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

    I get where you’re coming from too, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have that bit of mistrust going on. I feel a similar mistrust towards quite a few Canadians too though, with all the antivax stuff we’ve seen, the trucker convoy, Poilievre being the most popular Conservative leader in a while, and so on.

        OK, are you telling me to fuck off after I expressed some sympathy with your view? And who do you mean by “we” and “your”? But maybe you’re telling Americans to fuck off.

          Also why would I want the sympathy of an American? Crazy idea, but that’s really falling on a Nation of deaf ears right now.

          The self importance of an Americans is insane. You are not #1. You are a bunch of crazies, and need to heal yourselves.

            I’m a Canadian. I’m sympathizing with your view as another Canadian. You’re misreading and being rude.

            The user you are talking to is on lemmy.ca, which is a Canadian instance.

            You are talking to another Canadian

          You were being patronizing… still are.

          How about we move on since nothing productive shall get accomplished here.
