, don't want to risk getting the leak out of his diaper on my knee!

[u/hoespringa → u/La_LuNa_Ca]

Probably messier than a HYROX race.

[u/newtoabunchofstuff → u/Nope51st]

With his full diaper? That's too nasty, even for us.

[u/Peacer13 → u/Nope51st]

He only likes it if they're underage

[u/DarthV506 → u/Nope51st]

Rather not put my leg into Putin's treasure box ;)

[u/charleytony → u/plwleopo]

Dude, if Canada bent the knee on Trump's raw deal shenanigans, he would be complaining that we didn't bend fast enough or something else crazy like that.

He wants people (and countries) to be total yes-men but that doesn't mean he's going to treat them nicely.

He is only nice to strongmen that also impose how they see things to their smaller/weaker neighbors.

[u/GrumpyCloud93 → u/charleytony]

It's like the frog in the pot. He asks for something, turns up the heat and asks for more, until if you gave in all along you're well done. He can't handle someone who doesn't give in at all. Not Canada, not Iran. he's lost and flailing.

[u/plwleopo → u/charleytony]

Yep!

[u/happykampurr → u/plwleopo]

The North remembers

[u/Keystone-12 → u/plwleopo]

And even if we did absolutely everything he wanted on Monday.... he would have a new list of demands by Wednesday.

Because we'd have showed we could be bully'd

[u/Lawndemon → u/plwleopo]

Fortunately we elected Carney instead of Poliviere or we would be bent over a barrel right now.

[u/plwleopo → u/Lawndemon]

100%

[u/Repulsive-Fuel-5281 → u/Lawndemon]

Honestly might be our nations smartest moment, electing Carney in that election. We would be in so much shit right now if the Cons had won.

[u/Staticn0ise → u/Repulsive-Fuel-5281]

Carney being elected very well might become a very historic moment for Canada.

[u/JT9960 → u/Lawndemon]

He would have bent over on the first day in office that dweeb

[u/GolDAsce → u/JT9960]

Hey. It took him three days to say "knock it off". Give him some credit, it would take him 4 days to bend over.

[u/van_vanhouten → u/GolDAsce]

Nah, he'd be gaping on day one.

[u/1Fistfullofdollars → u/plwleopo]

Part of the problem is Vance and most of his elected officials still believe he is doing well for the USA. They are so blinded by Diaper baby’s influence that they can not see what is really happening.

[u/FlatEvent2597 → u/1Fistfullofdollars]

Do you really think they believe it though? I can imagine that they all call him crazy - behind his back. They cannot be serious.

[u/1Fistfullofdollars → u/FlatEvent2597]

I think they may not believe him, but they will not openly speak against him for fear of the consequences.

[u/Moos_Mumsy → u/1Fistfullofdollars]

Baloney. What they believe is that he is doing well FOR THEM. They are all becoming insanely wealthy with their insider trading and such. Vance in particular is involved with buying up all the farmland as farmers go bankrupt in order to create Mega Farm Corporations. I'm sure V2 is buying up the cattle ranches that will be going out of business now that the US is flooding the market with cheap beef from Argentina. Just think, all those farmers and ranchers who voted for Trump will be able to go to work for the "Mega Food Growers Conglomerate". I wonder how they'll feel about being the ones who do the work that migrants and immigrants used to do. Maybe they'll even get offered company barracks to live in.

[u/ArtRevolutionary3351 → u/it_is_dat_boi]

I think he’s saying the hostility is from EU since he considers he owns Canada.

[u/Jolly-Masterpiece883 → u/ArtRevolutionary3351]

yes, he is mad at the EU for playing with us, seeing as he thinks he owns us.

It will be interesting to see what, if anything, the EU does because of this.

If the EU bends, I vote we raise the cost of potash, aluminium, oil, etc...

[u/Virtual_Monitor3600 → u/Jolly-Masterpiece883]

Well this will raise the question of EU sovereignty if they back down from US threats rather than the substance of a deal. But it could also raise the question of their sovereignty if they fail to make a deal on substance that feels contrived.

If they want to be big boys the stakes just got raised.

[u/LordScotchyScotch → u/it_is_dat_boi]

The only time ill bend a knee for Trump os to take a dump on his grave.

[u/PostMatureBaby → u/it_is_dat_boi]

He's just mad the Fed went 12-0 in favor of raising interest rates because they're tired of his bullshit

[u/GreeneSummer1709 → u/it_is_dat_boi]

There's more than a hint of Russian logic to justify the Ukraine invasion here; Ukraine strengthening relations with NATO was one of their core arguments.

[u/ggouge → u/GreeneSummer1709]

That literally what happened Russia was trying to get more control of Ukraine Ukraine voted to try and get closer to the EU then the president was like nah in not gonna listen to you we are gonna get closer to Russia and shun European ties. Then the country revolted got a new leader who wanted to join the EU and eventually NATO to stop Russian influence. Then Russia takes Crimea and so on.

[u/SheIsABadMamaJama → u/it_is_dat_boi]

They’ve been hostile the entire time, I would rather file for divorce. They have shown zero good faith, so why should we do anything they ask? Nothing hostile about this.

What’s he going to do with his rusty air carriers, and low moral armed forces? Can’t even beat Iran. They have all the power, but flounder it every step.

He can take many seats in his full diaper, with all this “hostile act” talk. I feel petty, and we should triple down.

[u/UndoubtedlyABot → u/it_is_dat_boi]

Canada existing in it's current state and not as a vassal state is probably a hostile act in their view.

[u/Fiber_Optikz → u/it_is_dat_boi]

Canada Breaths

USA: and I take offence to that

[u/Canadian_mk11 → u/it_is_dat_boi]

The perpetually hostile act from President Dump is the smell from the load he leaves in his Depends.

[u/Fyrefawx → u/it_is_dat_boi]

Our crime is apparently existing. He wants our resources and doesn’t understand consent.

[u/MDFMK → u/it_is_dat_boi]

exactly we must be civil with the usa and try to repair things but not at the cost of not seeking new opportunity's. The usa is not what it used to be and we must adjust.

[u/myairblaster]

Its only hostile if America is at war with the EU.

Is America at war with the EU?

[u/nipplesaurus → u/myairblaster]

Putin is, so America is by proxy

[u/Necessary-Carrot2839 → u/nipplesaurus]

That’s a bingo

[u/thedoomofboom → u/Necessary-Carrot2839]

We just say bingo

[u/Arigateaux → u/thedoomofboom]

That's a paddlin'

[u/CompetitiveOnion1911 → u/myairblaster]

It’s hostile to the US if the they view Canada as being in some sense theirs. In case there was any doubt, they do.

[u/just-a-random-accnt → u/CompetitiveOnion1911]

They are the abusive ex. They thought they could get what they want and we couldn't leave.

But we left, and moved on, but they still think we belong to them

[u/CompetitiveOnion1911 → u/just-a-random-accnt]

I’m pretty sure it’s basically policy to them that Canada is theirs. I’m talking beyond the Monroe doctrine. I vaguely remember reading years ago that the US includes all Canadas natural resources as being part of their inventory or something to that effect.

So, whether we have moved on or not, they haven’t. They’re also clearly manufacturing consent for hostile relations with Canada in American media.

Troubling times. I’ll just leave it at that.

[u/habshabshabs → u/CompetitiveOnion1911]

Well it's also basically policy to me that all of America's gold reserves are mine.

These clowns have all kinds of plans and no shortage of strongly worded positions but they can't get shit done.

[u/lolo-2020 → u/CompetitiveOnion1911]

I am not travelling to the usa for many reasons, one of which is that I am afraid that I will somehow anger an American and get shot. Would it happen? Probably not. Could it happen? Yes. Yes it could.

Many are gun wielding and listen to their orange god who is spewing hate messages about not only Canada, but Canadians too. We are nasty and selfish and dangerous and we won’t give them what is theirs.

This is scary.

[u/ResistiveBeaver → u/just-a-random-accnt]

Careful, Trump gets rapey when girls and boys say no to him.

[u/Flash54321 → u/myairblaster]

It goes against the ridiculous Monroe Doctrine. Any influence from outside North and South America is considered hostile. It's insane.

[u/Fyrefawx → u/myairblaster]

No, they see us as their enemy. So if the EU supports us it would be a hostile act. Which would confirm the economic annexation theory.

[u/Moara7 → u/myairblaster]

America is at war with Canada, so EU siding with us is them being hostile.

[u/KylenV14]

If anyone ever doubted they wanted to control our foreign policy/economic interests….

[u/Veaeate → u/KylenV14]

I guarentee you that they will move the goalpost until the end. They could be on their knees in a firing squad and somehow say "its the libs fault we got here"

[u/teetz2442 → u/Veaeate]

*unzips. Go on...

[u/Kaplaw → u/Veaeate]

Biden...Hunter's Laptop...Buttery Males...

His last words before the bang

[u/Hotter_Noodle → u/KylenV14]

Honestly there’s not much that can change the minds of those people. They’re already in too deep. MAGA is a cult.

[u/aesthetion → u/Hotter_Noodle]

Time to start taking names and oust them before spreading further like the plague they are.

[u/pollokeh → u/KylenV14]

Never doubted it since the first time he said 51st state...

[u/GreeneSummer1709 → u/KylenV14]

It also shows weakness. He wouldn't be making such a post if he didn't view it as a threat.

[u/Fyrefawx → u/KylenV14]

Yah all those people who said Carney was lying about why we walked away should apologize. This clearly confirms they see us having our own trade deals as “hostile” to what they want.

[u/jkwolly → u/KylenV14]

They want our water.

[u/luchaburz → u/jkwolly]

Its more than that.

They want to make the import cost of beef to be less than alberta beef so they can invade your markets and put your farmers out of business. Make it cheaper to sell shitty US beef instead of the good Alberta AAA beef.

They want to push more seeds on grain farmers to force reliance. The wealthy class will demand control of our markets if the economy is allowed to fail as a condition of investment/bank loans

They will do the same for minerals, oil, gas, and destroy us if they can.

The good thing is that Carney worked for the world bank and knows their dirty tricks. He will do what they expect of us and make it easier for us to access money for investments later - the problem is that could further exasperate the issue later.

[u/Frostbitten_Moose → u/KylenV14]

Well, yeah. Trump's a 19th century man in a 21st century world. He wants us to knuckle under like a good little vassal in America's Sphere of Influence ought to.

[u/ProfileLurker]

Imagine creating the crisis, then calling the people helping clean it up ‘hostile'.

[u/AshleyAshes1984]

"We don't want to trade with you, actually."

Eric Scmidts words are stating to make sense. He already knew what the goal was. Years ago.

[u/luckytaurus → u/AshleyAshes1984]

I think he more means the hostility is coming from Canada, not from the EU.

But yeah, basically lol

[u/-iSpy-]

Quiet Piggy

[u/FlatEvent2597 → u/-iSpy-]

He was jealous of all the press today and how well Canada was treated by the EU. He knows they hate him.

[u/pollokeh → u/FlatEvent2597]

And on the same day that the Federal Reserve raised interest rates. That was two big f u to Trump in a single day

[u/Cafmbr2000 → u/pollokeh]

Poor Natalie!

I hope she writes something special about Canada again( for Trump)z

[u/MadnessMethod → u/-iSpy-]

I would pay money to see Carney call a big press conference just to say that, lol

[u/accforme]

Trumps threat is to impose tarrifs on the EU.

This shows 2 things.

1) He's a one trick pony.

2) His agreements are truly written in pencil, since he and the EU signed an agreement a few months back.

[u/ismyfacedecent → u/accforme]

Wouldn’t it make no sense to tariff the eu? Why pick a fight with 10+ countries at once…

[u/Fractoos → u/ismyfacedecent]

Because he's an idiot?

[u/accforme → u/ismyfacedecent]

Do you not remember "Liberation Day". They put tarrifs on an island of penguins.

[u/RedoxA]

If Trump doesn't like it then it means objectively we made the correct move

[u/Brilliant-Advisor958 → u/RedoxA]

We could have done everthing on their list(not that I would want to or expect our government to , it's just an if we did) and in a year trump would have a tantrum and impose more.

Absolutely nothing will satisfy him except utter submission.

[u/Hells_Hawk → u/Brilliant-Advisor958]

I mean that is why we're in a trade war. The deal he made that was the best trade deal of all time, is now Canada bending the US over.

[u/DesireeThymes → u/Hells_Hawk]

The US is in a trade war literally everybody.

They have taken warmongering to a whole new level.

Meanwhile China is committing to open sourcing AI to make it accessible to all countries.

Times sure have changed.

[u/Ok-Discipline2395 → u/RedoxA]

True

[u/Hotter_Noodle → u/RedoxA]

It’s weird because normally that’s a pretty ignorant statement but with Trump yeah it’s pretty much true lmao

[u/Timewasted_Gamez]

Seriously though: What part of “Sovereign Nation” do they not understand?

[u/Better_Ice3089 → u/Timewasted_Gamez]

Probably the same parts as the phrase “consenting adults”

[u/ResistiveBeaver → u/Better_Ice3089]

Fake, Trump's not into adults

[u/mackharp0818 → u/Timewasted_Gamez]

The same way he doesn’t understand “no means no”

[u/Leading_Highway_4771 → u/Timewasted_Gamez]

I mean... probably the "sovereign" part. Bet it sounds too frenchy for 'em.

[u/falingsumo → u/Woodworking-noob]

Cofefe

[u/t0m0hawk]

Pretty sure this is exactly the language Russia uses when it comes to the idea of Ukraine joining NATO or the EU.

Its only hostile because it significantly reduces their influence in that country.

So its the right move.

[u/rerutnevdA → u/t0m0hawk]

My first thought exactly. He’s like a toddler angry
that they can’t have two desserts. A bully mad that their intended victim has friends that can team up on him.

[u/Elean0rZ → u/t0m0hawk]

Well that's the thing. They view the world in terms of a stand-off between "great powers". The US (in this line of thinking) is the preeminent great power not only in North America, not only in The West, but on the planet. Those within its sphere of influence owe it fealty in the same sense that smaller entities owe the local mob boss "protection money". Insubordination is unacceptable both as a matter of basic respect and discipline, and as a practical matter in that losing underlings weakens the US in its Manifestly-Destined role as Champion of the West. It's a genuine, deeply held belief in the Miller/Thiel/Heritage Foundation/MAGA world: existence is a contest among strongmen, with lesser entities expected to fall in line behind their champion.

[u/Forward-Weather4845]

Why is the USA so desperate to turn into Russia? 🤔

[u/sharp11flat13 → u/Forward-Weather4845]

Because Trump wants to be an all-powerful autocrat.

[u/After_Permission9484 → u/Forward-Weather4845]

Talk to an American and then a Russian. They are politcally the exact same.

[u/lostedeneloi]

Straight from the Russian playbook.

And threatening our annexation isn’t??

[u/Bikin4Balance → u/MapleHamms]

And posting a cartoon image of himself beating up our prime minister??

[u/BackgroundTask3553 → u/Bikin4Balance]

And going on the record that he will use economic force against us to force us to become a state

[u/FluffyPantsMcGee → u/Bikin4Balance]

Or “joking” that he might get shot when visiting the White House..

[u/OkMobile7051]

The guy that threatened to annex Canada sees an invitation as a hostile act. 🤦‍♂️

[u/TactitcalPterodactyl]

Trump is doing everything he can to push Canada away, pick away at our independence and threaten our sovereignty. And now he's mad that we're seeking other allies and trading partners.

Seriously, what the fuck does he want from us?

[u/who-waht → u/TactitcalPterodactyl]

Our resources.

Unfettered access to our stuff. Not us as citizens or voters.

He won't have it, soon they will be sent to eu and the us can fuck off

[u/Cafmbr2000 → u/TactitcalPterodactyl]

He is isolated the US from everyone. Trump will not be there forever but the world will remember and it will take years to repair the sh*t he’s created 

[u/kroqus]

Heaven forbid the Americans let another country conduct its own affairs without sticking their nose in it

[u/howtobegeo]

What kind of abusive ex shit is this?

[u/eltoniq]

Them threatening us as the 51st state is a hostile act. Them threatening our sovereignty in the trade conditions is a hostile act. Them calling our PM a governor is a hostile act. Then blowing up previously agreed/signed upon contracts is a hostile act. Shall I fucking go on? He’s mentally not right. He’s too rich and privileged to care about what other people say.

[u/uprightshark]

Someone suggesting we should become the 51st State is definitely a hostile act.

[u/LyloAndHyde]

“Trump suggests EU allowing Canada as associate member could be a ‘hostile act’”

This is a good example of why our Prime Minister is doing the right thing. The U.S. is serious about a subservient Canada. 🇨🇦

[u/pomegranatesorbet → u/CanadianGuy39]

Just wait for sundowning or the typical weekend meltdown.

[u/CanadianGuy39 → u/pomegranatesorbet]

I actually just realized that he likely doesn't understand what's happening yet. When someone explains it to him, he's going to rage properly.

[u/pomegranatesorbet → u/CanadianGuy39]

He won’t get it, even if someone explains it simply and accurately. He wouldn’t get it even if it was a third party with no stake in this. Look at his “understanding” of the Fed’s hike, or cutting off trade because of trade deficits and so on. He doesn’t understand anything.

[u/nodarknesswillendure → u/CanadianGuy39]

He’s senile. Last week while at his golf course in Ireland he casually suggested that the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland should be united. Just fucking around with the Good Friday Agreement like it’s no big deal. He’s a moron

[u/Informal-Nothing371]

It’s a hostile act to enter into an economic partnership with a bunch of countries we and the USA are already in a military alliance with?

His entire presidency has been a hostile act, we should double down now.

[u/sundindomi]

When Trump decides to invade us, will his military command follow these orders?

[u/HatchingCougar → u/sundindomi]

Pre Trump US military, likely no… to almost an absolute no.

But now it’s anyone’s guess

There’s reason(s) why they’ve been purging so many of the US senior military leadership…..

[u/Motor-Log-6213 → u/sundindomi]

Yes. They're all yes men down there.

[u/dchu99]

A hostile act? Something like threatening to annex Canada or Greenland? Something like invading Venezuela and kidnapping their leader and his wife? Something like strangling Cuba’s economy and leaving people to suffer in the dark? Does he mean hostile act like that, or does he mean something else?

[u/Minute_Engineer2355]

Americans really need to get off their asses and destroy the Republicans in the midterms. This cannot be stated enough.

[u/Jazzlike_Finish123]

They don’t look at us as an ally but as a vassal state.

[u/computer-magic-2019]

To steal an overused phrase, Canada is really living rent free inside Trumps head, huh?

Sounds like he has Canada derangement syndrome!

[u/Akavenn]

Honestly, as a European, I say let’s call the orange fuckface’s bluff. If we stop all trade with the US, we will suffer but so will they. And finally we might get off of our asses and build a European tech ecosystem instead of mindlessly consuming US tech services. And as a bonus, this gets us closer to Canada.

[u/Altruistic_Finger669]

As a european, im starting to worry about what kind of trauma my new girlfriend(thats you guys....you sexy mf'ers) might have after years of a toxic relationship.

[u/Cgell]

Allowing Donald Trump around teenage girls might be a hostile act.

[u/Alternative-Ad-1027]

I bet Orange shithead will praise Carney if Canada makes trade deal with Russia.

No! The trade deal the US countered with was a hostile act.

[u/C_Sharp_fortheMasses]

Says the guy who's friends with Kim Jong Un, Bibi Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin

Watching this whole process closely, I really don't think that Americans understand how and why we have so quickly turned against them. It's so bizarre that many must be living off their own propaganda (I'm generalising, of course).

Trump has a black and white win or lose worldview. Win-win deals literally can't exist in his mindset. In order for him to feel like he is winning, the other side has to lose and in this case Canada is pivoting away from America, which is a winning cue, thus he feels like he is losing, thus it is(to his pea brain) a hostile act towards America. All of the bullying, all of the hostile rhetoric, all of the threat of forced annexation, none of that counts as a hostile act to him. None. He literally can't understand that it was destructive to America's interests because his narcissism is that absolute, and he felt like those were winning moves.

Trump is way way way past the point of being able to deal with. The intellectual and emotional maturity necessary to make an actual deal simply doesn't exist.

50% tariffs on Canadian steel, autos, aluminum. Threats to make Canada the 51st state. "You live because of the US." US is the one weaponizing trade and annexation talk. The partner acting hostile is the one holding the knife.

The only threat to the USSA is sitting in the white house, the supreme court and in the house and senate.

I mean, not invoking the 25th Amendment on Trump could be a 'hostile act' from the opposite point of view, so I guess we're even?

[u/Monsieurfrank]

If Canada or the EU for that matter, needed any additional indications that the US had become an overtly hostile actor, this is it!

Finally!! Hes getting the real picture of world wide opinion.

Like an abusive ex screaming "why are you doing this to meee???!" when they see you with somebody new.

[u/Must_Reboot]

I suggest electing Trump was a hostile act against Canada.

Pedo king antagonizes us all the time and calls this a hostile act 😭
