I so dearly want to be wrong and find out that this is over the top- but I expect there will be an 'Underground Railroad' to get people out of the U.S. and into Canada by the time this is all over.
Dear USA: please prove me wrong, don't let it come to that.
We know he didn't shut down the Suicide Hotline for everyone. The only one he has targeted for defunding is for LBGTQ+ humans. It is the main one in the news now as it broke 3 days ago. So Canada opened up to help. It isn't misinformation, it was just not clear if you do not keep up w/ the news.
What is your source for this claim? I find no evidence at all of it. Even the Trans lifeline site that this number is listed on, has NO update at all stating that anything has changed. This is NOT an average suicide hotline, it's only for transgender individuals in Canada. https://translifeline.org/hotline/
As important as it is that people in need have resources like this available, and as laudable as it is for Canada to display such compassion for their neighbors, this also enables Trump to say “See? We didn’t need this after all.” He can spin this into “Canada paid for it.”
As we devolve into chaos, I'm glad to see other countries stepping up. But it's also shameful, when we know that we could be doing really well, if real people ran the US, the people that can see value in doing things the right way beyond the political BS.

Canadians are the best. How went the election???
We still want to help where we can. A suicide hotline isn't about winning a trade war. It's about saving lives.
