Angus: Canadians need to be really ready. We are upping our investment in military spending significantly. We are now procuring from the Europeans—whereas before, we would have just gone to the United States as usual to buy gear. We’re not buying gear from the United States.
Full interview and more from MeidasTouch here: youtu.be/blk_ahkoUI4
Putin. Trump. Hitler. Johnson. Do you understand it now?
Four exclamation marks. I'm sure it's not a Meidas anti-climax though. (!!!!).
I must admit, they have truly lost me as a subscriber due to clickbait thumbnails... I've blocked them on YouTube as it is intolerable on there.
I resented deeply the way Meidas presented the 2024 campaign. I could feel that things were lining up for Trump. It was all slipping away. But several times a day Meidas were blasting out the same demented "Trump. It's Over." stuff. I see zero value in this. It's just more brain rot.
They have no choice. With the Youtube algotithm the way it is they have to make clickbait titles and thumbnails or noone will ever see it.
They are featuring a buffoon as if he's a real politician. Charlie Angus is a fucking joke.
I beg to differ. Trump receives HUGE court setback!! Etc. Should never exist as thumbnail titles. If I've invested 45 minutes of my time on a BTC video, should I then be happy at being enticed to click on a Meidas video which tells me what I already know? Shameless click and $ farming
Algorithms make everything suck.
Go Canada!!!
💔PM Carney and Charlie Angus make excellent points and show great leadership.😢 I am so sickened by what the US has come to look like- The Orange Dictator. Other countries have the right to have National Pride, but I hope we can regain pride in ours.
Trump is on the side of the 1% and the people need to take back the power.
So do we. Unfortunately we have to live with the fascist republicans.
I'm on Canada's side. Are you taking American refugees?
If you're a medical professional, the answer is likely yes. Some scientists are also being accepted.
Have a look at Immigration and Citizenship at Canada.ca
breachmedia.ca/carneys-bord...
Deeply worrying, I agree.
This is very concerning for Canadians too. They're tampering with the legal rights section of the Charter, including unreasonable search and seizure which is designed to protect us from police and government overreach. I'm sickened by it. www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/...
I agree. I was ok with lending my vote to the Libs, to avoid the tragedy that would have been a Con government. And for the most part, I like Carney's handling of the economic and trade issues. But I'm not ok with some of these policies. They need watching. Time will tell, I guess.
C-5 is a slap in the face to Indigenous People. The bill does not follow UNDRIP contrary to our own laws on it.
Yup. That one put me over the edge, for sure. Not ok.
So I feel very betrayed and that he played us all for fools - we elected a Conservative Trojan Horse.
I could learn to love hockey in exchange for citizenship.
Thanks! There is already a high demand for American professionals to come to Canada probably on fast track work visas which would lead to citizenship (we unlike USA do have path to citizenship). Anyone in medical or research to the province of your choice from BC to NFLD.
You’ll have leave your guns and racism at home.
Never been racist or bigoted, and guns are not my thing.
You’re the exception.
I would hope they're not the exception. Remember, most of us didn't vote for the felon rapist. My Scots family hailed from Moose Creek. Unfortunately, 2 generations ago so I can't move back.
Unfortunately, I don't think the rest of the world wants us right now. We're in a fight for the very heart of America. Just think, where can we go when trump is trying his best to start WW3. We need to stop it here!!! All hands on deck!!! Get in the fight!!!
If you find the answer is yes,please let me know.
www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...
Based on the law that has been put forward, Carney bent the knee to Trump on immigrants and has set the stage for mass deportations. So don't get your hopes up. themilitant.com/2025/07/05/c...

Could “the state of Minnesota” be considered a refugee?
all the dittos
If you have special skill like an engineer or work as a nurse it shouldn't be very difficult to find a job. But the job is the key to get in.
No. They don't. Their MAGA blows a gasket at the word "refugees" no matter how obvious is their need of manpower.
Don't leave U.S. We are all needed here. Learn how we got here. Suggest Dark Money by Jane Mayer. There are many other helpful informative books. Join groups that take action. Indivisible is a start. Encourage our youth to do same. Their future is at stake.
Unfortunately, some people are in serious danger if they stay here: Trans folks, especially families with Trans kids, need to GTFO as soon as possible, and neurodivergent people may be close behind. I really hope other countries add them to the list of qualified refugees.
Read "Prelude," by Rachel Maddow. Tells you what the future will be like under Trump.
Luckily I live in Michigan, so I wouldn't have far to go if Canada would take me and my family.
Same. I want my sons out of here.
You can’t be undocumented and come in from a USA border. If you are you get given to ICE!
Oh, the corruption! It hurts my heart, so much!
Charlie, this is great, but I don’t see any uptick in military marketing and recruiting. Nor in any programs that would bring back old veterans who’d love to pitch in. Make it happen, please!
Why is Donald Trump still allowed to push tariffs when his reason doesn't add up. There are more drugs coming into Canada from the states, and just a small portion of fentanyl going over. Just look at how much drugs were going through his last administration yet that is never talked about, so wrong
It's b.s. He's not worried about drugs coming from Canada. He's causing the stock market to go down and buying in the dip, backing off the tariffs. His whole family is a bunch of thieves. For generations they've stolen from & exploited other people. He's having a blast with these b.s. tarriffs
Good. I just paid my college kid’s tuition and housing for their first year in New Brunswick.
The world is changing and it will never be the same. Everyone is realizing that the American political system can’t be depended upon any longer. Good for them. Nobody wants to do business with Russian sympathizers…and who can blame them? A new world order is emerging featuring Europeans leadership.
Wise man.
Wow!!!
How many billions of $$ has Trump's stupidity cost us? Add to that this insane bill they just passed and you'd think he was trying to bankrupt us...oh wait...he is.
👍
Smart move as what we have in office currently cannot be trusted.
Exactly. Our friends are kinda pissed at us.
Totally Agree with You! Do Not Trust Trump or his Henchmen‼️ Stay Strong 🇨🇦
I would expect Trump to try an "accidental " incursion just to see what the response would be. I'd also expect that he will be urging his Jan 6th army of pardoned deplorables to try some attacks on the border to test the response. And he will crank up the dark money funded propaganda.
Putin. Trump. Hitler. Johnson. Do you understand it now?
Who can blame them, why give business to someone who has become your ENEMY? Trump proves once again he is NO DEAL MAKER! NOBODY likes to be BULLIED, but Trump STILL "thinks" he can make other Countries BEND to HIS WILL as they SLAP HIM DOWN one by one! He's going to BANKRUPT America!
We cannot trust the US.
Great thinking! Stay safe from all invaders.
USA threatening to attack Canada went from a South Park plot joke to a harsh reality in a mere 25 years.
America alone. No country can save us from ourselves either. It's up to the American people to fight for what's left of our democracy.
I hope trumps military industrial complex eats shit and dies!
The US just celebrated 249 years old..... And has been at war for 225 years of that 249. It's a US 'money making business' to be at war. Major General Smedley Butler; War is a Racket $$$ ---
Charlie has great insights unfortunately he’s retired from politics but glad to see his voice has reached even bigger audiences
Since it's the warmongering GOP that's the most heavily invested in defense corporations we finally have something that's going to affect the only thing they care about and that's their bank accounts.
👏👏👏
Charlie is 100% correct. We have no idea what's coming, so we need to start preparing for whatever may come.
I so agree, dumpster fire is nuts, and deranged
The 🍊 🤡 has threatened our existence as a sovereign nation. I don’t think we can underestimate the danger we are in. He will undermine our economy, and our sovereignty. He may even send troops! We need a giant civil defence program planning and preparing for an invasion. NATO will have our back!
We can't extract any continental resources away from Ukraine's defense. That would be Putin's trap set for Europe. This is ultimately the worst-case scenario, one that tRump presents to the world. Thanks, MAGA. I hope you enjoy your further poverty & medicaid cuts in exchange for WWIII. You Idiots.
Meanwhile, Europe is coming to terms with China stating that they don't want Russia to lose in Ukraine.
We need to up civil defence & first aid training. Civilians need a system & a plan in order to resist American invaders. It’s coming folks. Likely just after midterms in the US, or if things go sideways for Trump earlier, then before that. He will need wartime powers to quell opposition domestically
The US will erupt in civil war over this. Their military will split into chaos. They thought they voted for a "no war" POTUS, but they actually chose a death mongering FOTUS. FELON. An evil old white man with a spray tan. Spray tan rhymes with Satan for anyone crafting songs or poems out there.
So true
You sound like you'd be good in a leadership role, Sandra.
Too old and jaded to start a new career 🤣😂✌️
Shittt.
Poland neighboured Germany in 1939 and look what happened
Trumps ruse to get nato countries to spend more on defence was an attempt to create more spend with US defence companies. Glad to see it backfire.
😂🤣😅😆😅🤣😂
🎯
This is a sign our neighbor doesn't trust us. I can't say I blame them. We need Trump and his cabinet to resign.
Correct, you cannot trust the US regime. We, the people, do not trust anything out of this regime.
And not should we. We as citizens are staying our peace with Americans, our various governments should be doing no less.
I hate auto correct. Just saying. Nor should we. And saying our peace.
European stuff is way better
It is good to know that the entire world is not bending to the fascist TACO FOTUS Regime.
So proud of the sanity left in this world !!
One man wrecking ball…
Sadly not. Trump didn't get where he is on his own, the whole of the GOP have been enablers
Man, Mike Francesa got thin.
What did we do? Oh, yeah, elected a crazy person to run the country.
You must prepare. We are resisting but they have upped the budget for Ice please tell NATO to prepare for Neuremberg type trials.
What a sad world. Because of one monster and the monsters that enable him, countries are spending in weapons & military instead of alternative energy, education, healthcare for people
Absolutely fucking outstanding! As a Canadian I approve this announcement. 🇨🇦
Elbows up !!!! Love from the USA.
That is very sobering.
Go Canada!
Canada does not support fascism. Boycott American military procurements.
We are as much as possible. Of course, that will only piss of DT even more.
That is when he makes his own decisions, when he is pissed. When he makes his own is when the STUPIDITY SHINES!! IT IS WHEN HE IS MOST VULNERABLE!! Just keep the ketchup under lock and key! I hate to see him destroy the WH more than he has!! Jackie is already spinning in her grave! Caroline-crushed!
The rose garden 😢💔 They were probably withering under his gaze.
Especially Florida!! ~Signed, a pissed off American
Good. Trump can’t force an increase in military spending just to boost America’s military complex …could he? Anyone check his stock trades this year?
Canada has banned US companies from bidding.
The Republican President, TACO, now has lotsa money for ICE. The US money for ICE exceeds Russia's military budget. ICE is Secret Police. They have kidnapped at least 20 Canadians. At least one, Canadian died in custody. The US is laying the groundwork to justify war with Canada. Unbelievable
I think it was Prime minister Mulroney who was asked what it was like living next door to the most powerful country in the world. He replied'' It's like sleeping next to an elephant, everythings fine until the elephant decides to turn over'' maybe prophetic words.
It was Pierre Elliott Trudeau who made this statement.
Yea, Mulroney was too busy sucking up to Reagan and Co.
Yes, singing harmony to Reagan's "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling". I clearly recall being mortified.
You're not the only one.
I remember that too.
Thank's, I knew it was one of them, and I was too damned tired to check it out. Guess I was hoping everyone else was also. You take care.
🤭
Yes, it was PET.
It was Pierre Elliot Trudeau who said that and he was absolutely right. The actual quote is, “ living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant… One is affected by every twitch and grunt.”
Yea, I've alredy been told. I was relying on memory, and it failed me. I was also hoping no one else would know what the hell I was talking about, and too tired just to google it. Thanks, Take care.
Sooooo, what about that place in London Ontario? General Dynamics? I read it was American owned. Is it just going to shut down now?
No. So GD produces the LAV (called Stryker in US) under license. From what ive read, plan is to build EU designed equipment here. GD would build EU designed vehicles under license much like it does now for US designed vehicles
Can we in US be refugees?
CANADA doesn’t need the USA for ANYTHING! Remember that people. The USA owes Canada billions of dollars! Canada owes the USA ZERO!
NORAD still works, but Trump probably does not know it.
I’d like Charlie Angus to discuss whether or not Canada thinks the UNITED STATES should have nuclear weapons! Trump’s arrogance & stupidity, together with Hegseth’s unrestrained volatility, seem a recipe for disaster! Who’s going to stop them? 🧌
Is this the winning we were promised?
Carney is showing Trump who REALLY holds the cards...and it's not Trump.
Well it's neither... Netanyahu holds them... Now Carney is also aiding in the genocide of Palestinians.
Yes Drones Drones and more Drones
What about the talks with the US about joining their ‘Dome’ project –lopped together with trade talks? Sounds like we’re still caught in their web of influence.
Carney was just humouring the old Orange Bully. That’s not going to happen 😄
It’s pretty clear that while Trump takes credit for NATO countries like Canada increasing their military spending - the main reason is to defend against Trump. Nothing unites like a common enemy.
Putin. Trump. Hitler. Johnson.
Actually i believe it is because Canada and the other sane countries around the world now realize this is a Russia, N Korea, USA issue not just USA! There is something bigger going on sadly as now even China entered the picture yesterday announcing full partners with Russia! Scary times right now!
U.S. is now complicit.
WWIII is coming and we're on the wrong side. Trump and MAGA have fucked the U.S. so hard.
China has been behind this the whole time. Biden knew it. Trudeau knew it. The fact they are openly admitting it just highlights how behind the 8-ball all Western democracies are. They have actors at the highest levels of government actively trying to destroy economies and governments. ACT NOW!
💯 💯 💯
They are parts of BRICS
🎯
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Oh, the irony!
👍🇨🇦
And against Ruzzia.
The most likely attack will come from US; Ruzzia does not have the means to attack over the pole. Europe's greatest threat is a land force of Ruzzians from the east
What's the difference? Both are fascist dictatorships.
Agreed. Talking about threats to Canada and hence why we are buying all European equipment and boosting manufacturing at home. We have to take US at it's word; that they intend to invade us
The US is no longer trustworthy. It's Ruzzia 2.0.
I don't think we've even scratched the surface of the damage the maga fool has done to trade.
It’s only getting started. Many businesses here seeking and finding alternative markets
Canada needs to set up its own bases in the high north or Arctic region. Or else the US will do it just as they plan to do in Greenland. The EU needs to do the same in Greenland.
Canada does have bases in the far north. There are plans to expand the northern defences.
I'm fine with this. NATO equipment is NATO equipment, and we literally put kill-switches in the F35s which pissed off everyone
I’ve been saying this for MONTHS! When these war mongers like Trump say ‘I think Canada should be the 51st state’ he’s trying it out for a reaction. What he means is like the bully he is … ‘I want that!’
Die Frage, die alle stellen: Ist dies der Sieg, den wir erwartet haben?
@charlieangus104.bsky.social is a very clear communicator. I wish American politicians would follow his example.
Trump: Making our allies our enemies, our enemies our friends, and our citizens impoverished and dead. Are we GREAT yet?
🤬🤬🤬
As an American, I think you are 100% correct. U.S. voters have proven in their votes for Trump that they are illogical, ill-informed, and unreliable. There isn't a country on earth that should trust us. Add some distance, in fact, because of both our people and our disastrous economy. Walk away.
Keep your #elbowsup.
YEP, GET IT - - -
BRAVO Canada!!
When he says Canada needs to get ready for the “next part of the playbook,” what “playbook” is he referring to?
His boss Putin’s playbook
Probably the authoritarian playbook.
#Project2025 #CurtisYarvin
Europe doesn't have some of the types of weapons that Canada NOW needs. Anecdotally, for some niches vacated by US, the only other free world manufacturer is Ukraine.
China could probably supply most of them
And / or just subjugate Canada in the process / instead, assuming the New America would stand on its dick in the case of a Chinese military intimidation / creeping colonization of Canada.
Just pointing out that China is formidable
That's exactly the right thing to do. I hope this nightmare ends soon, and the precautions prove unnecessary. But until Trumpism is defeated, what other path is there?
Let join in a European alliance. It's the way to go. A Montreal, Guarda, company is recruiting guards for the alligator Alcatraz. I'm not sure that is the way to go 🤔
Are people that stupid? A foreign national working there could come to work the day after pissing their boss off and find themselves on the other side of the cage.
Yup 👍 Trump’s consistent, I will give him that. 😒 What Trump touches, it dies ☠️. Trump touches the presidency, and now our ally nations want NOTHING 👎 to do with us. 😒🙄 And our enemies have Trump licking 👅 from their hands 🙌 like an obedient dog 🐕. www.patheos.com/blogs/allset...
The worst part? The Art of the Deal is The Art of the Steal. If Tony Schwartz had not written this book 📕 for Trump as a ghostwriter, and Trump had not taken FULL credit for it, then I think 🤔 Trump probably would have faded away. 🫥 www.cbsnews.com/news/tony-sc...
Tony Schwartz REGRETS, to this day, writing ✍️ this book for Trump. He sees the monster 👹 he created. Tony Schwartz has donated away his own royalties out of guilt.
Why make the one who threatens you richer? Who would trust their weapons?
You can learn everything he just told you by reading a Canadian newspaper. Charlie is a civilian and has no insight on what our government is doing. Just like he didn't before. He's never held a cabinet post and has no idea what goes in to decisions like this or how PMJT paved the way for it all.
Yeah, whatever you do, do not trust Trump or anyone in his regime for a single thing if you can. The dude is an absolute criminal who's got a big kidnapping and human trafficking operation going full scale here. It's complete with one concentration camp so far and more coming. Don't trust Trump.
You're absolutely right!
The Grand Wizard is back and wreaking havoc to try to hide the pervasive corruption!! This past election will cost this country is so many ways!! It will take generations to repair! I am so sorry for my children and grandchildren!!! I will never see the mend!!
Can you help us win back our democracy?
Why isn't he gone? This #PP bro resigned. I can't stand him. Nothing like helping #PP destroy a worthy charity
I'm worried this is the last summer of peace.
I don’t blame Canada at all.
Can anyone explain why Canada hasn’t bothered with nuclear weapons we clearly have the knowledge to make them. Is it some sort of Treaty or agreement with USA? Kinda like how Avro Arrow was competing against American & European plane technology and PM Diefenbaker axed the program. Something’s fucky!
Canada ratified the NPT in 1969, committing to not acquire or develop nuclear weapons.
Wise move. Buying American weaponry might include kill codes in the software to make them inoperable to the enemy if the Americans are facing their own manufacture on the battlefield.
There may be validity to the "kill switch" rumor on the F-35 jets. If the jets are outside of the US, there's a LOT of restrictions when it comes to their repairs & modifications. Israel is the ONLY ones with an independent system. The rest are reliant on US code🤔 theaviationist.com/2025/03/10/f...
I wonder if MAGA folk will ever actually understand how much Trump has hurt their interests.
Good question! I can answer that for you… No
I don't want to her any moaning and groaning about Canada's mounting debt! It all costs $$$.
Canada has the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio of any of the G7 nations. We can afford to borrow for defence.
We have the $, and its not that we are just buying equipment, its being built in Canada
Precisely. We need to be ready and it will cost while providing jobs. A transition to other ways of doing things will take time and $. If we need to tighten our belts we can do it. Still, I anticipate con cries of 'deficit!'. So glad we have a good $ manager in PM Carney. bsky.app/profile/team...
Sounds like a good plan... we should do the same. viewed from Australia 🦘💙
Be strong and ready Canada.
Fascist wannabe Trump has destroyed our credibility among free nations.
Angus is correct. You don't buy weapons from the enemy Trump regime.
Cancel F-35 fist batch of 16 of 88. No work done yet, F! the penalities Just don't pay them. Reduce the P-8 order of 16 made by BOEING. Canacla the Predator full order only 2 in early production. NO Submarines for sure. Hope to make the UK weapons in collaboration. Kick the USA from G7 as well.
I agree with every word. It be like Ukraine buying jets from Putin at this point. We aren't safe while this regime is in power. He is trying to destroy our economy. He is the enemy. CANCEL IT ALL!!! 🎯
Unfortunately, Canada has committed to buying 88 F-35As, and has already paid for 16 of them. Cancelling would cost about $10 billion, not just in penalties but in revenues for Canadian companies in the F-35 supply chain.
They ought to donate them to Ukraine.
Several European countries are in the same predicament regarding F-35s. Finland has ordered 64. There will be a massive sigh of relief if they arrive this fall (and sans "kill switches" 😛).
Good on Canada!
Better make a move based on worst case possible scenario than be late in this Trump game.
Good
I live in the fascist country previously known as USA but if I was Canada hell yes prepare yourselves from Trump's fascist regime. I'm too old to leave but if I knew 20 years ago I would have got out. My youngest will be leaving this place and not have a child tilll gone from this evil regime .
Our POS IN CHIEF needs to FEEL THE BURN OF HIS STUPIDITY!!! IT IS COMING . . .BIG TIME!!!
There used to be a phrase to describe all the money, time, and trouble we’d save by not having to constantly take adversarial military postures. “Peace dividend.” Trump doesn’t believe in that.
This isn't about Trump it's about the incredibly huge number of irredeemable assholes who willingly voted for him. His time will pass, but those twats will remain. America's time has come. Well done. Dicks.
That sucks.
Charlie is my voice. 55n 123.4w
Smart! The American system of ally-ship has sadly become untrustable!
Make sure to build a wall along your southern border.
That’s not happening.
As well we should. The US is currently morphing into an Oligarchic Tyranny, devoided of moral or laws.
Good move! 🇺🇸🇨🇦 Tho' it breaks my heart.
I am so grateful they see him for who and what he is. This is huge. And terrifying. But mostly huge.
We are now a deeply untrustworthy nation. Prepare yourselves well, Canada.
Way to go Canada put the pedal to the meadow. Don’t take shit.
No country should rely on United States for anything because the 79 year old man made it very clear America first.
But that may hurt our military-industrial complex and Trump will be upset. So I'm all for it.
Good, we should be cutting all trade until an investigation of the election is done and presented to congress, the house and scotus.
Logical approach— given the number of Russian stooges at the highest levels of the US government. 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦
He's a Fox News grandpa. I doubt he is a Russian asset. He's just so personally corrupt that he will make deals with literally anyone who gives him something and flatters him.
on july 4th, no less www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
But this was in 2018 not 2025. I know they have no business going no matter the year.
yup, no business you're learning 👍
No learning to it because it should be common sense.
now you get it
None of this happens without the Conservative block of SCOTUS. Your pic needs to be revised to reflect the judicial role in all of this from gerrymandering to legislating to POTUS immunity.
US arms sales are going to utterly tank in the next few years. America has deliberately fucked over Ukraine who are desperately relying on US supplied refills. Instead Trump tried to blackmail Ukraine into handing over a trillion $ worth of mineral rights first. Why would any country want that?
I should also add: Ukraine offered Trump a $50 BILLION CASH arms purchase deal. No aid, no donations - just a straight $50 billion deal for weapon refills. Trump refused the deal.
Why would any US ally want to rely on a partner that might treat them like that? Why buy weapons utterly crucial to the safety to your entire nation, from a known loan shark and blackmailer? Trump is deliberately destroying American alliances and trade partnerships.
I have no doubt Canada, the EU, Australia are working together to protect our democracy, countries from the orange regime.
Trumps is controlled by putin and bibi
People think he is but he’s not. The real criminals live right in the USA. Just watch.
And Canada should not sell any material or components American are using to make weapons. I wiish to hear about that from Carney sooner than later. #Elbowsup
Why would anyone trust anything sold by Trump??? 😂😂😂
Canadians shouldn’t buy American… unless they buy California. I’m totally on-board with being part of a new Canada including California, Oregon, and Washington.
I agree with Mr Angus. I've been thinking for awhile now.. how long before the U.S. empire turns Canada into the next Ukraine?
This wanna be admin gas no balls, just ignorance! Ain't gonna happen!!
Not long.
It's the logical thing to do to be ready for an illogical regime.
Buy nothing from the "United" States.
Yes!!! Boycott us!!!
As much as possible. And within the US, never buy from red states.
I had to use that again. Im so sorry, Orange Jesus, just flat out LIES.
Keep pressing your legislators to do better. 202 224 3121 Congressional Switchboard resist.bot/petitions/PJ...
I just want to say that I appreciate all of the good Americans that are protesting against this regime, I just hope it is enough
I feel PM Carney is the right person for this time and I appreciate him. Charlie is a national treasure, he is smart and knows what he is talking about, I pay attention to what he says
Unfortunately Charlie, as a member of the NDP party, lost his seat in the last election when the NDP was all but shut out.
Actually he retired at the end of his term
Canada needs to do whatever it has to do to protect itself. Liberal Americans understand this because we feel under threat, too.
We will eventually move out and join the fight if things don't straighten out soon! My hope is based on the fact that only a small % of Americans agree with this bastard! They can all go down with him!! Civil War 2??? Like the 1st, we have the money, the bases, the intelligence!!!
Yes we do! I will support Canada 🇨🇦
We're still pursuing the US F-35 buy instead of pivoting to Saab's built in Canada compliant proposal. We're still going ahead buying the Boeing P-8 instead of flying our Auroras a little longer (they *just* completed a major modification!) and entertaining Bombardier's CMMA proposal.
The whole "keeping the key to turn the weapons off whenever they want thing" was a bit of a deal breaker .....
Good, don’t support the greedy billionaires, thx!
That's nice. Canada buys from Europe, which, in turn, buys to the US to appease Trump. Everybody's happy!
Canada is DONE with the US, and this American can give them no reason not to be. Canada: the great nation we were so very lucky to have as our closest ally, but have now tossed away like the fools we are.
Historically, the U.S. has messed with every country in the Americas, now it's down to the last one.
Once we amputate this cancer from our body, it will take a special person to gain the trust of other countries again, if at all!!😭
The shame is almost too much for me. I cannot believe that my country has turned against our closest ally. Canada, May The True North Stay Strong and Free! Sadly America, May Never Again Be. For God Sakes America, RISE UP. We are in trouble.
My god! Never a bolder statement have I read in these grave times! 💙🙏🏻
History shows we still maybe next if he takes hold. We need to support all our good neighbours in the good fight now for sure.
I Think We Have Learned, 🫶 Hope Is Great 🫶, BUT HOPE PLUS ACTION IS 👉 IMPERATIVE 👈 But, Do We Have The Actual Courage For Action? I do have HOPE. But it’s holding on by a shorter thread as each day passes 🥴
It’s true, I am still in mourning. I went to Montreal. I had the best bagels I ever had, and met the most kindest people. I despise trump hurting my best friends. ❤️ Canada! Despise Trump!
The problem is that I believe Canada has already contracted to buy F-35As from the US. I've heard conflicting statements saying that Canada can cancel without penalty, and that Canada must pay a hefty cancellation penalty. Does anybody definitively know how this contract works?
While cancellation is legally possible, it would be financially costly and economically disruptive, with penalties and lost industrial benefits likely running into billions of dollars. The government would need to weigh these costs against any strategic or political reasons for withdrawal.
Follow up from Perplexity AI: Yes, Canada has contracted to buy F-35A fighter planes from the US. The contract covers 88 jets, with payment for the first 16 already made. The contract is under review, but remains in force and has not been cancelled.
Probably would now be subpar ! I wouldn't trust anything coming out of the USA right now !
Put military at the check points like he has. Shut down the highway to Alaska.
Charlie is absolutely right. #Canada needs to prepare to deal with this fucking lunatic.
THIS is happening here in Canada TOO!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi7u...
Smart man.
The truth hurts 💔 😪
Good make Trump and his goons global pariahs 🤬
I more buy Japanese dub Blu rays from CDJapan. I would like to buy more Japanese products.
Ya. Who wants to buy jets that might have a shut down command hidden in its computer software.
Absolutely
Trusting the United States under the criminal trump is not a safe bet for any nation anywhere. Getting trade going with Europe is good, try to build your country without relaying on a crazy man tryng to play at being the leader of the free world. He is not supportive of anythng but himself.
Trump is a sadist and looks on Canada with 19thcentury eyes👍
This idiot looks at everything through a money lense and status lense! He is psychotic and is bringing us down with him!!!😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬
West Coast States and Northeast states may have to join with Canada to fight Trump. It's not out of the realm of possibility.
Gee, be a shame if US arms dealers go out of business.
We should invest totally in drones rather than fighters. For the cost of a single fighter we could make tens of thousands of drones. And front line robotics.
Don’t blame them.
No problem with this in theory. But the practical problems include becoming the dumping ground for Europe's (looking at you, UK Royal Navy) obsolete hardware, and being on the hook for $$$refits$$$. Dumping US in all military procurement is fine, but Caveat Emptor doesn't go off the list either.
Pardon my ignorance, but I didn’t see a name/title caption. Who is this speaking?
Angus Reid, former MP, is speaking.
Thank you
Angus is speaking.
See you in 3.5 years 🙏
Should keep this low profile, glad to know about it but the less we say it the better.
Treasonous serial rapist nazi 34-times forever convicted felon trump did this.
At some point this assault on the MIC will not be tolerated.
Trump can never be trusted, except when he talks about punishment
That’s a good move. You don’t wanna have your military supply cut off because the United States of Trump Crazies have attacked you.
Hey Canada, please give us asylum.
I really wish there was a way for Canada to "take in" a few of our northern states. I'm from Minnesota, and I would totally support this move. Those who wouldn't support it? Well, there are 40+ other states they could relocate to.
We need to back out of NORAD. Tell Trump no to his "Golden Dome". Sorry but not sorry
His "Golden Dome" is a boondoggle sop to his buddies in the aerospace industry and can be overwhelmed by fake, cheap, mass-produced missiles mixed in with the real things.
France too! They are buying jets from Sweden instead
Keep going. His military spending is huge backed by all of the creepy Republicans. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they’re coming for Canada at some point. Stay strong Canada you do need to be ready. We’re fighting here, but he’s a madman filled with greed and insanity.
And a following of ignorant incompetents!! But, you know that! I can't imagine anyone doesn't see it! My fear, enemies will see the vulnerability! He hasn't called anything correctly, or legally yet!!! He has no competent support! They can't even communicate the weather!!!
Phuck That whole "Golden" of Course, Dome... Rip off the Israeli's and put some gold on it (like the mantle on the White House fire place... Saw it on TV...
Canada has to create an anti drone device capable of taking down 50 drones moving together (lasers? Bullets? Microwaves?) and give it to Ukraine for testing
The UK has provided Ukraine with a laser system called DragonFire to help defend against drones. DragonFire is a high-energy laser weapon designed to destroy targets like drones and missiles by burning a hole through them with a powerful beam of light, It is a cost-effective solution at $14 a shot
I read about that 2 weeks ago but Kiev is being attacked mercilessly lately so I’m thinking DragonFire is in process of being setup or something else. Also, many cities are being attacked at once so we need all the devices other countries have.
Dragonfly has been active for quite a while now but it is still in the trials and with the limited rage it’s not perfect but it’s a step in the right direction. Yes Russia is hitting Ukraine hard with drones and it doesn’t help when people take away support for their air defence, it’s mind blowing.
Sorry that’s Misspelled it’s called the Dragonfire not dragonfly 🤦🏼♂️
BENEDICT DONALD'S AMERICA is a thoroughly DEGRADED America. Even the immoral, irresponsible people who voted for Donnie Dim-Wit can no longer deny that they are being severely damaged by his imbecilic policies.
Canadians are born ready.
Americans are born stoopid.
I am a 72 year old United States citizen. Good for you !!!!! Don’t buy anything from US unless and until we get our head out of our ass.
💯
This Californian agrees
78 year old citizen and I agree with you.
Agreed
💙🇨🇦. Best to be safe💙🇨🇦
Do NOT trust the United States of America under any circumstances, under any conditions, for any reason, whatsoever.
100% agree, I would add “At any time”. I will never support the usa.
As long as we have maga, don’t.
Either way, dont
It will take decades for Canada to trust America again. The relationship is forevered destroyed.
Right! It's going to take a generation or two or more.
and who knows how much worse it can get
It's going to get a lot worse. The fascists are speeding up.
i'm aware. I wouldn't put it past them trying to invade us here either (i'm canadian)
I wouldn't put it past them and I live in the states.
I'm in canada and I know a few people who having been preparing go bags, etc in case it happens
It will never be what it was. I wonder if your tourism industry will ever recover. We have had governors from multiple states coming here begging people to visit and thry'd be safe but at the same time saying they cant control border patrol of what happens
Won't go to the US until Cheeto Mussolini is dead and gone. Even then, I won't go until all the anti human rights policies are gone. Get with the now
Me or the governors? Cause I am right with you on that. If I were at one of those events, I'd probably get kicked out for the angry tirade I'd have.
I'm advocating for the World Cup & Olympics to pull out of the U.S. Unidentified masked thugs are kidnapping & trafficking random human beings off our streets. No one is safe and the U.S. cannot, must not be trusted right now, or for decades to come. We have a high price to pay for our choices.
Republicans are MAGA.
I took a ride through a rural section of WV, which describes pretty much all of, beautiful as it is! I am shocked at the number of the pos' flags I STILL see!! Ignorance has no limits!!!
As we've come to learn, cults are real and brainwashing is a true thing that happens to people forcefed garbage all the time. rupert murdoch has much to answer for
#medicaid #alligatoralcatraz #trump #manbc #joerogan #jessedollmore #occupydemocrats
God, we’re so sorry.
Ffs we should have been doing drone work and ramping up 155mm production and barrels as well 2 YEARS AGO!! CHARLIE DID FUCK ALL WHEN HE WAS A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT!!
Please let me in!!! I don't work but can volunteer as a nurse. Let me in
CAF is always recruiting. They'll even train you. The Reserve is a good start, they have part-time medic positions.
I am an RN. But I retired I would still volunteer . Won't even have to pay me
Don’t buy nothing from America.
Tell me why Canada air donated to Trump?
I don’t know if the people in charge of all these businesses support him because they agree with whatever he says and does or if they are afraid of his threats, law suits, not being able to do business.
That's more money Trump has made America lose
Maybe Canada should form an international legion too, to bolster their manpower. Ukraine had to do that on the fly. Canada has time, for now. And I bet at least half of this theoretical international legion will have Americans.
Agree
Thank you to Canada for not being willing to support our fascist regime or the corporations that support the regime.
Trump has turned America into a global pariah on the world stage.
Also fitting because he’s a complete pussy.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
As an American, please do what you can to Stonewall this administration of thieves, don't come visit, don't buy anything from the US. The billionaires must suffer with the rest of our poor people and the only way they suffer is by taking away their money and power.
Real question: how do we even touch the billionaires (in any country)? Other than Tesla, billionaires aren't feeling little boycotts no matter how many people aren't using, say, Amazon.
My idea is for all the working class to stop going to work. It's the people at the bottom who really make all the money for the billionaires. They don't go to work nobody gets paid. Or quite quit if you need to get paid.
Stop buying things we don't need, stay out of all of the retail stores, shop local or second hand. Pay attention to our local areas political agenda, grow your own garden and cook your own food and make fun of the people who are happy about this devastation. They're all bullies.
Good. The U.S. is red 🚨!
THE WHOLE WORLD HATES REPUBLICANS.
It is not by coincidence that international tourism is to mostly blue states.
California is feeling a lack of tourism already.
I fear for other countries who are copy cats!! At least Orban seems to be going down!! Will puti step in???
What a mess we are in🤯🤬
Been telling that to my coworker on Thursday but he yelled at me and said that Republicans are the saviors of the United States and called me Unamerican for calling them out.
THE BRAIN DAMAGED MAGA REPUBLICAN EXCREMENT ARE 30% OF THE POPULATION. I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT THEY THINK. NEITHER SHOULD YOU. REPUBLICANS DONT THINK. THEY HAVE SHIT WHERE BRAINS SHOULD BE.
They sure do. Glad I left the GOP the moment Trump became the candidate in 2016. It’s been dead to me since.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR LIBERATION ❤️🔥🗽❤️🔥
Good to hear it’s possible.
as they should
Wait til the health care & food stamp cuts kick in for TACO supporters. Those who didn’t pay attention may have a shocking awakening.
Do you remember when MAGA Republicans were on their death beds dying of COVID they caught because of Trump's disinformation?The insane brainwashed lunatics still did not believe their nurses and doctors as they died. Republicans are braindead. They are beyond redemption.
Yup I finally accepted it is a cult mentality. TACO plays to them. Funny, some, maybe many of the ICE probably resisted masks during Covid, but wear them to arrest people. No point looking for logic. Just saddening to know so many support the meanness.
It really is the saddest thing I have ever seen in my life. The WILLFULL IGNORANCE OF REPUBLICANS IS PURE EVIL.
Pure EVIL.
That bastard stayed alive this long on OUR taxpayer healthcare for congress critters. I despise Glitch.
When trumpenfurer gets done with us, he may attack you next..
Consider the environmental threat Taliban Trump is handing the northern hemisphere with his no regulations on toxic waste…water, land & air are going to be given the same treatment as the labor force he is herding up to torture in his money making detention camps …Canada is not safe 🤡👁️🦅
Can't rely on USA. They might withhold supplies as leverage at pivotal times. It's not safe.
Might?
@charlieangus104.bsky.social is on point, but I have been yammering *since the event* that -if #Canadian #environmentalists have ANY forethought- we should be worried about #CorporateDumping & #TerroristDumping #ToxicDisaster #Trafigura #Côted’Ivoire #IvoryCoastDisaster ⚠️ Do NOT #trust #BRICS ⚠️
#BRICS #Russian #ShadowFleet #ToxicWaste #anchoring #ToxicTimeBomb #Toxic #Disaster #extortion ⚓️ #anchordragging #infrastructure #sabotage
That is a smart move. U know all u need to know about trumpafuck.(Russian asset) The bottom line u could be next
Actually that’s not really true. I wish it was. To be honest Carney is failing miserably here. Also where’s Canadian aid to Ukraine? 25M? Canada’s GDP is over 2.5 trillion. Also really 2% when EU doing a 5% target and US threatens to attack you? kyivindependent.com/canada-pledg...
Seriously,? Canada is supporting Ukraine, not enough for you I guess, are we supposed to fill the gap the US left by withdrawing support? I think Canada is trying its best
Your GDP is 2.5T ours is 10x We gave a lot more than 10x your aid. You have the largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world. So yes you should want to pick up the slack for Ukraine’s sake. Is it a bad thing to support a country /culture fighting for its life against a genocidal terrorist colonizer?
See the point? Pretty quiet now
No I chose not to respond because I am not getting into trivial arguments with people who kind of support Ukraine already for their sakes, not my pride or vanity.
BTW, I had facts, Canadians do support Ukrania, most of the free world does, zelensky is a hero as are all of the ukranian people , I get that you are frustrated, but please understand, we do all support you, I am sorry you don't think we do
I’m a native russian speaker, born there and a US citizen. Been here for decades. My only goal and aim here is to get more support for Ukraine, especially now as the Nazi Trump regime throws them under the bus.
I followed you, appreciate your dedication
Everyone is scrambling over this fascism regime in the US
I promise Canadians are on your side, trump is a cancer
Fair enough
Also Canada has given more support on a per capita basis than most G7 counties, Canada has 41.14 million residents, the US has 340.1 million residents
You misunderstood, or I was not clear, I completely support any aid to the Ukraine, this whole shit show with the US is new and we are rightly pivoting, away from the US and I am sure our PM will do the right thing and give further support to Ukraine.
Canada has given much aid to Ukraine and is also going for the NATO 5% defence spending target. Only Spain is refusing to reach 5%.
Canada does okay with respect to helps for Ukraine. I wish it was more especially now considering what the Trump regime has done. I hope they commit to 5% because the recent 2% commitment is pretty pitiful.
Considering that Trump is in Putin's pocket, what more do you want from Canada? Canada supports Ukraine and the suffering people. Europe also needs to step up to Russia. Forget the US. They are fucked now.
We already fully committed to the 5%. Canada may be large in landmass but we only have a population of around 41 million people with an ageing population.
You guys are not tiny. You have a GDP of 2.5 trillion. Do you remember where it was published that Canada committed to 5%? I was only able to find that 2% article I linked.
41 million people and much of our GDP is resource based. The NATO summit was very recent and the announcements where everyone committed to 5% except Spain should be very easy to find.
This is why we need immigration. Not without control, but we've always had that.
There will be at least 70 million refugees needing a new home in the coming year. Obviously Canada will not be able to take all of them but still.
Canada would be a preferred destination, if we would only put a program like this in place: www.theguardian.com/education/20...
Perhaps they should be taking back their country from the fascist dictatorship that is developing there.
For some people, it might be better to be at a Canadian university completing their research on a cure for cancer (or whatever). People can be doing different kinds of work and contributing in different ways.
That is a very small group though.
Look at how difficult it is to get any resource development or big infrastructure projects done. We need more cities.
Don’t worry, global warming will make Canada a far more temperate climate. Why do you think trump wants to invade now?
Fuck Trump. Colonel Sanders and Ronald McDonald will take care of that greedy pile of shit soon enough. The rest of his shitbag followers will fall back into line soon after.
I'd rather my country wasn't destroyed by climate change but that might just be me.
Other countries will be destroyed. It will probably benefit Canada more than it will hurt you.
Yeah... after Canada burns, the glaciers and arctic all melt away, the animals are all dead and the land is contaminated with heavy metals from toxic smoke it will be very nice for people who like warmer temperatures.
This American supports this decision.
Worldwide and Nato Boycott= sanctions on terrorist state No deal, don't call back till russians wh is disinfect.
Yep everyone buying weaponry from the US would be facing what Ukraine is facing, - US remotely switching off sold equipment, refusing to sell supplies, parts, support which basically means a waste of resources. Learn from history folks. Don't repeat mistakes others made
Smart move Canada 🇨🇦
Canada needs nuclear weapons. That's how far Trump has taken things.
There are other WMDs that are a lot cheaper to develop and deploy than nukes.
