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.

        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.

        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.

        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.

            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?
