lol I'm from Canada… we stopped going to your country, stopped buying anything you make and bush our shitty politicians to stop paying attention to your pedophile in chief

Canada has reacted and pressured the USA economically harder than you with your weekend protests

Get off your ass and do something that matters while you still can… you are NOT the victim here

Your government is still our closest economic and political ally, save for maybe the UK and Israel.

While your government has official abstained from participating publicly in the invasion of Iran, your prime minister's statement on the matter is not condemnation of US aggression, but the following:

Canada’s position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world’s worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.

You have not ceased trade or travel with the US. As of a few days ago your government was enthusiastically promoting renewal of the USMCA while Trump was the only one arguing against it, and I myself was in Vancouver just a few months ago. Lots of trucks coming and going through customs.

While I appreciate anything you're personally doing to pressure your leaders, I really do, you too have a lot more to do before I think you're justified haraunging random anti-Trump Americans on the internet. Canada's international image is not anti-Trump, it's one of accommodation through non confrontation.

I wish you the best of luck in your protests, I hope you wish me well in mine.

as expected… all you did was find something to pin on my country in a childish attempt to dilute your country's guilt

congrats…
