The only lesson Canadians are learning is to never trust the US again.

This rich spoiled shit bag has spent his entire life feeling entitled to get anything he wants, often using any means at his disposal to get it. And now he decided he is entitled to getting full control over Canada's natural and human resources. He thinks that by inflicting pain on our people it will allow him to enslave the entire country. He doesn't give a crap about the suffering he is causing on either side of the border.

And the dumb thing is that it will obviously never work. Trump is treating the country like it was a business or a property he wants to acquire because he's too dumb to understand the difference. It doesn't work the same way at all. Look at Ukraine. What Canada is going through is nothing compared to what the Ukrainians have endured for years now and they're still not giving up. Canada will be the same. Canadians are increasingly hostile to the idea of making any concessions to the US now and they will go through any hardship that is necessary to avoid their country to be taken over because they know they're still better off that way. All of that pain and loss of productivity will amount to nothing good.

This is an unprovoked attack. When this pedophile finally leaves the White House one way or another and someone who isn't absolutely batshit insane takes over, I hope Canada will demand reparations for the damage that the most corrupt and incompetent person the US government has ever allowed to preside over the country has caused.

Canada needs to harden itself and its population in every single way imaginable.

The one mistake you are making is assuming that the next president will try to normalize relations and act like Trump never happened. This is not going to be the case. Vance is following in the same shit Trump is doing and there are a lot of true believers that Canada should be taken over by the United States.

Until some very serious reform happens to America itself, I will never trust the United States. They will always be just one bad election from losing their fucking minds and going back on any and all promises and agreements and turning on allies. Even if the Dems win the midterms and possibly 2028, I don't trust that they'll do enough to stop this from happening again or even hold anybody accountable.

Exactly. Their three branches of government are all broken: executive too unrestrained, and too powerful; legislative too deadlocked, gerrymandered, and gerontocratic; judiciary too partisan, dogmatic, and corrupt.Their quasi-religious constitution is a relic that they spend more time worshipping than thinking about what a constitution is for.

I am begging the entire world to turn its back on America. America is not an adult, it is a child that was raised on action movies. That child is a fucking brat and will betray you the second an opening to do so is available, even if there's no reason to.

America needs to be told no, and have its toys taken away until it behaves.

I say this as an American.
