Canada: Ranks #5 in the world for quality of life.

USA: Ranks #22 and going down.

Trump : "NOT FAIR, I WANT CANADA DOWN THERE WITH US!"

Elbows up.

What's the ranking system you're referencing? Curious how the US is even that high up. I feel like the existence of "medical bankruptcy" alone should put us below most nations. Except for all the ones we invade or fuck over with sanctions/embargos.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I just picked whatever article showed up in a quick web search. It seems to vary depending on what the criteria is.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah. There are so many awful ones. Like ones that favor "economic freedom" heavily. Which basically just boils down to the freedom of employers to exploit their employees.

Canadians can't wait to sleep with guns under our pillows!

Bro that’s fucking insane 38% of republicans favour annexing Greenland I have zero fucking patience for this shit

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 40 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They just go along with whatever Dear Leader tells them. If he said he doesn't want it anymore they'd change their answer immediately.

This podcast goes into great detail what a shitty, shitty person Trump is, literally just by telling his story, not even on the attack.

[–] Cruxifux 1 points 3 days ago

The dollop did a good one on him too

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

51% of Americans are either for the annexation or don't care.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 days ago

"Not Sure" is not the same as don't care. A lot of users on YouGov don't care about the quesioneer though, which is another thing. They would just answer "Not Sure" to all questions to quickly get their bonus points.

Give it a few more months of Fox News and internet trollbot propaganda.

Elbows up.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I'm an American and I'm flabbergasted at seeing this. I wonder if those republicans can even find Greenland on a map. Or even Canada.

Do I live in some weird bubble (SF bay area) and everyone else outside of my county is batshit insane?

[–] stickyShift@midwest.social 11 points 5 days ago

SF Bay area is about as bubble as you can get

[–] CowsLookLikeMaps@lemmy.ca 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The meme is the US state ;) We still love our neighbours in the USA who stand with us against fascism.

man it's wild that dude might be the most hated man in politics right now on account of the right hating him for being part of the Zionist Occupied Government and the left hating him for giving the right reason to think there's a Zionist Occupied Government

it's not all a conspiracy against jews, chuck. some of us are jewish and hate you for sucking shit

43% in favour or unsure of a hostile takeover of your long time ally and trading partner???

I dont't think "few americans in favor" is the correct headline here.

"Nearly 1 in 5 americans support an unprovoked war against an ally" sounds more accurate

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

That’s not the question asked and I really wish it had been. “Canada becoming americas 51st state” could easily be a peaceful, friendly transition (especially because a lot of people have been brainwashed into thinking the US is objectively the best country, so who wouldn’t want to join it?).

At least “annexing” implies force. I want to know how many Americans want to use force against our closest allies.

[–] monarch@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

shitty poll questions get shitty results. I almost want to go into polling just to try and influence it to have better questions.

[–] kmaismith@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Do it! Just go in there and fuck that shit up

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

Mainfesting our destiny is an american tradition.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago

lol .... when has American government ever listened to majority concerns of the population they claim to represent?

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Canada is like that one player in Catan that wants to make sure everyone has what they need and is having a fun time.

USA is like that one player that hoards all of the brick and sells it to you at a 3 for 1.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Unless the other player is indigenous, than Canada will block all their roads

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Murica and Canada are now Homer & Flanders.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Flanders who takes people out on starlight tours

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 26 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Canada hasn't invaded in like 200 years. Better motivate them i guess.

[–] CowsLookLikeMaps@lemmy.ca 24 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Iraq, Afghanistan, pretty much every murican war except for Vietnam, Canada has accepted the USA's calls for help and lost lives as a result.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think they specifically meant that you guys haven't burnt down The White House in a little over 200 years. Seems it's overdue. Elbows up indeed. The majority of us Americans back our Canadian friends and neighbors.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 7 points 5 days ago

That was it.

There is a reason why its a largely undefended border but I guess someone wants to change that.

Think of the job creation! /s

[–] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 days ago

Chrétien told the Americans to go fuck their hat when Bush invaded Iraq for a made up reason and asked Canada to join.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] CowsLookLikeMaps@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Upvoted. This is not a brag. Canada has lost lives in USA's imperialistic wars that we shouldn't have joined in the first place.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

Didn't they also like, create entire new categories of war crimes as well?

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 5 days ago

Which is sad that someone keeps trying them poorly. Almost seems like provocation.

Like come on, its Canada. They have laws (The Apology Act 2009) about the word sorry cause they say it naturally!

Its like how Homer treats Flanders. Dude always helps but Homer gives no respect.

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Trumps rhetoric, if coming from the head of a different country, would be used to justify a drone strike. And it wouldn't even be one people would use as an example of why dronestrikes are bad.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

Better hit the White House and Mar-a-Lago both, just to be sure.

[–] owl@infosec.pub 13 points 5 days ago

Hi diddly ho neighbourino.

[–] Vent@lemm.ee 21 points 5 days ago

As an American, I'd much rather the US become the 11th province. Every Canadian is issued their own Moose and hockey stick, right? Sign me up!

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

With no fucking reason except agent orange said to poison all relations with neighboring countries to hurt America and blame it on dems...
