The United States ambassador to Canada says Canadians avoiding U.S. travel and banning American alcohol are among the reasons Donald Trump thinks they are “nasty” to deal with.

    For over 100 years we were the best of allies

    It took weeks for him to throw all of that away.

    You don’t declare “economic warfare” on your friends. You don’t threaten to annex them, tell them they’re not a viable country, tell them they’re destined to fall, and still expect friendship.

    And it’s not just Trump to blame. The voters and the entire US government have allowed that behaviour and enabled him.

    If they’re getting upset about our boycotts that just means boycott even harder. They said they don’t need us, now they can see what that’s like.

      Every single person who let crickets be the only response is just as culpable as Drumpfkins. That’s the vast majority of the country. Fuck em. They can have their fascism. Should they come for us many will be waiting.

    Americans, it’s your country. If you want a fascist dictatorship, that’s your business. You want to deport innocent people, that’s your business. You want trade tarrifs, that’s your business. You want Canada to be the 51st state, that’s my business. I’ll show you just how nasty we can be.

      As an American, very well said. Please don’t stop. We are going to hell in a handbasket, please dont join us. The grave our foreparents dug and one current generations keep on digging, it is entirely fair to spit on us in our grave and not be drug in.

        Seems like Americans are the sensitive ones. We were threatened and we’ve taken reasonable actions.

        ah yes, the definition of sensitive: simply refusing to do business with a country that wants to invade you

        It’s not that we’re sensitive. But if you know any Canadian history, what Americans laud as ‘manifest destiny’ has always been a threat to Canada. Hell it’s the reason Canada exists in the first place. So it’s not like Trump just pushed one of our buttons. Unknowingly, he pushed the button.

    If you pay attention, “Nasty” is very consistently his go to word for anyone who opposes or stands up to him.

    Nasty? Glad to see that you’ve noticed. We tend to be nasty when people mock and threaten our sovereignty and then actively try to destroy our economy. Try to escalate and see how much nastier it will get you cowardly child rapist.

    There’s nothing “nastier” than a bully that treats his closest ally and trade partner like shit. So, Trump can go fuck himself.

    Boycott strengthens further in response.

    You don’t need us so stop demanding our attention!

    So the racist, aggressively homophobic, hate-based fascist who illegally funded foreign political candidates is upset?

    Seriously, look up Pete Hoekstra if you want to get angry. The man is a piece of shit in the highest degree.
