I'm not endorsing anything, but making a public statement that you hate your country, your neighbours, and everything they stand for and enjoy watching them suffer is going to provoke a reaction.

They're from the U.S. and emigrated to Canada. At worst, they're getting the tiniest of taste of what foreigners who've emigrated to the U.S. face from MAGA.

I stand by what I said. If they chose to come and settle here, and then have the audacity to support an active foreign threat from the place they left, then they earned what comes next. I don't have to like the vandalism to understand that it's natural consequence of their behaviour. I don't consider it in the same category as what the Americans do. It's not what they are or where they came from that people have a problem with. Judging people for what they say and do is what judgment is actually for.

I stand by what I said.

I don't think anybody's disagreeing with you though.

A lot of Alberta is polluted with Texan oil and gas types. But why hang a Trump flag in Canada. To convince Canadians to vote for him?

Wayne Gretzky, the Great Once, statue is chronically smeared in shit in Edmonton.

Read the room.

What did Gretzky do to deserve the doodoo?

Also trump said he'd make him governor of Canada after annexation.
