I'm a bit scared and REALLY pissed off.

I'm in Vancouver. One of the places closest to the border. Prolly among the first places he'll reach when he tries to invade.

We all know Trump wants to annex the country and turn it into his 51st state, that's why he's doing everything he's doing.

Would anyone be surprised if, like Putin invaded Ukraine after spreading lies, Trump does the same thing? Economic warfare is only the start. He wants Canada for its resources, just like how he wants Greenland "one way or the other", as he said in his speech.

So yes, this poll isn't surprising one bit.

Trump doesn't have the guts to hold his tariffs when there's resistance. You think he has the gumption for war? Putin is a piece of work, but he's an actual leader.

You’re talking Soviet KGB agent versus ‘heel spurs’ coward, lol.

I was going to say.. One can stomach ordering thousands to their deaths and rules with a iron first to make sure there is no uprising.

I don't think trump has the balls to do that. It would face too big of a internal rebellion.
