RE: Canada as 51st State

wwwiebe in #pimp • 2 months ago

Honestly, I don't know the current political climate in Canada, but I do know that we're suffering some issues down here. The foundation for eroding rights is being laid. Donald Trump has already signed an executive order the he alone is the final arbiter for how laws are to be interpreted. We know, of course, that belongs to the courts; we also know he has indicated that he will flout court decisions if it pleases him to do so. Trudeau, at least, has volunteered to step aside. Hopefully the damage hasn't been done, or is repairable.

That said, for some time I have thought that it is inevitable - and would benefit everyone - for a strong North American economic union. I don't know exactly how that would look, but I think at least a shared currency, at least, will need to happen.

(as an aside, I'm looking at housing in the Calgary - Edmonton corridor, as well as Chilliwack (my birthplace!), and St John, NB)

Trudeau has done no such thing. He was pushed out of his party and will be replaced with a WEF plant ... Freeland and/or Carney. I had not heard that Trump signed such a order ... TBH that sounds Establishment/Corporate media spin to me. Where did you hear that? Can you supply a link? If he has actually done such a thing; it needs to be addressed ... if it is spin ... it needs to be unspun.

Well, true, that. At least he left, and without causing a constitutional crisis.

You're right, citations are needed. This is the executive order: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/ensuring-accountability-for-all-agencies/

This is the key paragraph:

The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President’s supervision and control, shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch. The President and the Attorney General’s opinions on questions of law are controlling on all employees in the conduct of their official duties. No employee of the executive branch acting in their official capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the President or the Attorney General’s opinion on a matter of law, including but not limited to the issuance of regulations, guidance, and positions advanced in litigation, unless authorized to do so by the President or in writing by the Attorney General.

On the surface it isn't as damning, perhaps, as I had indicated, but it's pretty serious, in my mind, to think that only the President and Attorney General are allowed to interpret the law for the entire executive branch. It's particularly alarming since he is also consolidating previously independent departments to branches within the executive.

I imagine this came about from the bureaucracy/DEMS/NEOCONS doing their best to block the work of DOGE, lower level judges preventing the opening of books. Trump is restating he is the elected head of the executive branch and not the bureaucracy; he is the elected head of the government and not department heads ... or Susan from payroll. He was elected and whether some of us like it or not ... is the people's representative ... he has the will of the majority of the electorate to run the executive branch for the next 4 years.

There must always be checks on power; I agree; but DOGE is supplying a major audit to the government and corporate/neocon media is spinning it as though they are cutting off social security cheques and firing air traffic controllers. Not happening. No, they are uncovering money laundering and vast corruption. For example ... Remember when Penn 'gave' his Oscar to Zelensky ... he was paid 5 million for the visit and Angelina was paid 20 million for her visit to Ukraine ... these payments came from USAID; and people are thinking DOGE is cutting off famine aid ... they are not. There are some pretty grotesque science/animal torture funded to the tune pf 100 millions; Pfizer, AP, and Reuters got funding.

As far as I am concerned, the jury is still out wrt to Trump; but the DNC and old guard RNC are VERY corrupt; I think it is very important to get the other side of the picture. Seek it out ... I mean if you have the stomach for it. DOGE is on the way to finding TRILLIONS of stolen and misspent money ... as a social democrat ... that angers me. But Elon doesn't anger me for uncovering it or lifting up his arm at a certain angle ... that was propaganda spin.

Trillions is a lot of healthcare and education that we could have had. A lot of money taken form everyday, hard-working tax payers and given to the already wealthy; meanwhile supposed social democrats virtue signal and distract people with divisive tactics. I am so fed up with the Establishment.

Seriously PPL's TDS makes them mental ... Freeland would make us the next Ukraine ... she thinks we should turn the US and Canada relationship into a cold war. These people are serious war mongers ... because of tariffs and clumsy invite to become a state we are going now pursue nuclear armament?
