You want our Govt. to spend $1.3billion without collaborating on what exactly the US wants done? 
Tariffs on Canada delayed for 30 days after talk between Trudeau and Trump. Trump folds.
- Thread starter DesRicardo
- Start date
All they need is a cellphone and a Mark One eyeball! The US will do the rest!Like what, you think people just show up at the border and start working like a temp warehouse job?
Doug Ford got it right?
Ya gotta be kidding.
His whole, "I need a 17-month early, unlegislated for, unneeded, unwanted and unwarranted cynical and self-serving election scheme/caper/bamboozle/con was totally based upon his baseless premise that he needs a new mother of all new mandate majorities so that he can sit down, and faux-negotiate, fraudo-a-fraudo with his equivalent dunce south of the border on behalf of Ontarians who when it comes down to it he could shit all about
Now, that his whole f*cken early election charade has been exposed. WTF is this $3.4billion election and bribe really about, except for personal gain.
I'm a good guy with lots of friends.
trump is an evil man that has many ignorant followers. There is no other explanation as to why they devote their lives to him.
More of why trump loves the poorly educated.
You say that Canada is sending 10,000 troops to the border and your own headline that you posted says that it's Mexico that is sending 10,000 troops.
People who are poorly educated are easier to manipulate. They never learned how to think critically, for themselves.
We're allies but trusy was too busy bashing Trump. In fact his campaign was "do not vote for peepee because he's literally Trump"...welp...
Here we are in a discussion about a US/Canada trade war and you're clearly alluding to the Middle East. You just love being disruptive and derailing threads.
Does Trump stand for any values? He literally stands for Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony and Lust but I am not sure they are values
Trump is little more than a disgruntled preteen girl with a handful of pills at this point. Nobody believes chicken little anymoreSad state of affairs. Only Canadians could be so befuddled to be mad at the leader of another country for putting his country's best interest as his priority. Why do you think they elected him in the first place?Trump's playing chess, Trudeau's playing checkers.
he did fuck up with this blackmail it seems. Nevertheless…
For a dictator to implement Nazi-like policies—meaning extreme authoritarianism, militarization, suppression of dissent, and potentially genocidal policies—a combination of factors is required, not just raw percentage support. However, historical examples suggest a rough threshold of support needed among key societal groups.
Key Considerations:
1. Elite Support (Military, Police, Bureaucracy, Business, Media)
• A dictator needs the backing of the security forces and administrative machinery. Even with only 30-40% popular support, control over these institutions can allow for oppressive policies.
2. Active Loyalist Base
• In Nazi Germany, the Nazi Party never had a majority in free elections. Hitler came to power with about 33% of the vote in 1932 but later consolidated control by outlawing opposition and using force.
• A dedicated 25-35% of the population providing active ideological and logistical support (militias, informants, enforcers) can make up for lack of majority consent.
3. Passive Acquiescence
• Many citizens don’t need to actively support dictatorship; they just need to tolerate or rationalize it. Fear, propaganda, or economic stability can ensure that even if only 20-30% strongly support the regime, another 40-50% may remain passive, unwilling to resist.
4. Suppression of Opposition
• If opposition is crushed early—through censorship, arrests, and fear tactics—the need for majority support diminishes. If 10-20% of the population is willing to openly resist, but the regime neutralizes them quickly, dictatorship can sustain itself even with minority backing.
Estimated Thresholds for a Nazi-Like Regime
• Hardcore Supporters (Ideologically Committed): ~25-35%
• Passive Acquiescence (Going Along to Avoid Trouble): ~40-50%
• Active Resistance (Willing to Risk Lives to Oppose): <20%
Thus, a dictator could enforce Nazi-like policies with as little as 25-35% committed support, provided the rest of society is neutralized through fear, propaganda, or apathy. Majority approval is not necessary—control over key institutions and suppression of dissent are far more critical.
There's too much Trudeau Derangement Syndrome on this board.
I'm more concerned that Apartheid Nazi Elon Musk has control of the US Treasury. He may unseat Jerome Powell replacing him with Lauren Boebert as Chief of the Federal Reserve. I support Doug Ford in terminating the Starlink deal, if he changes his mind I'll campaign against him.
For those of you suffering from TDS, Worf has the solution!
Update: I heard he changed his mind, the Starlinks deal is on...that could cost him the election.
