Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taunted Donald Trump after Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime in the 4 Nations ice hockey competition in Boston.
Trudeau’s viral post, “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game,” came amid ongoing tensions between the leaders.
Trump, who previously mocked Trudeau as “Governor Trudeau” and floated annexing Canada, had earlier imposed tariffs on Canadian produce.
Amid boos of the American anthem and a surge in Canadian nationalism, the rivalry highlights both political and sporting divisions between the nations.
It’s an alright response but I’d hope for some more Canadian made chirping. Next time he should just shout:
Eh? Give your fucking balls a tug.
Fuck you Shoresey
Shoresy 😊
Like trump can find his balls, they’re loose in Musk’s mouth
Would have been a better win without that trump supporting trashbag Gretzky being involved
More leaders should taunt Trump, his toddler responses will make him more unpopular.
I happen to believe his toddler responses are what makes him popular.
It’s only sad if you think about it.
I would’ve thought that would be more aimed towards his own people, as patriotism. Not necessarily a taunt. But. You know. Both are also good.
Honestly probably not a good idea. Trump is petty and vindictive.
You gain nothing from bowing down to or fearing fascists. They should be openly mocked for the weak, cowardly fuckstains they are.
Simply not saying anything isn’t bowing down. Trump is one bad night’s sleep from literally invading Canada.
Further, wounded-narcissism is the primary-motivation behind being a mass-shooter.
Increasing the wounded-narcissism is petty.
It “solves” the wrong problem.
Trudeau proved that he didn’t understand tactics when the counter-tarrifs he put against the US in the last Trump-trade-war were damaging Democrat regions, instead of only tarriffing Republican regions.
I see no reason he would have set-up correct strike-against-the-aggressor tarrifs, this-time.
So, instead he increases Trump’s likelihood of getting more-violent against Canada??
Immaturity cannot be permitted to rule our countries, XOR we are accommodating our rulers to railroad our viability, itself.
( this also indicates that we require a culture of enforcing-all-our-growing-up, instead of the petty MSM culture we’ve allowed to mesmerize all our world, & we need it now. )

He already hates Trudeau and is taking it out on Canada. There’s not a whole lot more he’s going to be able to do without pissing off all his non-russian masters.
Nah Trump hates Canada and Trudeau. He really does want to annex it, the only question is peacefully or not.
The answer is “Not”.
Cowering from bullies doesn’t make them ignore you. It just reinforces that you’re an easy target. You stand ground, and be ready to pop em in the face if they come for you.
You might even get the worst of it, but from then on they know they can’t come for you without having to pay for it.
Lol it’s not cowering. It’s letting Trump get distracted by something else. Lots of people here are 14 and very badass. A literal war is not out of the question and Canada would lose. “What are you going to do, stab me?” - Man that was stabbed. Trudeau would be better to just let Trump get distracted by the next thing.
The fact that a war isn’t out of the question is exactly why we puff ourselves up and look as intimidating as we possibly can. Trump is not simply going to ignore a free meal of all our national resources, but he might give it a pass if he realises we’ll bite back.
Yeah you do that politically and militarily. Not with taunting and snarky hockey comments.
Yeah you do that politically
If the PM saying publically “You can’t take our country” isn’t an example of doing just that, I don’t know what would be.
He’s not going to get distracted from colonial geopolitics. He’s been primed for it for a while which is why he popped the rhetoric first thing. There are other forces in his tyrant cabal who want it too, or at least want the regional destabilization of North America.
We can’t ostrich this one away. Show resolve.
JFC you don’t taunt
a manan idiot who’s holding a fucking knife. You don’t ostrich, but you don’t taunt. Y’all need to learn to not get fucking stabbed.deleted by creator
That is immature, & counter-productive:
Trump’s playing a negative-sum-game, committed to crushing & destroying the world, so-long-as he gets to be “king” ruling it’s destruction, glorying in his “status” & "wealth,
… & amplifying his ideologically-motivated violence against Canada, for stupid childish “status”, is something any woman who survived years of domestic-violence/abuse could have told him, isn’t either wise or intelligent.
Canada NEEDS to replace political-parties with something intelligent, honest, and responsible!
Immediately.

Patriotism at work. Trump does all he can to insult Canada, and if people who govern Canada would allow it, they’d be seen as weak leaders. What they need is to work towards cutting any dependency on USA while defending their country worth.
Also, Trump rules only thanks to his show. Getting bitchslapped like that does hurt him. ^^

you missed the “/s”
If he really wanted to show trump he’d have allied with Mexico to prioritize both their sea trade routes and making a coordinated attempt to close land trade thru America…
Instead he tried to appease fascists, which never fucking works.
As Snotty Nose Rez Kids love to say:
Fuck Justin Trudeau
You want him to upend massive logistics chains for… no real reason. Just so you can say fuck Trudeau.
Independence from fascist demands is possibly the best reason to temporarily hurt your economy. It’s chopping off a gangrenous finger to save your arm.
I get what you’re saying, but exports to the US are close to 20% of Canada’s GDP, so it’d be more like chopping off an arm or two.
… It’s not like there’s transit fees. We’ll see if Trump thinks of that, but it’s also something that can generally be dealt with at the time.
That’s not the kind of thing you can do instantly, and it’s definitely not the kind of thing you do while publicly shouting about it.
My bad, I forgot “moderates” the world over pretend there’s no way to plan ahead and when something happens there’s no time to react properly…
It’s all bullshit, I just forgot a moderate will show up to repeat the same lie.
At least it takes longer on lemmy than other social media.
You have absolutely no clue how any part of our economy works, do you? Even if we could change the rules with a snap of our fingers, it still wouldn’t happen instantly since the actual physical capacity does not yet exist.
it still wouldn’t happen instantly
And if you look up you may be able to catch a glimpse of “the point” waaaaaaaaay up there as it passes over your head.
But your gonna have to ask someone else to point it out next time buddy
Ok but they barely won. Like calm your titties that goalkeeper saved like 10 goals in insane ways
