OTTAWA — It’s the world’s most awkward breakup.
More than a year after U.S. President Donald Trump casually joked about absorbing Canada and repeatedly threatened debilitating tariffs on its goods, many Canadians are convinced their former pals to the south have lost the plot.
New results from The POLITICO Poll suggest a lasting chill has settled over the world’s former bosom buddies. Americans are rosy as ever about their northern neighbors, but Canadians don’t share the love.
Their message to America: It’s not us, it’s you.
Canadians don’t see Trump’s America as merely an annoyance, the survey found. They consider the superpower next door the world’s greatest threat to peacetime.
It will be really hard to be friends again when at least 70 millions USA citizens voted for this in 3 different occasions. And only a few did a thing to prevent it.
Going back to USA would be like a spouse who keeps going back to an abusive partner.
I hope we improve our friendship with the rest of the world for some peace of mind.
As far as I’m concerned, the US’s do-nothing “resistance” is a bigger problem than the MAGA trash.
I have tired of hearing how many voted for him. How many did anything to stop him? How many are doing anything now?
That is what matters. Lines have been crossed.
