    The trade war wasn’t against Canada or Mexico or the world … it was directly against the American people and according to the belligerent, the American government is winning.

      Canadian here, sure feels like its against us, especially given the border threats.

      We literally have articles coming out from mainstream outlets talking about guerilla warfare. People here are starting to get rabid.

      I don’t think your dimwitted leaders understand how much the average Canadian resents being forced to deal with america (for decades), the resentment is turning into hatred.

        You are correct. The “leaders” don’t. The majority of Americans are also disillusioned into hating people not responsible at all for the struggles they have to face. The soverignty of nations should be respected, but that hasn’t, historically, been the American way either.

        Relevant song (find it on your preferred streaming service of whatever): https://genius.com/Three-dead-trolls-in-a-baggie-the-white-house-burned-the-war-of-1812-lyrics

        And the White House burned, burned, burned
        And we’re the one’s that did it!
        It burned, burned, burned
        While the president ran and cried
        It burned, burned, burned
        And things were very historical
        And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
        Waa waa waah!
        In the War of 1812!

        Everybody loves Canada. We’ll be cheering you on if you do it again for the lulz 🤣 (until the nukes start flying and the world ends, anyway) But if you want to do something a bit less incendiary, DJI drones aren’t geofenced anymore so maybe dropping a nice Canadian flag 🇨🇦 on top of the white house would make a clear point, with clear historical precedent!

        (Sigh. Please come back to your senses soon, USA.)

      according to the belligerent, the American government is winning.

      And according to objective reality, the American government is being destroyed by a traitorous enemy agent and an unelected kleptocrat.
