It’s not just about the trade war. Nearly half of America’s neighbors to the north now think the U.S. is a bigger threat to world peace than Russia.

Dare I ask… Is that real?
Ugh. I hate what we’ve become.
Elbows up, Canada. I’m so happy to see the Neighbors to the North take little shit from the Bully Cowards to the South.
Canadians can do a lot better.
Until I see bigger lineups at A&W (A&W Canada is actually 100% Canadian, no royalties or anything to the USA) than McDonalds, Burger King, etc, not even close to being a start on the way to good enough.
I can see lots of people checking labels, but we need to get back to “US apples rotting on Canadian shelves” levels of action again. I want to hear more about US businesses begging Canadians to come back. I want to hear Trump threatening Canada for being anti-America. I want it to be crystal clear where Canada stood.
I highly recommend Guard the Leaf on YouTube (yes I know).
He features what you’re looking for all the time.
A&W has better food than other fast food joints, and this has been the case for years. If my family eats fast food it is always the teen burger.
I don’t get “elbows up”?
In hockey you keep your elbows up to guard against getting knocked around when the game gets rough.
Ah, makes sense. Thank you.
I think Americans also hate America this much.
They must, a non-zero number of them voted for a despot to destroy the country three times.
As an American, I can confirm this.
Do they hate it enough to do something about the orange child rapist and the enablers that are causing all this?
Yeah, save yourselves buddy. One day hopefully you can treat us like the fucked up ex-addict we hopefully will be.

I’m not your guy, pal!
I’m not your pal, friend!
I’m not your friend, dude!

That evaluation is partly due to the rapid increase in the threat that America poses to world peace, and party due to Russia being revealed to be depending on Ladas and donkeys for logistics in Ukraine.
American here.
Me too.
Thats because their sensible. Back when people were talking about fleeing it was. Hey! We have the biggest military in the world! We need people resisting inside before people have to resist outside! Also native americans already got so fucked historically its like. oh now we gonna run.
As an American I thought it would be much worse. 75% or more. We have been shitty neighbors. Seriously, threats, tariffs, insults, etc.
Canadian here. Usians: make sure everyone you know understands that this is no joke. I live rural, I’m a socialist pinko but I live surrounded by rednecks, and we have conversations about insurgency on the regular. We have many, many Ukrainian refugees here.
Canadian here. We find you annoying. Daily, multiple times a day, we’re just slammed in the face with your bullshit. “What Trump is doing is illegal” or “Democrat Sen. says what Trump has done today is illegal” and then…..fuck all is done about it. Meanwhile we wake up this morning to see former Prince Andrew has been arrested and we kind of just throw our hands up like “ok…now your turn”
Again, another example FROM TODAY, Trump has taken 10bil from the US and put it into his “Board of Peace” essentially controlling his own personal slush fund. Right on queue Democrat Senators and Reps are saying “that’s illegal!” ok…you going to do something about it THIS time? I’m still waiting on Ro Khanna to “draft up” those charges against Pam Bondi that he said he was going to do last December.
It’s all talk and very little, if any, action from your leaders and it’s annoying. And ALL of them are complicit in this including your favourites be it Bernie Sanders or AOC or Crockett. They all make sure they get a good sound bite or twitter post in and then….nothing, no follow through. another couple reps list off names from the files and then…nadda. One just straight up came out and said “Trump raped kids” soooooo where’s that impeachment? arrest? no? nothing?
And the infuriating thing is your Republicans NOW know they can get away with it. Again look at how Bondi behaved. many Americans on here and on reddit were saying “she’s acting that way cause she’s scared” no she wasn’t. she’s was acting that way cause she knew she could get away with it.
And to TOP it all off you still have your fellow americans posting daily things like “I think we’re the baddies now” or “we’re starting to become fascist” or “I don’t like America either”. You just don’t get it. You still have yet to accept the fact that you currently ARE a fascist country. you ARE the Nazi’s. you ARE the enemy. Even this post “Hey guys look how much Canada doesn’t like us NOW” now? NOW!? newsflash, we haven’t liked you for a good long while. We’ve TOLERATED you. We’ve rolled our eyes at you for decades. Even the insulting posts people made of “We’re sorry Canada”. no, stop. That’s like saying you chose to make a sandwich out of turds and puke instead of ham and cheese and then you gave the sandwich to the world and after we took a bite you said “oh, my bad, I shouldn’t have done that huh?” It’s like NONE of you get it until WELL after the fact and in many cases a lot of you STILL don’t get it.
We don’t want to hear your apologies anymore, we just want you to accept the fact that you’re Nazi’s, you’re the bad guys and MAYBE you’re going to consider fixing the mess you made. But as a Canadian who has had the unfortunate “pleasure” of living above you I know you’re not going to. I know you might fix the current problem but a few years down the line we’ll be right back at it again. I’ve lived through your Reagan and Bush years (multiple) you keep ramping up the worst you can be and I’m more scared of the person you elect AFTER Trump.
No, we don’t like you, and many of us never have.
How willing is CA to take US refugees if they’re willing to swear allegiance to CA?
I can think of a few people I know in the US who would love to emigrate to Canada to escape the political spiral wrought by this administration, but it seems like Canada isn’t all that willing to make it easy for them.
As a US citizen myself, I can’t blame them. I also hate this country.
