    South Korea offers Canada weapons, Trump declares emergency, delays elections. US shifts to war footing—aggression looms. A way out exists, but can democracy prevail?

    The northern border never needed further securing until that idiot made it up. You fell for it. Congratulations. 

    You are living in fantasy land. Are you even aware what the biggest risk is at that border? Don’t even need to discuss the future of year round arctic shipping with china. Are you aware that it can not be protected by line of sight satellites? Can not be protected by most of the US Navy ships? Are you aware that Russia is dominating recent defense logistics,  in the arctic?

    have y’all for even a second, considered what Greenland and your country have in common? Or is it just easier to blame the evil orange man? 


    Unfucking believable.

    I don't give a fuck what we have in common with Greenland. I live in a free and sovereign country. I'm not interested in yours and Trump's excuses to try and take that away.

    You are siding with imperialist fascists, great look.

    And we're the dicks for not being "polite".
    So you're saying you DON'T want to be our "cherished 51st state"?  That makes no sense.  Why don't you want Trump to be your president?  Why do you care about your culture and freedom?  All I want is to say that Rush is an American band.  
    That's okay, but you can have The Tragically Hip of my cold dead body. 
    You guys really do dig that band.  I need to give them a shot.  That's how we feel about the good ole Grateful Dead.

    Was wondering why a helicopter was doing circles over the neighbourhood a couple nights ago. Initially thought it was the ORNGE air ambulance going in for an emergency landing at a hospital down the street but then it started circling and it turns out my supposition that a bordering police service sent their helicopter to assist.

    2 of the 3 suspects are charged with breaching release orders, I would have assumed that now they’ll be held in custody until trial but I’m not confident in that outcome these days.

    You’re being the putting us all in with him. And ignoring your defense responsibilities.
    More BS.

    Where did I say you're all with him?

    That's 2-ply bud.

    I was trying to have a rational discussion about what’s likely behind the problems trump has created. That was met with a barrage of f words.

    Russia has been investing in the arctic. There is reason trump is after Greenland also. Drop more f bombs at me. Belittle facts that I am presenting. Scream at all the Americans on this forum, because perhaps there are zero trump voters who post here.


    Anyone care to learn a thing about developing problems in the arctic, invest twenty minutes with this doc. Wendover does good work, and anyone who knows Sam, knows he is a real conservative who plays fast and loose with the facts (/s) while building up a respectable subscriber base.

    There is no line of sight to defense satellites from the arctic. The majority of US Naval ships are unable to navigate there.

    I think you might be misinterpreting or taking the criticism of America personal. It seems to have started when someone said the US is a shitshow. I didn’t read that as the people, but what the country is doing - destroying alliances, allowing an unelected billionaire oligarch fire hundreds of thousands of people, gutting the VA and education systems, the list goes on. I can only speak from my perspective but my issue isn’t with Americans, it’s with America. Unfortunately when the leader of the country does what he is doing, it represents the country as a whole. The same can be said for Russia. Putin is an asshole, Russia a shitshow but I’m sure there are lots of great people there who don’t agree with his actions.

    what say you canada?

    A delegation of a dozen South Korean defence industry and government officials visited Ottawa on March 5 and March 6, with proposals to provide the Canadian Forces with a variety of new equipment, including howitzers, training aircraft, rocket launchers and submarines.

    The pitch included promises of significant benefits for Canadian industry as well as a secure supply chain.

    Maintenance facilities would be established in Canada, and unlike with U.S. weapon systems, the South Koreans.. 1/2would provide Canada with total access to the onboard technology. In addition, Hanwha has already been signing alliances with Canadian firms for potential work on the proposal.

    Have you or anyone here spent one minute complaining about Muslim atrocities and deaths in Syria or china or elsewhere? The extreme left on amt seems to only have an issue with one problem country. Yes Israel. I’ve said wonder why and they need to negotiate peace. Got cursed out and screamed at for those suggestions. But nice commenting pal. Nearly No one supports steps needed for peace on this forum and Y’all put interesting words to my comments. Wonder why.


    Yes y’all are above it all up north. Y’all would have voted for a huge trump ally had he waited a few months to start his trade war. But y’all are better. We get it.

    Obfuscation when you cannot contest fact. Well done. Maybe the answer is to keep Americans off of the Canada titled topic? But that cuts both ways to all the American topics.

    Edit, so it’s my burden to keep notes on 286 pages? That there is not an anti American bias on this forum by those who cannot differentiate between trump supporters and Americans. My bad. It’s a trade war. You can survive it. You are strong and free.

    For what it’s worth I’m becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the tone on this, where at this point I feel like I should despise my family that lives in the US. It’s an asinine place to be, especially since I know that most of the family did not vote for Trump.

    Simply put I refuse to give in to that point of view, similar to how I won’t demand public statements of loyalty from anyone and won’t boo an anthem.

     It’s honestly kind of adorable how so many who have been so critical of Canada for years are suddenly wrapping themselves tightly in the flag.

    the point is you are lumping everything together into one confusing mass. No, we don't ALL lump ALL americans into trumpers. Some do, most don't. But you are doing what you are accusing everyone else of: lumping everyone in with a few.

    well all support steps for peace. just not the continued cleansing and destruction of the palestinian people. wonder why. it's crazy how some people on this forum think if you don't support the continued aggression of one country that you somehow support war.

    So you can admit it’s a mess but then get offended when a Canadian critiques America? 

    There is a bit more bite in what we’re saying lately and that’s thanks to one person, Trump. It’s frustrating that the majority of voters chose that direction, especially knowing full well what he was capable of, chaos. No one expected the trade war and threats to take over Canada and Greenland but it’s happened and there isn’t much that can be done other than vent frustration.

    who was I about to vote for?

    if you have a problem with "getting cursed out", deal with that person. Stop whining about being victimized by every single canadian on here. 

    edit: and yes, everyone who disagrees with you is somehow a bully. *sigh*

    comment on this topic all you want. as will we. much of what is discussed here affects me directly or indirectly. stop trying to police the forums cuz you don't like what we have to say. very trumpy/musky. 

    Yep. The trade war and anti American hostility does not affect me.


    I am an American and do not appreciate getting cursed out when trying to have a reasonable discussion about this mess. I came here against the trade war and was met with hostility towards my country.

    So you can admit it’s a mess but then get offended when a Canadian critiques America? 

    There is a bit more bite in what we’re saying lately and that’s thanks to one person, Trump. It’s frustrating that the majority of voters chose that direction, especially knowing full well what he was capable of, chaos. No one expected the trade war and threats to take over Canada and Greenland but it’s happened and there isn’t much that can be done other than vent frustration. 
    and if people can't separate critiques of a government/their supporters, that's their problem.

    This forum has been rude towards Americans since trump started this trade war. On an American website where almost no one voted for trump. Thanks for your politeness.
    I think you might be misinterpreting or taking the criticism of America personal. It seems to have started when someone said the US is a shitshow. I didn’t read that as the people, but what the country is doing - destroying alliances, allowing an unelected billionaire oligarch fire hundreds of thousands of people, gutting the VA and education systems, the list goes on. I can only speak from my perspective but my issue isn’t with Americans, it’s with America. Unfortunately when the leader of the country does what he is doing, it represents the country as a whole. The same can be said for Russia. Putin is an asshole, Russia a shitshow but I’m sure there are lots of great people there who don’t agree with his actions. 
    nothing new. 

    criticize israel's government: ANTI SEMITE
    support palestinians right not to be blown to bits: PRO HAMAS
    criticize US government: RUDE CANADIANS

    A broken clock is more accurate than these comments. The complaint is y’all are attacking “Americans” not “trump” nor “trump voters.” Nice interpretations of my comments. 

    RUDE CANADIANS 
    “ most of America who is sleepwalking into a dictatorship.”
    “ wondered last night if Americans realize that the only people that like Americans are Americans and even they don't even like most Americans”
    “ Unfucking believable. I don't give a fuck what we have in common with Greenland. “


    PRO HAMAS, ANTI SEMITE
    Have you or anyone here spent one minute complaining about Muslim atrocities and deaths in Syria or china or elsewhere? The extreme left on amt seems to only have an issue with one problem country. Yes Israel. I’ve said wonder why and they need to negotiate peace. Got cursed out and screamed at for those suggestions. But nice commenting pal. Nearly No one supports steps needed for peace on this forum and Y’all put interesting words to my comments. Wonder why.


    Yes y’all are above it all up north. Y’all would have voted for a huge trump ally had he waited a few months to start his trade war. But y’all are better. We get it.



    For what it’s worth I’m becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the tone on this, where at this point I feel like I should despise my family that lives in the US. It’s an asinine place to be, especially since I know that most of the family did not vote for Trump.

    Simply put I refuse to give in to that point of view, similar to how I won’t demand public statements of loyalty from anyone and won’t boo an anthem.

     It’s honestly kind of adorable how so many who have been so critical of Canada for years are suddenly wrapping themselves tightly in the flag.
    if trump did one thing, he brought canada together. lol
