William Shatner says that the US should join Canada following Trump's 'insulting' comments

[BlueWavePsych]

Star Trek legend William Shatner has hit back at Donald Trump’s continued interest in making Canada part of the United States, claiming the president’s comments are “insulting”.

“At a certain point, persistence becomes insulting,” said the 94-year-old. Shatner also joked that Carney should make a counteroffer to Trump and offer the US the chance to become Canada’s 11th province. “Think of the joy! And it’s the best thing,” said the star.

Shatner added: “Here you have a friendly group of people saying, ‘Come on over. It’s cleaner, there’s plenty of power, there’s some lovely people who want to work with you. Be our 11th province!’”

On Friday (9 May), he wrote: “To all of you wonderfully dear naive & gullible types out there whom I love so much… If you are angry about my posts on the US becoming a Canadian province: imagine how Canadians felt when an actual leader of a friendly neighbouring country floated that idea across the border. Doesn’t feel good; does it? Learn a lesson from it.”

4. Believe me, if I could spearhead a seccesionist movement to join Canada, I would have done so already!

I was already embarrassed the FIRST time this shit head son of a worthless whore was installed in the Oval Office. This second time around has just convinced me that the 27-30% of people who still love this shit head (hardcore imbeciles that are the 45% of the approximately 50% of all Americans and their accomplices) are putid puddles of amphibian piss and I'd sooner call them ANYTHING but countryman or friend any longer or ever again.

If we have a natural disaster, I watch the footage hoping to see wrecked property festooned with Trump regalia and signs. If we have a depression, I am going to put out a sign that says "hiring, MAGA need not apply". I hate them and him and what has been done to this nation as a result. I am sick to my stomach that both the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the 25th commenoration of 9/11 will occur under his administration.

Oh, Canada! I always did like their anthem too...

Don’t think so Bill, as Alberta took a lot of these Texas oil workers in when they found tons of oil laying around and they stayed and help develop that resource. I don’t think we need anymore Right wing bigots up here

will ensure we are "cherished"

8. In the words of another captain, "Make it so."

I relatively recently found out, thru Ancestry.com, that most of my maternal grandmother's family were born and raised in Canada, except for her. Her parents, both her siblings, her grandparents and further back. Her father's occupation in census records is listed as farmer, and the speculation is that the family may have moved about seasonally helping with harvests.

I wish I knew more about this. She was born in 1894, so there's no one left to ask.

I also wish I could claim Canadian citizenship.

22. Good one!

I think the tribbles would have turned actively hostile in the presence of Agent Orange like they did to the Klingons, being they are very perceptive creatures and good judges of character, or lack thereof! 😎

13. Partially. The Jesus Land Confederacy can go its own way. . . . . nt

[Karasu]

15. And we all know they would. Red states would absolutely refuse to accept this.

Sucks for the Democratic minority in those states, sure, but...they're kind of fucked in this scenario (or well, most all scenarios, unfortunately). The leadership in those states would sooner secede and/or form a second Confederacy before they went along with it.

16. I Agree With Shat

I'll take Tim Hortons and health care any day! I'm not so big on hockey, but I could learn to love it.

18. SO the red shirt crowd will be going down first including Don, Jim, Paul, MTG, and Mitch to scout for trans alien life?

We chilling up here waiting until the hundreds of loads of red shirts radio ahead that there are no issues.

19. Captain o' Captain

What a splendid idea. Pacific Northwest and Northeastern States can annex into Canada. Maybe I-80 up?

Red States can stay and form the Republican Utopia of factory serfdom, two dolls and five pencils, with all the higher crime rates, drug rates and overdoses, suicide rates, obesity and overall health issues and lower education and life expectancy they already enjoy in the Red States!
