They really treat Canada like a wayward US state. Good on the Canadian government to tell the US to fuck off.

    As a Canadian, and Albertan, I proudly agree the US government can fuck all the way off.

        So if that’s the case why aren’t Americans gathering and fighting to get rid of it before an attempt on Canada happens?

        I actually don’t know if there’d be a whole lot of resistance from Americans to be honest, I think it’ll be a heap of verbal platitude but not much else.

        I hope we don’t see because I don’t count on Americans doing much. I hate to say it but yeah.

          If you’re talking about mass protests those have been happening. Looks like we’re rapidly moving towards a progressive movement across the country too.

          If you’re talking about more drastic options like a general strike you are absolutely right.

          If you expect a violent insurrection that’s just plain unrealistic. People generally don’t want to die in a war. As long as people can still scrape by, affording a place to live and food to eat, there will not be a rebellion. And don’t get me wrong everything is generally unaffordable, but the majority is still keeping just above this point.

            if you expect a violent insurrection

            No, I’m answering the statement that Americans will fight alongside Canadians if they get invaded, which I don’t think they will. As for a violent insurrection like the one they told us they’d do if it happened because they have a 2nd Amendment for that purpose, no, I always knew its main use was to tell other countries that they were less free. So no I don’t think an insurrection is the answer, though it’s one they often put on other countries. Others that are doing far worse finding food and jobs, but again we have to consider those.

            Some of us have been listening to this since 2010. First off they were quite nasty to us about it, then we were expected to understand, now they’re all with us and some want asylum from a vote result. There’s a few passes been handed out and an expectation of understanding that doesn’t get offered by them to others.

            I haven’t heard that all politicians at every level are getting inudated daily with letters, emails, phone calls and petitions telling them to get off their asses and deal with Trump. Americans seem to be overly content to let Trump burn it all down until November and then somehow think things might just go back to normal. American people have already surrendered to Trump and the billionaires. The rest of the world can see that.

        “You Albertans” is a very broad brush. The current government only won by a very narrow margin (54-45). Our cities are largely progressive, and even our rural areas are only about 2/3rds conservative. In fact, among home-grown Albertans the UCP would already have been tossed out if we hadn’t been collecting the people who washed out of polite society in other provinces for decades now. On average, we’re less conservative than rural Ontario, but no one is ready for that conversation.

          “You Albertans” is a very broad brush.

          At the 2024 Federal election, which was 100% about Canadian sovereignty, You Albertans voted 92% of your ridings to PC. Here’s the electoral map of your progressive views:

          Even after the PC leader lost his own seat, and after the PC party had to resort to a US citizen as leader, You Albertans welcomed Pierre Poilievre back to Parliament.

          With one exception, Alberta has voted provincial PC since 1971. JFC…you have an Separation referendumb just weeks away.

            There are almost as many people in those little orange dots as there are in all of that empty blue space. Land doesn’t vote, people do. The polls are still are showing less than 25% support for separation and they are pulling every dirty trick in the book to get it that high. In the 2023 provincial election it was 928,900 UCP to 777,404 NDP. I’m not saying there isn’t a problem, or that we’re not outnumbered, but it’s not by a big margin. The waves of attempted recall elections in the first half of 2026 should tell you that people are not happy, and the fact the province keeps moving the goal posts and deciding to void its own rules just to hang on to power should tell you that it’s not a small group of dissidents. We’d have an NDP Premier in this province if 4 ridings shifted and 100k people in the urban metros changed their minds. (or, like half a Toronto suburb moved to Calgary for a year).

      I keep reading comments like this and getting more convinced La Riposte is going to work.

      Just launched the website today, it’s not going to sell anything, ask for anything. Just encourage people to learn French across Canada as a national effort standing up to MAGA. And amplify via the media/word of mouth. Graffiti. Everything.

      Nothing but upsides, costs pretty much nothing to be involved, I think the national temperature is hot enough right now.

      I keep getting comments removed with the link and the site is pretty bare but la dash riposte dot ca will be the site. But it’s going to be a crowdsourced thing I’m hoping.

        Growing up in western Canada, I found myself annoyed in the past by Quebec’s separation rattling, and didn’t do very well at French class in our immersion curriculum in elementary and Jr. high … but at this point I’d be open to trying to re-learn some French just to spite the US administration.

        Hell, we should all try to learn some Greenlandic in solidarity with them!

      You don’t. You pretend the demands are a joke, and ask for the real demands. If they persist, you walk out of the negotiation.

      You go point by point and say you could drop the demand but they have to give something in return, what are the real things you want. So they end up with giving a lot more by even agreeing to start from this list. It’s not negotiating in good faith but just bullying someone in agreeing to unfavorable terms.

      Not just Canadian good will. Trump et. al. trashed our (America’s) reputation and credibility worldwide during his first administration. Under President Biden, we spent 4 years rebuilding relationships and trust with our allies, at least to the extent they could be rebuilt after the shitshow that was 2016-2020. Now he’s trashed it again, worse than before, and this time I fear the damage is permanent. Even if we manage to elect a sane president in 2028, the world is finding out that they can’t depend on us not to elect someone who will undo everything on a whim. Eventually they’re going to get tired of us going off our meds every few years and make a clean break.

        After watching what’s gone on since 2010 has changed my view of them forever

        Several things have been demonstrated to me, selfishness, laziness, lack of compassion, an expectation of understanding they don’t give others…a few things

        I used to have a fairly high respect for them and wanted to travel there. All gone now and it’s not likely to return because I’ve seen the hand now.

        I want Australia to scrap our treaties with them but our leaders are too spineless.

        You are right to worry. One Trump administration could be overlooked as a mistake on American corporations behalf (lets admit that American voters really don’t count). But a second one, that is inexcusable. The US has had a very lopsided deal in its favour with all Western countries since the end of WW2. The Americans have effectively killed that. That agreement doesn’t suddenly come back with a new adminstration. Especially since every other country knows it can be facing a different Trump in 4 years.

    I’m confused about the last one. They want the Canadian government to charge sales tax on smaller transaction for cross border shoppers? Doesn’t that cause less cross border shopping/tourism?
