When US citizens come up here this summer, please forgive me for not joyfully greeting you. I’ll be polite, but not much else. Whether you voted for it or not, the world is dealing with your mess. Please clean it up.

We Canadians don’t want to join you. 🇨🇦
Period.

Embarrassing. I lived on the BC border for years and was always treated so well went I went to Canada. I can only hope Canadiens know many of us are ashamed of Trump.

A country that immediately provided assistance on 9/11, providing planes a safe place to land - a country full of citizens who warmly welcomed those rerouted there on 9/11 - an ally, a neighbor in the best sense of that word.

The goggle line from the tanning bed really puts it over the top.

Worst part is that there are too many brainwashed losers here in Canada that want to become Americans, it’s despicable and insanely short sighted

I don't think there are actually that many tbh, it's just the stupid ones are louder.

Incredible that even someone with the political chops that Rubio has would drink the Trump kool-aid like this.

Rubio says that Canada can't survive with unfair trade with the US. However, why not work with the Canadians on fairer trade instead of haphazardly slapping tariffs on them without negotiations? And, why piss off Canadians more by suggesting they should be our 51st state? They are now so pissed!

slappyshalom.bsky.social•7 days ago

Um, what unfair trade?

kevinschwarm.bsky.social•7 days ago

I was quoting what Rubio said in the clip. My point is that the Trump administration botched up this good relationship. That’s not how you treat your neighbors.

slappyshalom.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ah .... I was reading it as if you were one of those dipshits who don't understand trade, & for some reason think trade deficits are automatically bad.

Probably more.

I was spectacularly wrong about Nikki Haley but hoo boy Marco Rubio is giving that misimpression a heckuva battle
