Right, yeah I can agree when it’s put that way. It’s definitely an interesting situation to say the least

To be fair, I do think it’s a bit different than a coup. If strong evidence comes out that the election was tampered with (which I could believe) then I’d call it a coup, but as it stands right now, it’s more like the American people voted to try a dictatorship political system out
Coup implies hostile takeover but Musk & Co. were just handed the reins to the US government
Yeah trucks should be work vehicles. It’d be like getting upset about a scratch on your hammer
Older Teslas- no, Cybertrucks - absolutely yes.
Everyone who bought a Cybertruck knew exactly the kind of person they were buying from and made that concious choice
I can imagine we’d end up with a bigger army than the US if Canadian service guaranteed citizenship
I don’t think it could be any more American
because most people didn’t bother voting
You say this like it doesn’t reflect just as bad as those who did vote for him
I have plenty of issues with Trudeau, but I think a lot of people are going to miss him more than they expected once he’s gone. He just has a way with Trump and other leaders
Don’t get me wrong, I’d expect the US to occupy us very quickly, but it would take a very long time for things to calm down
Edit: also its incredibly insane that this is a conversation we’re even having?

even though it would shift things left, which he hasn’t thought about and likely won’t acknowledge
I keep hearing this and, ignoring the fact that it annoys me that we’re even entertaining the idea of annexation, it doesn’t make much sense. For one, there’s no way we’d be given the right to vote; And two, Canada will be a bombed out warzone for the far foreseeable future. It’s more likely the USA will break apart before Canadians accept being American. Even if we pretended that we wouldn’t call on NATO for help, Canadians would go guerrilla until the last Canadian is standing
I think Americans underestimate the level of pride Canadians take in not being American.
~rural Alberta is a different story though~
No sorry I think you’re mistaken. Canada is a national security threat
The only countries capable of doing that are already getting exactly what they want
Agreed, it carries very little weight
But I’ve been told by American lemmy users that it’s not serious and that it’s just a distraction, and that I’m a moron for taking it seriously
That was a good week :(
Can I ask why?
is it ok to treat non trans kids for gender affirming care
Absolute yes, puberty blockers weren’t even invented for trans kids. Early puberty is a thing and a problem that’s treated using puberty blockers, the same that a trans person would use.
Gender affirming care for minors doesn’t mean surgery. I’m not sure if you’re under the impression that’s what this is banning but if it is, it’s wrong.
What this is banning, and what every similar ban is banning is things like puberty blockers which are reversible and are only effective before puberty (obviously). Preventing or delaying puberty is REALLY important because it makes fully transitioning infinitely easier later on as adults.
All bans like this are doing is making the lives of trans people much harder under the guise of “preventing unreversible operations” when that’s not even what they’re banning.
France is only a meme if you know nothing about history, and assuming you’re American (as if that isn’t extremely obvious) that sounds about right
