As an American this hurts. None of the US allies (former allies?) have done for the US what Canada has. Canada has gone so above and beyond whenever the US has had a crisis (ie. 9/11).
Like how stupid do you have to be to ruin that? And it’s not just POTUS. There have literally been Canadians who were arrested by ICE. Yet, people like Newsom are still trying to entice Canadians to visit the US. Sure, nothing could happen. But if something happens, you could get deported to some random country before you can mount a defense even though Canada shares a land border.
It’s selfish and is a stark juxtaposition against how the Canadians treated Americans. It’s beyond fucked.
This stupid
As a Canadian with elderly American family this hurts. I want to visit them but don't want to go down there.
As a Canadian this also hurts. A lot.
I don’t want to hate the US, I don’t have issues with a lot of the American people, but I can’t see the actions of the US government as anything less than an adversary and an existential threat.
The thing about existential threats is you have no choice, you cannot ignore them, because even a 10% chance has immense costs, and the expected value of what you should commit to covering them is massive.
Honestly it feels a lot like what Russia did before annexing Crimea and before the war in Ukraine. Down to meeting with and funding separatists, mass propaganda campaigns, etc.
The fascist plague is in Canada too, and Canada has to take action to protect itself from it. Just recently there was a police-led Nazi rally in Toronto. There was another one earlier last year at Christie Pits too but they got pushed out by counter protesters. It's in government as well, all the cons are trying to bring American politics to Canada
Canada needs to take action before it's too late
Yeah, we know, and it's been an attempt at the US government to get their bullshit up north, and exactly why the Conservatives lost so hard last election. The people up here at least get out and vote when we see the Conservative party aligning with Trump, and in Alberta aligning with "US Separatism".
Any link to that Police-led Nazi march you're mentioning? Didn't read anything on that.
We have a Christo-Nazi fucking up a school board in Hamilton on an anti-woke agenda the Wine moms love. She's been working with local Nazi, Paul Fromm.
I have a serious issue with about 2/3rds of them. 1/3 voted for the orange sack of mayo and another 1/3 just shrugged.
1/3 voted for the orange fuck and another 1/3 just shrugged...TWICE
Canada would have done anything for the US. Canada is a good friend.
But the situation has become more like freeing the German soldier in Saving Private Ryan. Helping the USA in 2026 is like putting a bullet in your other friend yourself.
And it is not just how Trump treats Canada. Denmark bled for the US over 9/11 and they got Greenland belongs to the US as thanks. How many Ukranians have died as result of current US policy?
And is it just Trump? Important men all over the world are being held to account over Epstein. Anybody in the US?
The US itself is the biggest victim. The US is murdering its own citizens in the streets. No reaction. Not really. How exactly is that genie going back in the bottle? I was in Chicago when 9/11 happened. The US was never the same after. This has changed it more and more irreversibly.
It is such a sad and tragic end. So much for the shining city on a hill.
