Charlie Angus responds to Trump's latest TS msg re: "51st state"

Dear Donald
Canada has something called democracy.
It means the leader is accountable to Parliament and can be replaced
I bet Americans wish they had that now.
And convicted sexual abusers don't get to lead our nation.
We're decent folk
Ps. Button up. We're sending frigid cold your way.
love Canada

Mon Jan 6, 2025, 05:16 PM

Put-In is trying to regroup all the USSR nation's under his control.
He won't stop with Ukraine. Watch him start going after all the other countries, once
Pendejo45 hands over Ukraine on a silver platter.

So Pendejo45 is screaming about 51st state being Canada & buying Greenland, why?
Because we all know what he thinks about Puerto Rico and all the Central American nations along
with Africa as $h1t H0l3 countries, not to mention D.C.
Instead he's going after territories that don't have black or brown people. Hence Canada & Greenland.

And the 2nd reason, Pendejo45 thinks we are subsidizing Canada by not charging tariffs for everything they supply the U.S.
That's why he feels that the U.S. is propping them up. Again, hence the 51st state.

And just one state, not ten (since there are ten provinces). With a population of 40 million, it would be the largest state in the country. If the House remained at 435 members—or even if it were expanded—this state would command a significant portion of representatives, likely with about 80% being Democrats. Additionally, its electoral votes would heavily favor the Democratic Party.

California has 40 million people and only 2 (count 'em, two) Senators.

Canada is an entire nation of its own and deserves to be let alone. They may have troubles of their own, as every nation does, but they have nothing like our gun fetish.

Even as a joke, I don’t like this talk from my fellow US citizens.

In California we're getting damned tired of just being viewed as a bottomless pocket book for presidential candidates, and having elections decided by the smaller "battleground states."

Dakota Territory was divided into two states, creating two additional senate seats. California has discussed breaking into three states for the same reason.

We should also make Washington DC a state. It has more people than Vermont or Wyoming, and should be recognized as a state with 2 senators, and 1 representative like they are.

If you want Canada you have to take King Charles too. He would be head of state. Trump can be Prime Minister.

He has now "won" two elections using Nazi tactics successfully.

https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/invasion-poland-september-1939

"On August 25, 1939, the aging German pre-dreadnought battleship Schleswig-Holstein arrived in the port of the Free City of Danzig. Officially, it was there to celebrate the anniversary of the German victory in the Battle of Tannenberg in World War I: colorful flags flew from the masts and the men stood at attention in their white dress uniforms, brass buttons shining in the late summer sun. But the ship had a more sinister purpose. Unbeknownst to onlookers, over 200 marines were hidden below deck, preparing for a deliberate and unprovoked attack against Poland. In the gray morning light of September 1, 1939, the ship quietly moved the short distance from Danzig harbor to the Bend of Five Whistles, across from the small Polish military transit depot at Westerplatte.

It opened fire at 4:43 a.m., marking the beginning of World War II.

Long before Adolf Hitler took power in January 1933, he articulated his violent, racially based worldview in his book Mein Kampf. Germany should have won World War I, he argued, but it had been stabbed in the back by Jews and communists and reduced still further by the hated Treaty of Versailles. Only with Lebensraum, or “living space,” could Germans fulfill their destiny as the “master race.” For him, Germany’s future lay in territorial expansion. By the summer of 1939, Hitler had succeeded in annexing Austria, the Sudetenland, and, finally, all of Czechoslovakia without a shot being fired. Poland was to be next."

We are in for a rude awakening if we keep treating this like amateur hour. They are dead serious.
The "threats" are much more subtle and unspoken but there nonetheless.

That is a HARD NO!!!!
Strongly advise that orange pusbag that was elected to drop all conversations re. this issue. Btw: Do y'all know that we have a very large Ukrainian element in Canada? Last time I looked ol' Putin is not having a very easy time of it over there.
As been said before, "f**k around & find out"
