In other words, some Republican senators still want to insert the knife into Caanda, to drain our lifeblood, but they want it done compassionately.

“We still love you as much as ever” said senator Tim Kaine.
And we love you as much as ever - but it has never been as much as you think.
Canada and Canadians have always harboured a quiet, seething resentment towards the US - even as our snowbirds have flown south in the winter and we’ve greedily bought crap on Amazon. As proud as we are of Canadian musicians hitting the big time, we’re slightly bitter that we spend more time listening to American content.
I think it’s fair to say that we’ve always - at least in my 50+ years of awareness - felt the pressure of living next door to a ten-ton behemoth that fills our every waking moment just by merely leaking across the border.
And now the dam has broken. Trump has made things so unbearable that we finally have the resolve to break free. It’s going to be tough, it’s going to hurt for a number of years, we’re going to suffer financially in the short-mid term, but I’m confident that we’re going to do it. We will not allow ANY country or trading partner to control our destiny as much as the US has done since 1959.
So thanks for the love, but I’m afraid we’re still getting out of this toxic relationship.
