Any dregs of positive feeling I might’ve had for this are far overwritten by their passing that measure that guts voting rights to the senate.

We (Canada) have already started negotiating a free trade agreement with the South East Asian countries that are part of ASEAN, and more are in the works for South American countries (Mercosur) and India. One of our current Prime Minister’s main objectives is literally to just reduce our trade dependence on the US, and there is huge public support for that. The US will never again have the full trust of the Canadian people, not after how Trump has treated us. It’s unfortunate for you guys, but it’s the truth. I don’t think people in the US fully realize just how much their reputation has plummeted internationally.
