Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, February 21, 2026

More than a year after U.S. President Donald Trump casually joked about absorbing Canada and repeatedly threatened debilitating tariffs on its goods, many Canadians are convinced their former pals to the south have lost the plot. New results from The POLITICO Poll suggest a lasting chill has settled over the world's former bosom buddies. Americans are rosy as ever about their northern neighbors, but Canadians don't share the love. Their message to America: It's not us, it's you. A large plurality of Canadians (43 percent) see the U.S. as "mostly a threat" to global stability. Another 34 percent say Americans are "sometimes a force for stability, sometimes a threat."

In survey question after survey question, Canadians say the U.S. no longer reflects their values, is more likely to provoke conflict than to prevent it and, as a result, is pushing Canada to consider closer ties with other global powers " including overtures to China that would have seemed unthinkable only a couple of years ago.

The necrotizing orange chomo did that.

Canadian PM Mark Carney recognized the State of Palestine, and like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, said he would honor the ICC arrest warrants for alleged war crimes, diffused as INTERPOL Red Notices, for Russia President Vladimir Putin and Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Meanwhile Dummkopf Trumpf huckle-yuckle-chuckles with these two pit fiends on US soil and gives them Red Carpet treatment on top of threatening a Star Trekian "absorption" of Canada. And promoting Confederates in Alberta to secede from Canada.

No wonder the Canadians are leery of the US and are probably replaying this song up there: Distant Early Warning

30,000 Canadians volunteered for the US military during the Vietnam War while Republicans Dick Cheney, Dummkopf Trumpf, Dan Quayle, and Mitt Romney all chickened out with deferments or triple-billeting in a USARNG unit. That was how Dan Quayle avoided combat.

At least 134 Canadians died or were reported missing in Vietnam.


And the Canadian government was kind to young Americans who went there to avoid fighting in Vietnam.

Only military deserters were sent back to the US because those names were transmitted globally as fugitives.

America couldn't have asked for a better friend than Canada and Dummkopf Trumpf pissed it all away.
