Canada as a part of the US? (1 Viewer)

[Hamish Howl]

Canadians don't like free speech so they will never want to be part of the US. They prefer to be subjects of their government.

Despite what you may think, Canadians don't actually have freedom of speech

So if someone protests and the government doesn't agree with them, they can be deported or thrown in prison?

Canadian Civil Liberties Union doesn't agree with Justin's hate speech bill.

Online Harms Act (Bill C-63): CCLA Joins Civil Society Call to Separate Parts Two and Three from the Bill - CCLA

On May 7, 2024, CCLA joined a call by civil society organizations, academics and experts to ask the government to separate Parts Two and Three of the Bill so that they may be subject to independent parliamentary consideration.

ccla.org

While CCLA endorses Bill C-63’s declared purposes of upholding public safety, protecting children, and supporting marginalized communities, we are of the view that this Bill, in its current form, enables blatant violations of expressive freedom, privacy, protest rights, and liberty. It also undermines the fundamental principles of democratic accountability and procedural fairness by granting sweeping powers to the new Digital Safety Commission.

To the bolded, that's an understatement! I'm reading more on this bill now, noticed this article from the source you posted earlier in the thread. Holy smokes! Life in prison???

Against my better judgement, I clicked on that link, and it reads like Kid Rock converted to Randism.

Source is garbage.

But you knew that.

 

[Callen]

Khalil violated the requirements not to support terrorist organizations while a resident alien. Applicable law in post 34 but I'll repost for you.

That is for a court to decide......not Trump and certainly not you

 

[ElChupacabra]

If you are on a visa or resident alien, there are certain rules you have to follow. One of those is not supporting terrorist organizations like Hamas.

8 U.S. Code § 1227 - Deportable aliens

8 U.S. Code § 1227 - Deportable aliens​

(4)Security and related grounds
...
(B)Terrorist activities
Any alien who is described in subparagraph (B) or (F) of section 1182(a)(3) of this title is deportable.

8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens

www.law.cornell.edu

8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens​

(B)Terrorist activities
(i)In generalAny alien who—
...
(IV)is a representative (as defined in clause (v)) of—
(aa) a terrorist organization (as defined in clause (vi)); or
(bb) a political, social, or other group that endorses or espouses terrorist activity;
(V) is a member of a terrorist organization described in subclause (I) or (II) of clause (vi);
(VI) is a member of a terrorist organization described in clause (vi)(III), unless the alien can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the alien did not know, and should not reasonably have known, that the organization was a terrorist organization;
(VII) endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization;

This case is full of holes, made worse since they have nothing in evidence to tie him to supporting HAMAS. Of course this is all in the context of those who conflate Pro Palestinian supporters with HAMAS, since they are not often the same thing. The organization he was with (CUAD) is not aligned with HAMAS either.

So just for the record, you are against laws that:

The legislation is mostly focused on protecting minors against online sexual abuse, extortion and exploitation, which have seen a sharp increase in recent years. In a span of a decade, RCMP National Child Exploitation Crime Center reports have increased by 1,077 per cent.

It aims to force social media, user-uploaded adult content and live-streaming services to reduce exposure to online content deemed harmful.

That is pretty disgusting, regardless of political leanings. I have no issues locking up pedophiles for life if that is what it takes to protect children.

You're goddamn right I'll defend that.

 

[Helix]

It isn't going to happen. It would be a backlash disaster.

 

[RaleBulgarian]

An interesting concept, that.

Should President Donald Trump pull it off, Canada has a population roughly the size of California.

The people of Canada, from the present evidence, do not in general look upon President Trump
favorably.

Canada, then, would vote for Democratic legislators and that party's nominee for President.

President Donald Trump, should he be able to annex Canada, will end Republican Party influence
for a generation or more.

Regards, stay safe 'n well . . . informed.

Staying informed includes recognizing the preposterousness of Traitor Trump’s desire to annex Canada.

 

[RaleBulgarian]

Yes, Canada would benefit, globalists would benefit and leftists would benefit. But they all disapprove because trump thought of it.

Every person with a properly functioning cerebrum laughs at Traitor Trump’s purely idiotic idea.

The orange shit stain is an embarrassment to our country.

 

[Evilroddy]

Canada as part of the USA? No thank you; we prefer living in a country of sane people (for the most part).

Be well, be safe and be warned.
Evilroddy.

 

[Metric Mouse]

Donald Trump is literally the only American who wants Canada to be a part of the United States.

No one else wants them. Like, not even a little.

 

[BabaVoss]

Canadians will never go for it.

 

[Grand Mal]

And our resident Canucks will defend it till the cows come home.

Oh, we don't defend anything. We just say we have no ****ing interest in ever becoming Americans. Or even anything vaguely similar to Americans.
And we don't give a crap about defending anything you drag in here. That'll just end up in a whataboutfest. And you'll lose.

It isn't going to happen but just for fun supposing it did; Canada is not as Progressive as the left likes to think. There are many conservatives up there. They are as divided as we are in America. It wasn't Progressives blocking cities with their trucks.

I feel badly for the people of Canada. They live less free than we do. They live under an oppressive gov that freezes their bank accounts (among other things) when they dare to stand up for themselves.

 

[Allan]

There are many conservatives up there.

There are. And the Conservative Party supports universal healthcare, women's reproductive rights and gun restrictions.

 

[Airyaman]

Yeah, we want to be part of that!
At long last I'll be able to carry a handgun hidden under my jacket when I go shopping. I'll feel SOOO much safer being American.
And just think of all the government agencies that'll be able to arrest us! City police and RCMP? Hell, when we're Americans we won't even know the names of them all! Land of the free!

 

[Sweden]

Canadians would disapprove because we're not interested.

Any modern western democracy would find the idea of joining the US laughable.

Your country is quite ****ed up compared to the rest of the developed world.

Just seen a clip o Carney saying "Canada will never, ever be part of America in any shape or form". Someone should tell this fool that there is no such country as "america".

 

[Allan]

Shorthand. It's what we call it here.

 

[Peter]

Yes, Canada would benefit, globalists would benefit and leftists would benefit. But they all disapprove because trump thought of it.

Canadians disapprove because they want to stay as a free nation and not as part of the US.

This may stun you but most people around the world call the USA, America.

It's kind of sweet that you imagine Trump would have any intention of letting his new Canadian subjects vote for anything.
