Should the US be annexed by or join Canada as their 14th province/territory ? (1 Viewer)

Protest: no money to feed my family The government punishes me by freezing my bank account.
Work: money to feed my family

I know my choice. Gotta pay those bills.

Fixed that for you.

The fact is, the US government can't freeze someone's bank account just because they are taking part in a protest. (Yet)

If you're protesting, you're not adding to your bank account. Might as well be frozen if you aren't adding to it. Eventually it will dwindle to ZERO and it'll essentially freeze itself.

Yes...assuming they'd even want us. Kind of like adopting a troubled orphan.

Perhaps, but the government shouldn't be doing the freezing.

That happens in Canada...not in the US.

No freedom of speech in Canada.

Why would Canadians want to decrease their quality of life?

Why would any developed country?

We've got healthcare including prescription and dental care, paid parental leave and so much more.

And we're not unique. Most developed (and even some developing) countries have these.

They might learn civility, respect for "others"

After all, we see so many examples of those things from the Canadians on this forum.

Like in William Shatner's proposal for Trump ?

U.S. as the 11th province could be 'the best thing': Shatner jokingly makes a counter-offer to Trump

"I’ve dealt a little in real estate and I’m going to say to Carney, 'Do a real estate deal. Make a counter offer,'" says Shatner.

Incompatible political and legal systems. It wouldn't work.

It would be like trying to merge China and America.

You're sure doing a lot of whining for someone who constantly complains about drama from Canadians.

I would weigh that against the comments made by Righties on here any day.

Haaaar! You have a real OCD talking about those idiot truckers who were breaking the law with the very real suspicion they were being funded in part by American sources. .

So called protest

When there is suspicion of a crime being committed, funds are frozen in the U.S. Indeed they can even be confiscated if a crime is proven It's called "asset forfeiture".

I will resort to excerpting the laws because of your tendency to make these outrageous claims about Canada not having freedom of speech due to merely performing the same legal maneuvers the U.S. does.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Law Enforcement Intervention:
  The IRS and other agencies like the FBI can seize accounts on suspicion of being tied to illegal activities, even without formal criminal charges. This often involves using asset forfeiture laws, allowing law enforcement to keep a share of seized assets.
  
  
• Bank Actions:
  Banks can also freeze accounts if they suspect suspicious activity, like money laundering or fraud. They may do this voluntarily, especially in cooperation with law enforcement, to help recover assets or investigate potential crimes.
  
  
• Court Orders:
  A court can order a bank to freeze an account as part of an ongoing investigation or legal proceedings.
  
  
• Potential Consequences:
  Frozen accounts can cause significant inconvenience, making it difficult for individuals to access their money and conduct normal transactions. They can also affect business operations and cash flow.
  
  
• Examples:
  The FBI's Financial Crimes Section works with banks to flag accounts that appear illicit and encourages them to voluntarily freeze them. This can help recover stolen assets and compensate victims of fraud.
  
  
• Legal Considerations:
  While voluntary freezes can be helpful, they can also raise concerns about potential violations of the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures, according to MoneyLaundering.com.

Important Note: It's crucial to understand that account freezes are not always permanent. Once the investigation or legal proceedings are resolved, the account should be unfrozen.

Unlike with Canada becoming part of the US, the US has nothing to gain by becoming part of Canada.

How about manners? I've got more but you probably can guess them on your own.

 

[btthegreat]

Oregonians and Washingtonians may think we have a similar culture but one look at our political system and laws and they'd be running back to America right quick.

I don't worry about 'culture'. That's very adaptable. Which laws do you think I would dislike so much? As far as your political system, I personally don't care if I get the right to vote, but my kids would probably want to participate in your 'political system' if they were citizens. You know we are capable of learning and adapting. I could remember to call Oregon a territory or a province whichever you like. Just come on down and turn Oregon into one giant resort just as Trump threatens to do with Gaza.

 

[quip]

LOL, what exactly does Canada gain by becoming part of MAGA land?

Guns....rugged individualism and.....guns.

 

[Allan]

We're a monarchy to begin with. That's a non-starter I would think.

The other line in the sand is very strict gun laws. You can't buy a handgun here.

Show me how to bow, and how low to go! As for guns. I would be delighted to live in a country without a second amendment. Those guns are bad news. We kill a lot more people than elk with them. Those Oregonians that feel differently can move to Idaho.

 

[Mycroft]

Right. "breaking the law"

Only in Canada, where there is no right to free speech and where the government can freeze bank accounts.

Like I said...the US has nothing to gain by becoming part of Canada.

 

[btthegreat]

I want a federal govt that can function. Ours cannot.

 

[btthegreat]

If Canada provides sufficient free speech that it can sustain multi-party elections and candidates, I will be happy.

I do like a little porn now and then over the internet, but I could survive without if Canada is anti-porn

View attachment 67569419...i gotta find some more of these graphics to post; you will understand this one by reading between the Lines, so far nobody has.

but they will

I did. I read something you posted about a month ago. I understand what they're claiming. I agree it sounds disastrous.

I'm not sure Trump is capable of the organization and logistics that would let him accomplish it. I'm saying I acknowledge the potential possibility, but pragmatically I don't think they're capable of a new regime order.

 

[justoneman]

Yes Canada should annex the US. That way I can have my opinions expressed on the forum shut down and I can get a thought police visit. Maybe have my bank accounts frozen like the trucker protestors. I can also have the opportunity to have a two year wait for a minor surgery to get scheduled. Its going to be great.

well yeah, and that has been me jumping up and down on the Soap Box screaming at the sky for 2 months of this Rolling Disaster

I'm not sure Trump is capable of the organization and logistics that would let him accomplish it.

ok, fair enuf.

well let me introduce a few more Arm Twisting tools; and they do intend to twist both of your arms off and anything else that falls off in the process...

Soap, i have been throwing out one of the tools they will use: CBDC without much for you all to hang onto. so i went to work tonight scraping up a few things that the Oligarchs at the WEF are planning for yur financial future. (they like controlling everything you have, as you may soon figure out. or maybe not, some here will never understand this and i get that)....





i need to define what the WEF is and why they are Relevant to the discussion. but i don't care to answer Every Question in just one post. safe to say that the Billionaires who run the World basically use the WEF as their Road Map to world conquest and control. call it what you will.

I'm saying I acknowledge the potential possibility, but pragmatically I don't think they're capable of a new regime order.

Soap, i don't show you all the Tools in their box, but they are quite capable of New Regime change any hour of the day. the Orange Monarch was engineered to run the show currently in the dee cee White Home, but he is easily replaceable.

this really is a 5 hour discussion depending on what people understand; i have been studying this for decades and get my queues from those who do politics/political science. they assure me this is the Trajectory of the future.

so we will watch it all Unravel in time.

Then you just need the invite from a couple of governors after a couple of initiatives pass and Oregon and Washington can be yours.
