This is who Danielle Smith is meeting.

Big talk from the dude who got knocked out by a punching bag.
- OMG, how have I have never seen this before!
  
  OMG, how is this posted and referenced on every comment section of his? How did he get pseudo famous with this video in circulation‽
- Also, he likes his moisture state, non existant.

Hell, not even the US wants to be a part of the US under the current dictatorship.

The amount of treason that is openly committed by these people is astounding.
- Is there no law or anything like this in place? Why hasn’t our government called her out on all her actions? She’s suppose to be representing Canada and doing what’s best for Alberta and Canada. She’s literally popping over there and openly committing treason. There’s no other way to see this.
  
  I don't actually think there's a rule against speaking against Canada (nor would most want there be). IANAL, but from a legal perspective I think there'd be a better case for counseling the crime of election interference.

There are genuinely intellectual conservatives but the oligarchic media intentionally prop up pseudointellectuals to further dumb down the population. And I guess it is working.
- Let us all remember that when the Soviet Union fell, they did not end the Cold War, they just changed tactics.
  It's well known that their most effective tactic for destabilizing a nation is to pour resources into boosting both sides of every debate or social issue, this poisons the well so nobody knows what's real and just defaults to whatever the controlling party says is real. It's an astoundingly effective tactic for killing the spread of news and information that people could use to organize, and sowing infighting and distrust between potential oppositional groups.
  They are doing a very similar tactic right now, by boosting absurdism like the whole narrative of an "armed takeover of Canada" as if that's even possibly a thing. Casual browsers know somewhere in the back of their mind that it's absurdism, but they hang on every word because it's sensational.
  This is WWE theater. Like the whole administration since the beginning, it's designed to spin stories to keep dumb fucks engaged and wondering what's going to happen next, simultaneously believing in the stories but also knowing logically it's not true. Literally the same cognitive dissonance that made us have to argue with our friends back in the 90's that no, the World Wrestling Federation is NOT employing actual necromancers, that no, it's not a real sport, no the performers would not be allowed to bring swords and weapons into the ring if it was real.
  USA has no actual intention of taking over countries like Canada and Panama, they just want to make some huge distraction and sensational story, so that when they change interest rates or deregulate some banking laws, nobody will notice. We'll all be here arguing with each other if it's even possible for the USA to "take over" a neighboring nation, with the same earnestness that we used to explain that using a steel chair in a sporting event could be considered disqualifying in normal circumstances.
  This isn't to say the rhetoric isn't dangerous, but what they're doing financially is going to be far more damaging to our actual future in America.

  Under almost any other administration, I’d agree with you, but Trump either isn’t thinking rationally or seriously misunderstands reality; his behavior repeatedly goes against his own interests.
  
  I think you're assuming that Russia is being led by super geniuses that are able to manipulate every possible narrative.
  Russians aren't super geniuses. Trump is certainly not a super genius either. And we saw Putin make the completely stupid move of invading Ukraine.
  Not saying the US will definitely do something like invade Canada. But when a country is run by idiots, we can't really predict anything they might do.
- There are genuinely intellectual conservatives
  There are not.
  Conservatism is ingroup loyalty as a theory-of-everything. They'll invent whatever pretense is necessary to promote the hierarchy of their guys over our guys, because they think that's all there is to reality, let alone all there is to argument. To be a conservative is to be in this form of tribe.
  The smarter ones invent better bullshit. That bullshit tricks people who are not doing performative loyalty. Some of us argue against it, like the answer would change who they're loyal to - some of us argue for it, because 'what the loyalists really mean' is desirable, regardless of the unrelated awful shit they keep doing instead.
  You're describing people who bought and defended the bullshit. Actual conservatives now call them communist traitors. They don't fucking care what they said yesterday. They don't understand why you do.
  Conservatives will abandon any idea, in favor of loyalty. They do not believe ideas. They believe people. If their top guy says the sky is green, you better fucking agree with him, and make up some bullshit to explain why - or you're saying he doesn't belong on top. Disagreement and disloyalty are the same thing, in conservatism. Nothing they do makes sense until you understand this.

Stay strong Canada.

I like how these fuckers are able to just say anything rn

Jews bragging about deportations
Not something I had on my bingo card for 2025, but here we are
- It would be accurate to call him a zionist
- I know right? In what fucking universe did we slip into? That’s like BLM supporting black slaves lmao it’s like our whole world lore is currently being written by 10 year old and their imagination.

Threatening a foreign citizen (and former PM no less) with
Invasion of his home country
Expelling him from that country
Forcing him into manual labor in another country (which also is currently independent)
That is insane, even as a joke.
- As someone else pointed out, Trudeau was the PM at the time of the post so I'd say even more insane.
  
  I find it hilarious that the little bitch-boy thinks he has any ground to speak to a respected world leader who served as PM for just shy of a decade.
  Also, Trudeau in all his good-natured gentleness would absolutely fuck Shapiro up one-on-one.
- It's always "I'm just joking bro" to find the other shitty people who "get the joke" until it's no longer a joke.

And when libtards rise up, you and your dry-wife will be raised up, too.
- And when libtards rise up
  checking the history of Italy from 1919 to 1940
  I cannot find anything in here about liberals rising up. Did you mean... socialists?
  
  Try 1848.
  
  Do you think the right differentiates? That's all I've got to say without become pedantic. That means "being stodgy and strict with rules and definitions", in case you were wondering. /s

She wants to take your health care, and turn it into profit share, and split it up with P-Pierre, and that ain’t fuckin right. She’s turned into a MAGA hag, she’s turned against our Maple Flag, vote against this traitor slag.
- Shes a disgusting human and the worst Canadian. I hate this woman so god damn much
  
  Woah this is misogyny😅
- Lin Manuel Miranda goes Canadian

To "work the canal"? Does this idiot think they row the boats through it or something?
- He thinks they are digging the canal or something. Can't blame him, the american education system is a failure
  
  Ben Shapiro is supposed to be one of the bow-tie wearing, Ivy League educated, violin playing, chess mastering "Smart" conservatives.
- Maybe he imagines that like in the Thames river people open wooden doors by manually turning a crank
  
  That's actually a pretty chill job and, depending on the lock, you might get a nice and free house to live in.

Try it Ben lol you’d be number one on American propaganda hit list. Like what Ukrainians did to Russian propagandists
- Window treatment
  
  Crazy how Ben will threaten a nations leader, but if someone does it back, he will probably cry about it. Nothing applies to these dumb Yanks and Yankaboos
- Lol, you think we have people that are desperate enough yet? I mean they will be, but they're too busy currently justifying egg prices.
  
  Nobody in Russia was desperate to invade Ukraine. But when your country is run by an idiot, any stupid thing is possible.

I don't know how to not say this offensively but he's a jew and would be one of the first to be expelled under fascism lol
- The Jews aren't the Boogeyman of the current palingenetic fantasy, so they'll be largely left alone (unless they protest Israel.)
  
  For now at least. Ultimately, nobody is safe except for the limited in-group.
- Breaking News: Clarance Thomas has just ruled that Justice Thomas is ineligible to serve as a Supreme Court Justice since he is a non-Citizen, due to his status as an enslaved person.
  (wtf is dude doing, being a Black Klansman? 🤔)
- He's one of the good ones. Racist and all

Easy there, Heinrich Himmler

Big talk from Ben "my wife is dry" Shapiro
- Ben "Talking Fast Means I Won the Argument" Shapiro
  
  Ben "I Stole My Sister's Panties" Shapiro
  
  And I that doesn't work I'll just storm off and leave the debate.

It's very clear that the only thing Ben knows about Panama is that it has a canal.
- Apparently not yet, since they send people there to work on it.

And he shamelessly admits that the end goal is state managed slave labour...

Just make sure you're out in front pal, I want to make sure I get a clear picture.

I wonder what the US will do with their Russian shills after this trump nonsense is over. I mean, at some point you gotta recognize traitors that are trying to destroy your country by lying to everyone, or in the case of this turd, yell over everyone with their lies
- At this rate, we're headed for late stage Nazism... The US as even a poor example of a Republic may have ceased to exist on Nov 6th...
  
  Yes and.. the 2016 DNC fuckup was when it escalated. But the momentum started with Reagan and nobody took their foot off the gas until Obama. Centrist dems definitely overcorrected and we ended up with Trump the first time.
- The ol' mussolini
- I can IMAGINE what I think they should do but I probably shouldn't say it.
- When this Trump nonsense is over, the US will become an autonomous region of Russia and there's plenty of space in Siberia for those who disagree.
- Shaving them seems too mild, for people in power who will do it again at the first occasion.

Ben Shapiro, the fascist everybody. At least they aren't kidding it anymore.

PP was all in with Trump and fElon, also… Until shit started going down in the US. He’s a traitor.
- Yea and the whole Trump "He's not my kind of guy" thing screams like a lie to get Canadians to think Skippy isn't affiliated with Trump. But Skippy meeting with the family that owns the largest chain of for-profit hospitals is what scares me the most. If he wins, he'll push either an American system, or more likely a 2 tier system. Either way we get fucked.
  
  Really goes to show you what intellectual level trump is at, if he thinks some school yard reverse psychology is gonna work on another nations government and people hahaha

Maga propagandist: says almost literal Nazi authoritarian shit.
Magoos: We'Re ThE GoOd GuYs!
Me:
- Almoast?
  Imprisoning your political opponents in work camp is peak facist.
  
  No, it was 'almost'
  
  No one is falling out of the windows, so no fascism.

Shapiro needs to break a baseball bat in half and shove it down his throat until he can't see it anymore.
Maybe then he'll be worth listening to.

After we burn down the WH again, your place will be next.
- Hell maybe do it first just for shits and giggles.

When the American civil war starts. I wonder who will have Ben’s trophy on their wall after the conflict.
- America is currently waiting and sleeping through the time when a civil war or attacking the terrorists is possible. Germany would never have escaped the clutches of the Nazis without outside help. The stupid thing about a world power, however, is that once it has reached this status, nothing helps. Technology is now so advanced that it is no longer a problem.
  
  Counterpoint:
  The nazis collapsed not because of foreign intervention but because their ideology held that they were all super special boys and everyone else on the planet was subhumans to be subjugated - same as this administration.
  These guys are duck-ups and what they want to do is either pointless or harmful to themselves.
  
  The nazis also wouldnt have gotten in charge without outside influence
- Nah, let his body rot in the sun, and let the buzzards have a feast.
  
  His corpse in death is as dry as his wife in life
- Can't we all have a piece?
- We need a butt taxidermy contest. Well I assumed it was the butt.

I didn't expect that from Shapiro. I have plenty of criticisms of Shapiro but I did not expect him to threaten the former head of a foreign, Democratic Government, a long time ally. Is this real?
- At the time, that was the current head of a foreign, Democratic government!
- Reset your expectations.
  Not only is this real, he also went on to say that the threat was only valid if PP didn’t win. This is public record and you can verify with a web search on multiple media outlets.
  This is who Danielle Smith pals around with at taxpayer expense.
- Sorry but isn't this the inevitable result of the words and ideals he and other conservative flatulence mouthpieces keep off-gassing? Don't words mean things, and don't those things imply concrete action or intent? Maybe we should have been hearing the intent.
  Personally, I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
- The guy whose video 'the myth of the moderate muslim' resulted in the largest terrorist attack in Canadian history?
  That Ben Shapiro?
  
  The guy who's always been a cryptofascist?
- Dude is a right wing commentator. This is part for the course.

Civil world war!!!! People with souls vs everyone else.
- Ever read anything by Terry Brooks? He had a series of modern fantasy books where the world is basically ending, demons walk amongst us, that kinda thing. Anyway, servants of the void who "sold their soul" were known as Once-Men. As in they were human once, but not anymore. I always found that rather fitting...
  
  What book is this?
  
  Sounds like The Stand. Are they any good?

...Is that not inciting violence?

Ben want to own a slave so bad he's commited to whatever plan Trump is doing

He's wild for that. Never thought I'd see Ben Shapiro go that far. What a nut.

I saw a picture of his sister. She has that same well-practiced smirk
- Is she a piece of shit, too, or just unfortunate genetics?
  
  I'd say fortunate genetics but I have a type
  
  It's the same "I want to make you feel bad" smirk

Ben doesn't realize eventually he's gonna be expelled too.
- Please say from a cannon.
  
  into the sun, right?
- And he'll be getting off lightly.
  
  Maybe he can be sent to El Salvador

They are loosing the rest of their marbles.
- They as loose as they can get. They’re losing them now.
- Loosing where?

So she's committing sedition

Canada, when you take over, please go after our conservatives first and then at least give the rest of us a chance to prove ourselves.
- In combat.
  
  Can we fight with pool noodles and nerf guns?
- Can we stop it with these "when Canada takes over" kinds of jokes please? Canadians don't want to do what the USA wants to do to us and MAGA is scraping for every opportunity to paint us as the aggressor.

Molon Labe motherfucker.

Lol. Normally not Ok with this, but I'll make an exception,

This is the least controversial thing about him.

Seems like a guy Danielle Smith would enjoy.

That's called chutzpah. People who take that strategy in life should be ignored.

Source?
- This took 10 seconds. Quit being lazy.
  https://xcancel.com/benshapiro/status/1876800394900152483
  
  Thanks for the link. Posting a screenshot without a source is lazy and dangerous. It’s unlike that the majority of folks that upvoted this post did any due diligence? It’s more likely that they upvoted because it matched their existing beliefs which just sets this community up for manipulation. We need to do better, especially during an election.
  I’m not trying to be lazy, I’m calling OP out for being lazy. And granted I did not articulate that well at all in my “Source?” comment, so you were right to question my motives 👍
  
  If it took you 10 seconds it could've taken OP 10 seconds to include it in the body.
  
  I cannot search x and don't want to, but I searched this whole thread to find if someone verified the source. I appreciate him asking and you posting it both.
- Clarify what you're asking for so I know if you're a dumbass or not.
  
  I am wanting OP to post the source if they’re posting social media screenshots as the vast majority of people won’t verify the post. It’s also possible that a post gets deleted so providing a link lets folks use tools like way back machine to verify in the future. We should require this level of posts hygiene, especially during an election cycle. I’m trying to teach an OP to fish instead of just looking up the source for them.
  But to be clear, I am a dumbass for many other reasons.
  
  What other than a link to the tweet do you think this could be asking for?
- How about you pull your head out of the sand.
  
  This isn’t helpful, my post was aimed at OP and calling them out for posting a social media screenshot post without a source. This is especially dangerous during an election.

She wants to take your health care, and turn it into profit share, and split it up with P-Pierre, and that ain’t fuckin right. She’s turned into a MAGA hag, she’s turned against our Maple Flag, vote against this traitor slag.
