I remphasized to my wife that next time we go back to that shithole country, we have our US passports on us at all times. One look at our Nova Scotia drivers licenses in a traffic stop and we would likely be sent to some hole in Louisiana.

Not a bad idea.

Australia's 'biggest defence export' was meant for the US first, but Canada snuck past Trump

For months, senior officials have been discussing exporting Australia's world-leading JORN radar technology to the United States, but after Donald Trump's return to the White House, Canada saw an opportunity and leapt.

For months, senior officials have been discussing exporting Australia's world-leading radar technology JORN to the United States, but after Donald Trump's return to the White House, Canada saw an opportunity and leapt.

Overnight, new Canadian leader Mark Carney spoke to his counterpart, Anthony Albanese, then flew to his country's Arctic territory of Nunavut to announce a $6.5 billion high-tech Australian military purchase.

"Today, I'm announcing that our government will be working with our long-standing defence and security partner Australia to build a new, long-range, over-the-horizon military radar system," he said.

"[It] will enable Canada to detect and respond to both air and maritime threats over our Arctic both faster and from further away. It will most fundamentally keep all Canadians safe."

Following President Trump's repeated threats to annex Canada and Greenland, Ottawa is purchasing the Australian-developed technology known as the Jindalee Over-the-Horizon Radar (JORN) to build its new Arctic Over-the-Horizon Radar system.

Notice they said air and maritime so as to exclude ground attacks. They are clearly being careful with their words.
 
What would you guys put the odds of having a war with Canada? When Trump first starting saying we should annex Canada I thought he was just being an arse. But now I think he is serious. I really believe that he wants a big splash for his legacy.

I would say 35% we will go to war with Canada.

They would have to give their base some red meat. Wonder what that would be? I sure hope it isn’t like what Putin did to justify the second Chechen war.

I’ll put my sentiment like this, I had a spot picked out in inland British Columbia (i.e. in contact with realtors); I’m > 50% through an arduous professional licensing process and take an immigration language exam next week; a recruiter for the regional health authority has identified multiple employers willing to support my immigration application; $3k nonrefundable pot-committed. I’ve become very wary of where the true danger lies, and I’m in a region of the US I think is on the docket to get proper fucked by this admin.

Absolutely insane we have to think like this but I agree with you. If the sick bastard can figure out how to justify a war with Canada it’s game on. Only hope is our military tells the Orange shitgibbon to pound and or invade them himself.

Just can't see it happening. Now maybe he can get some eager militia types (redundant?) to cause violence against Canadians in the United States and perhaps attack Canadians in some border areas. Those idiot Proud Boys are always looking for a fight I hear. I just don't see a full scale military operation kicking off. Also fuck Donald Trump and every member of the MAGA cult for this shit even being a thing.

If the U.S. starts a war with Canada, at 66 years old, this old fart will defect and fight on the Canadian side.
 
It seems that the secret ingredient to help save Shenul Williams's small Pickering, Ont., condiment business was a healthy dash of Canadian patriotism.

With sales down, and fears that she may have to close shop, a posting on a "Buy Canadian" Reddit thread has significantly boosted orders, she said.

"I'm really blown away with the love and support from Canadians through these uncertain times," said an emotional Williams in an interview with CBC News. "I was worried that I was going to lose my business."


...

The response to Williams's products is indicative of the huge upsurge in consumer demand for Canadian products that has swept through Canada since U.S. President Donald Trump declared a 25 per cent tariff on imports, said Gary Sands, senior vice president of public policy and advocacy for the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers.

A 'permanent shift'​

"I've been with this organization 25 years in August, and I can tell you I've never seen anything like it," Sands said.

"I think this has been a permanent shift."

In Belleville, Ont., for example, the family-owned Sprague Foods soup company, with its red maple leaf displayed prominently its cans, has seen a boost in sales. Some local farmers as well are reporting spikes in sales.

According to the Canadian Federation Of Independent Business (CFIB), which conducted a recent poll that's yet to be published, 25 per cent of businesses reported taking steps to highlight their Canadian-made products.

And of those businesses, 50 per cent reported an increase in the demand for those Canadian-made products, said Michelle Auger, senior policy analyst with CFIB.

Back in the beginning of the first Trump administration, I bet a Trump fan $50 that Trump wouldn't meet with Kim Jong Un.

My reasoning was that it was inconceivable and stupid and nobody would actually bother to do it, when it has no upside for us and is plenty of downside.

It cost me $50, and taught me that Trump will do very stupid things if he thinks it will benefit him, consequences for others be damned.

I no longer bet against Trump to do something stupid and destructive.
