“President Donald Trump said Canada would need to pay $61 billion to join the ‘Golden Dome’ system he’s proposed to boost missile defense with space-based interceptors,” Bloomberg reports.

“But the president needled Ottawa by saying he would be willing to protect Canada for free if the nation opted to join the United States, his latest suggestion that the northern neighbor would benefit from being absorbed by the US.”

Applegrove:

does Trump know he can't build the Golden Dome without Canada? That all those soviet missiles aimed at the US are pointed to go over the Arctic and that is where the radar will need to be.

1. Yeah, they will pay for it, just like Mexico paid for the wall and China paid tariffs

Another dumb lie.

2. Please let this nightmare end................

3. This program is just a gift to Musk

It will never work.

4. I hope Canada tells Trump to take his Gold Dome and shove it where the sun don't shine.

5. Let's just say there isn't ever going to be any golden dome.

They can't even get the Air Traffic Control system sorted out.

Even if it was technically feasible (its not) they haven't got the actual money to do it anymore.

6. There will be no dome, but that won't stop Trump from stealing as much $$ as he can for it.

9. That worthless fraud Anduril place in Costa Mesa

Is salivating about getting a piece of this.

They would piss that money away with no results in no time.

10. The crooks and con artists are lining up as we speak for the Gold Dome boondoggle.

7. He only has the Mercator maps that make Greenland and Canada look much bigger

than they really are, which is why he wants them. On a Mercator map it looks like Russian missiles would have to head west-southwest to hit the US, but in fact they'd go over the Arctic and over Canada. His stupid Golden Dome is useless without making Canada part of it - assuming it's even technologically feasible in the first place, which it isn't.

8. "Star Wars" again, another boondoggle for the industrial military complex

Similar minds think alike

14. "Nuclear pumped laser space based weapons"

How much goddamn money was spent on that fraudulent shit?

11. Canada just called. They will be sending,...

...pResidunce Donnie a $61billion dollar check in the morning to cover their portion of the costs of the Goldern Dome Anti-missile Defence System.

Canada like Mexico takes their bill paying obligations seriously. Mexico had their payment in the mail the very next day to cover the entire costs of the coast to coast security fence to halt illegal immigration in its tracks at our southern border.

Thank you pResidunce Donnie dipshit you are such a wheeler-dealer and run a really tight ship.

12. Without Canada, it's only HALF a golden dome, and Trump can take a flying leap off one.

16. Trump will settle for a Golden Shower

[applegrove]

17. Oh Damn!

[applegrove]

19. Trump is claiming Canada is considering becoming the 51st state

as we think about participation in the Iron Dome. That is bullshit. Trump is just spreading a lie.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

22. You're too good for him

and you have a great country. We'll be allies again I hope.

21. What Canada will consider is the threat it faces from the US versus the threat from anywhere else in the world.

The question would become one of closing the borders or spending $61 billion.

[Jit423]

23. Who is going to shoot at Canada but Trump?

I don't believe the world hates Canada like they hate the US.

[ThoughtCriminal]

24. Doesn't the "Golden Dome" need Canadian radar?

At least for coverage over the North Polar regions
I assume the DEW line is still active.
