While Canadians are using “elbows up” diplomacy with the white house, they are welcoming U.S. tourists with open arms.

    I’m with the OP and don’t think it needs or deserves explanation.

    Fix your county before we all die. Nobody outside can do it for you.

    He’s going to fucking invade counties soon. Oops, sorry, America is going to invade countries soon, including Canada.

      so the latter it is!

      remember, after WW2 victims of the Nazi régime were still victimized for being German for decades even though many were children or had zero control over their nation at the time.

      the path to fascist control is paved with prejudiced stones.

      by the way, have you stopped to think that you might be doing exactly what Trump wants you to do by spreading fear and hate against all Americans indiscriminately?

        My German grandma’s family immigrated to Canada right after WW1 and that’s what they faced. She lost her language, and even if I asked her questions about Germany she would just turn away from me and not answer.

        She never cooked German food either … it was all Swedish for my grandpa.

        Trump is still in power, right now, at this very moment. If you feel helpless in the face of what’s going on, that’s one thing, but what is being talked about isn’t some bygone era of days past. It’s the literal present.

            My point wasn’t that I had a step-by-step comprehensive guide to solve everything from the moment that you read these words, my point was that the analogy of “sins of the father” doesn’t work because 70 percent of the current living electorate looked at fascism and either were completely apathetic to it or actively sought it out. There are very legitimate reasons why Canadians are not going to be fond of Americans now and for some time to come. The threat of annexation is both real and current.

              …my point was that the analogy of “sins of the father” doesn’t work because 70 percent of the current living electorate looked at fascism and either were completely apathetic to it or actively sought it out.

              70% of the 100% who voted, yes. Only 70% of Americans voted. I can’t excuse the 30% though, I even publicly called out those who refused to or just didn’t vote.

              my point being, treating every American like an enemy will only foster more hate and animosity.

              The threat of annexation is both real and current.

              yes it’s real, always has been though. the truth is, your actions and emotions have been compromised by a megalomaniac in another country. one madman, I might add, that can’t seem to make a choice on to tariff or not. the orange shitstain can’t even decide on which countries will get the highest tariffs.

              so yes, the threat is real that Canada can be invaded. I wouldn’t put much stock in it until he makes a choice to shit or get off the pot though. let your government worry about it, it seems they still have their shit together.

              personally, I’m staying in the US until my wife or kids are targeted. I’d like to bring them to Canada and come back to fight for my family that remains and for the hope that we can restore the order.

              I cannot fight though, if I’m worried about my wife and kids and that’s if they’re here or there. so please, when the time comes, please be a good neighbor and return the same kindness my family shares with you.

            Rebel, revolt and kill those in power is a good starting point.

            I think we are clear on this.

            We can’t invade you, so take care of your own shit.

        Then get rid of him, so we can begin the looooooooooooooooong road towards healing this completely fractured relationship.

        We only deal with what is, which is all of America is our enemy now. You know we are preparing for an invasion right?
