EARLY ACCESS: Canada: The 51st State?
Added 2025-01-03 17:00:15 +0000 UTCVIDEO LINK: https://youtu.be/-LWmGBNTzYU
Hey everyone, it's Early Access Day, AND it's the first video of the New Year! And it's very clear that I haven't learned a single thing over the last... well, 15 years really, as I start it off with something political! But, if you find yourself annoyed with political takes right now, don't worry, this is, at its heart, a pretty light-hearted comedy video. Enjoy!
Incoming President Donald Trump has decided to play a little hardball with his biggest trading partners, threatening tariffs on Canada and Mexico if they don't secure their borders. BUT, he's also offered another solution for his Northern Neighbors: just become the 51st State! Buckley looks at the supposed joke (that he keeps repeating, while also telling other countries he wants their land) and has a few of his own, mostly about how Canada would be a TERRIBLE state! America might want our stuff... but do they really want US?!

Hearing Trump speak in a normal voice is actually more funny to me for some reason. Like just imagining a normal person talking like that

2025-01-05 21:37:30 +0000 UTCAs much as I'd love to be able to just subscribe to HBO Max properly and to have a dollar that's not worthless when trying to buy stuff online, I think I like being able to go to the doctor and not have to pay a bill after.

2025-01-04 14:51:17 +0000 UTCOnce someone tells him that, I'm sure he'll say he wants to abolish NATO. "Why are we doing this for free?"

2025-01-04 13:25:51 +0000 UTCAlthough I disagree with Trumps reasoning, I do agree with Canada and the US uniting into one country. But I feel like it would make more sense to incorporate each territory as its own state, not the entire country as one state. And Canada's leaders should be intertwined with US's leaders to form a 'hybrid' sort of government. Overall, I think countries uniting and removing borders is a great thing.

2025-01-03 20:47:51 +0000 UTCYeah I've seen some Canadian articles about that, "Canadians should be furious", why? It's never gonna happen, and if it does, we literally could not do a thing about it, they have a much larger military, and honestly? I'd like to be able to get HBO Max instead of Crave, and not pay $80 a month for Internet too!

2025-01-03 17:44:55 +0000 UTCI love it when the liberals are saying we should be offended by the joke, the Americans kept making that joke years. So if Trump says it, that's the straw that broke the camel's back? Shit's ridiculous, eh?
