every time I say anything negative about the US one of you nasty weasels shows up and all you can do is deflect, deflect, deflect because you know that you have nothing to say.

You're not actually saying anything so much as whining, throwing out pejoratives, and dunking NOT on the guilty, but on anyone who actually cares enough to do anything from the safety of your own porous border, while we have unmarked govt cars rolling through our streets picking up undocumented and citizens alike, and Palantir hoovering up our data, surveilling all of us.

You're intensely critical of everyone and everything EXCEPT those actually tearing everything down. You talk about the danger the US represents to your country, but you have ZERO words of censure for the individuals actually creating the danger you speak of.

Why is that? Why so full of fire and brimstone for those trying to change anything, and none for the actual perps?

You have an exceptionally selective grasp on reality, crafted by the mainstream media, without ever guessing that Americans are no more the exact same person than Canadians. You are as propagandized as anyone south of you, and don't even see it. You are exactly what you claim to despise, wrapped in a maple leaf. Congratulations, I guess that makes you better?

I’ve been saying that what the world is seeing is not the good people but instead the tens of millions of awful people. That said, I spoke mainly to the people who want me to pity them and their country just because they think that they’re nice. I have spoken on the fact, in this thread, that I do not believe Canadians are above criticism but I would also argue against other Canadians trying to do the same escape-plan bullshit. This is the primary difference between us, I can accept that the effect my country has on itself and others is something that I am tied to and I don’t expect other people to put up with our collective nonsense just because myself and my friends are good people.

You have no self-awareness and refuse to hear anything that won’t make you a victim. It’s enbarrassing, and I hope you do not try to come to my country while thinking you’re some highly desireable paragon of morality. Congratulations on barely passing the minimum bar of decency, and I’m sorry that your country has warped your perspective so badly, but I don’t really want you here if that’s how you’re going to behave.
