As if America would ever allow Canada to be a full fledged State. Canada would become like Puerto Rico, or the CNMI…and Fox News would threaten to deport The Weeknd if he ever played the Super Bowl again.
America doesn’t want Canadians. They want Canada’s resources and land. Anyone who thinks America would openly welcome Canada as equals or family doesn’t understand America.
I fully agree with Steve Dangle. When will a Canadian NHL team finally take the Stanley Cup?
If Buffalo wins it, would that count?
LOL! Man, I feel sorry for Buffalo, the Bills had numerous chances and the Sabres (in 2nd place!!!) drought continues. Are there Canadian Sabres fans watching from west bank of the Niagara River?
Something from this podcast stood out to me.
He talks about how Austin Matthews is a great guy because he spends a lot of time at Sick Kids playing with the children. Does Austin sucking up to known big league pedofile Trump cast that in a different type of light? Just speculating.
The single most important purity test is Trump. Abraham Lincoln, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mr Rogers, and uhh Eleanor Roosevelt would instantly become terrible people if they shook Trump’s hand, regardless of anything else they did or accomplished in life. That’s how it works. It’s like King Midas kinda.
King Mierdas
I wouldn’t shake Trump’s hand. It has been up someone’s asshole, and they didn’t consent.
Professional sports are state sponsored to promote patriotism. Sports leagues are made to empower and legitimize people like Trump.
As a European, I disagree hard on this. Sports is mostly about community, local clubs and entertainment for the 9-5 worker. To have something that takes away the thoughts of the housing loan, ensurance bills, health, kids, job, etc.
Well, I thought the bread circuses side was so obvious it wasn’t worth a mention. Docile and irrationally in support of the state is the kind of people sports are made to make.
Lol.
That doesn’t really seem newsworthy. Basically, “podcaster says something”.
I’m about to say sounds silly but I say it often.
“He wants to make all of Canada a single state…wouldn’t you break it up into multiple states? With Canada as the 51 state be the new powerhouse? Like California? Because Canada is like a whole ass country”
And I know that’s not the issue. The issue is that he’d threaten war at all… but imagine the entirety as Canada as one single state. Also Venezuela is the 52 state. Iran and Greenland are combined to the 53 state because fuck it its nearly 5 o’clock”
Puerto Rico will remain not a state
Trump doesn’t spend time thinking about the practicalities of something like this, because when he says “51st state” what he means is “The latest expansion of my kingly domain.”
He has zero intention of letting newly subjugated Canadians vote. He doesn’t even want to let Americans vote. These are the fantasies of an autocrat, not carefully thought out plans.
He’s just a spoiled rich kid in a toy store, demanding everything he sets his eyes on: “I want Greenland! I want Canada! I want everything!”
His parents were monsters, so they indulged him, and so did everybody around him for his entire life, and now he thinks that’s what life is - he gets whatever he demands, because he’s better than everybody else, obviously. And for some reason, those around him continue to indulge him.
What he needs, is a spanking, and a time out.
Making it 4-5 states would hand the Dems the senate. They want another Puerto Rico with no real representation.
If Canada was a state, the Republicans would never win the electoral college again. There would never be another Republican president.
And the House of Representatives would be permanently blue.
And even just 2 more senators would be a massive risk for the Republicans too. If each province was a state, it would be game over in the senate as well.
California, Texas, New York, and Canada would all be blue in 2028. There are only so many Floridas and Texas is not guaranteed.
And if the Canadians in Florida and Arizona and Nevada could vote, they may not be as red anymore either.
Canada will never be a state. But it would certainly kill the US Republican Party if it did.
You think there will be free and fair voting under a Maga that wants Canada? Interesting.
I don’t think you are accurately accounting for the popularity of politicians who align themselves with MAGA policies in Canada
Yeah, a few make it through, but not nearly enough to affect the chaos they want to, unlike our southern neighbours…
I’ve got bad news we are all mostly already blue. Replicocans only win because voting is a pain is the ass by design. When democrats when they don’t even try to fix things, they just put thier hands up and say “I’m so pissed but thier nothing we can do other then complain quietly to ourselves. Thats a shame.
It’s kind of a pain, especially in certain districts in red and purple states where they make it intentionally hard to vote… but for the vast majority of non-voters, either they just don’t care or they think it won’t make a difference who they vote for.
It’s as much a mind game as a foot game.
I’d love to go back to not caring about politics. I’d love to go back to never wondering if the surgeon general has ever practiced medicine in thier life.
That’s how it got into this position in the first place, casual disinterest in the mechanisms of the government.
Everything is bigger in canada
Bro I live In Texas. I just saw this in all.
Everything, and I mean everything, is bigger in Texas
Except budget, taxes, healthcare, eduction, over all happiness, morals or freedom
But we’re number one in having an Alamo.
To be clear this is satire.
You definitely have bigger toast.
I don’t get the bigness thing about texas, Ontario is one third bigger.
I really don’t know where the “bigger in Texas” thing comes from. I know when traveling to Florida is a two day trip. The first day is all Texas and the second day is traveling thru the other 3 states. I know king ranch is big enough if your car breaks down you are in real trouble. People die walking thru king ranch it’s so big.
I don re know about Canada but there a whole lot of nothing in Texas. Driving for hours and seeing nothing but land.
But we’re number one in having an Alamo.
I’m not so sure about that, the airport terminal near me also has an Alamo. I guess maybe Texas is tied for number one on that.
There’s also Alamo rental car. Don’t come at me with your “it’s called alamo” unless the most famous not Texan (Davey Crockette ) weighed your luggage.
Off topic joke I worked at a leather shop in Florida but again I’m from Texas. We sold very large knives to scary bikers.
Anyway one guy said to me “a Bowie knife make everyone think twice lol”
Me: I don’t know man, you know who else had a Bowie knife? Jim Bowie. And he fuckin died.
To be clear this is satire.
We truly live in the blursed timeline.
I felt I had to add that because we live in the crazy timeline
Edit: I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t mention YOUR Alamo? We had a whole ass Alamo and you didn’t.
Satire
pr does not want to be a state, trust me. they are better off not becoming a state
I’m aware some territories do and some do not. This is America and we are simple minded folk. If they don’t become a state than they aren’t are people. And even if they do join they’re kinda brown… it’ll still be a thing
yeah, I hear ya. racism makes zero sense lol
It makes less than zero. If I told you I was starting a new society run by people with a mole on thier face you point out that that’s a ridiculous metric
Like the phrase “don’t judge book by its cover”
Our society promotes “Judge them entirely by thier cover”
It’s not only bad it’s a inefficient way to run a society.
Keeping it a single state means fewer senators. Not that Canada is like a communist haven or anything, but they’re FAR from our MAGA bullshit and they don’t wanna dilute the power they’ve accumulated in that chamber of congress.
Also, Canada would be the 3rd or 4th highest GDP in the US if it became a single state. California and Texas have it solidly beat. NY is neck and neck with Canada.
California doesn’t fuck about. While a higher gdp than new York’s is still nothing to ignore
GDP seems to be a high score for wage slavery.
Canada does things slightly differently.
That’s very true. I’m living with a dictator who insists the economy is great because stocks are high. That’s not really how the average persons measure life.
I feel a certain kind of way towards Canadians who are willing to take foreign money to promote separatist views that would be used to extract from them. I feel a certain kind of way towards Canadians who would work with our enemies against us and sowe pointless division between us
Finally, somebody with balls.
I was disappointed in Jared Keeso trying to sanitize Gretzky in the last season of Shoresy. Either he wrote and filmed that season far in advance or he’s completely tone deaf to CDN hockey fans.
Media outlets should not repeat “51st state”.
All mainstream media does is give publicity to Chump
Why not? Let people know he said that.
Not reporting on it before Trump is how people thought it started with Trump.
No, that’s not accurate. One, reporting on what before Trump? On what? Next, using his idiot terminology as if it is legitimate does not help anything. “51st state” is a disgtusing, moronic and nonsensical phrase he uses and they are legitimizing it.
American 51st state threats. If they had been reporting on it before Trump then people would realize it didn’t start with Trump.
I thought it was known that a lot of NHL players vote for and support Republicans.
Like that traitor Gretzky.
Mostly a league made up of wealthy white folk from upper-middleclass upper class families that tend to be conservative. Sometimes you hear of an outlier (Bobby Ryan for example). But you have to be wealthy to afford to play the sport.
I love hockey, dont get me wrong. But demographics are demographics.
That’s wild to hear. I always thought of hockey as a sport of diplomacy. It’s heart breaking to hear the ethical hockey players are choosing a more aggressive approach to politics. The “might makes right” viewpoint.
It you are playing hockey the goal is finding a solution not just hurting people until you win.
Very disappointing.
Satire.
Hockey is globally perceived as the winter white privilege sport. Tennis is the summer counterpart though I’d argue tennis is less homogenous.
Do Russians care about white privilege?
Which is weird because tennis has one of the lowest entry costs of any sport, provided your municipality provides public nets.
It’s the only sport I know of where the balls expire. Tennis lessons for my son was kinda expensive. Also he hated it after like three days lol
You can play with year old balls just fine, they’re just less bouncy. Which is actually what i recommend for new players since they tend to get a bit more control that way. I never had lessons. Just ran around for fun.
I forgot I wrote that and just saw “you can play with year old balls” in my notifications. lol.
Hockey is the sport of peace, they are all intellectuals and their opinions on politics should always be considered relevant. /s
They do have more teeth than someone from Texas… fair point.
I always thought of hockey as a sport of diplomacy.
I hope this is a joke
The comment ends with saying it’s satire.
The obvious solution would be to not let American players in the league if this was a problem.
I say this from the US, only shake my president’s hand if you spit on it first.
“The only place to spit in a rich man’s house is in his face” - Diogenes
On the president?
*on your hand, visibly while looking him in the eyes so he sees, then offer your hand with a smile
I don’t know that’s close to a blood bond and trump is mentally 9 years old. It might confuse him.
I seem to remember seeing posts online where people claiming to be ex-military claim to have given Bill Clinton a “stink palm” where one runs their hand up their ass crack before shaking someone’s hand.
Steve Dangle is a real one
✊
Wow! That guy is more angrier than that Canadian curling guy! I can’t fault the team players for being thrown into that weird political situation. They will laugh at almost anything that is intended to be a joke just to show welcoming respect to authority (even if they don’t mean it and even if it is wrong to do so). Their visit to the SOTU address is more about the committees running things than about the players.
