Seems Carney is negotiating ...

Canada is in talks with the U.S. about President Donald Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defence plan, the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed Tuesday, shortly after Trump claimed Canada “has called us and they want to be a part of it.”

“To that end, the Prime Minister and his ministers are having wide-ranging and constructive discussions with their American counterparts. These discussions naturally include strengthening NORAD and related initiatives such as the Golden Dome.”

No thanks. Fuck off with your low-key threats and extortion. This clown needs to learn how to read the room. We want nothing from this asshole.

It’d be rad if he killed himself.

Wait… is he going to pee on us?

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 36 minutes ago

He can try but we're closer to the north pole, it would just fall back and hit him

There will be strings attached. Many, many strings. The best strings. Beautiful strings.

We don't want your help anymore. Until you prove to us that you're intelligent enough to choose decent leadership, you can all kindly fuck right out of our country's business. The only country that is actively threatening us is America.

Why would we even need such a system regardless of us current leadership?

You know we do share a northern border with russia right?

[–] small44@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Yes but russia enemies ia the usa and europe not us. The biggest chance of getting invaded is the usa and not russia

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 hours ago

Nah, we're okay.

[–] Deadeyegai@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

By this logic it will surely also include Mexico, right? RIGHT??

[–] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 hours ago

It's pretty much impossible for it to not include at least a good part of Canada. Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montréal are all within the margin of error distance/routes to the US for incoming ballistic missiles.

This ain't some iron dome 10km range situation.

[–] Sdes01@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 hours ago

Take that dome and shove it.

[–] Daryl@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago

Right. Trump expects Canada to pay for the bullets that America shoots at us.

Why the hell do we even need such a system?

Because we can sell them sensors and other crap at US military contracting rates and make Lockheed and GE amounts of money for little effort.
