Listening to radio ads right now is like 'Canadians are strong. Canadians are tough. Canadians never back down. Canadians deserve the best. That's why at Bob's Lube Garage, we know your tire lube should smell like poutine and Lake Erie fish,'
😂I needed the chuckle. I received some growing supplies from a Canadian company today, sadly, they did not smell like poutine nor Lake Erie fish. 🤔I haven't unwrapped them from the plastic yet though...
Hey, we’re new to ostentatious nationalism. It’s gonna be an adjustment. By next week Canadian Tire will have a special on lighters, fire starters, and maps to Washington DC.
I was born in Fredericton….only been in NB a couple times since.
My sis and father are in Alberta now. Sis is still normal, dad drank the MAGA koolaid….but he’s 85, so I just ignore his nonesense, don’t want to waste the last few years fighting with him
Used to go to a small café in New Brunswick once a year to hear Garnet (his brother)play. His song Night Drive is about Stan. Have a listen if you haven't before.
I was impressed that my local cannabis store has informed customers that all their weed is 100% Canadian. I will ride out this trade war one gummy and one bag of Hawkins Cheezies at a time.
Lol yeah I keep getting ads for Canadian dairy and I’m like “… why the hell are you running that ad in a province that already has a whole-ass governement-sponsored website just for cheese? 🤣 “
Shun and shame "all" magas.
They are the same people that put trump's hero into power in 1934 Germany.
They are responsible for this, make them pay.
Fire them, deny all aid and comfort, they are the enemy.
Were there no trump they would simply find another, plenty are waiting in the wings.
Can a Canadian please hug another Canadian for me today? Tell them a really sorry American sent it? And give them a little star spangled boop on the nose? PLEASE 🇺🇸 ♥️ 🇨🇦
I think this is what we need right now — the sense that we're all onside with standing up to the menace. Even if it's convoluted and shoehorned into the ad, it makes my heart happy.
First off, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. C'mon, due to flaws in our system we managed to 'elect' a rapacious moron to POTUS. Yeah, we're idiots. We thought the Constitution meant something. Without bucks to back it up? Maybe not. Hope we all wake up to the situation asap. Oh, &you're tough.
Is it terrible that nationalist Canadian sentiment still makes me deeply uncomfortable post-Convoy? All of it is so cringe and, to me at least, it also still has this insidious backwoods right-wing stank on it.
And now you know what it was like to live in early 2000's USA. Nonstop flagwaving and and forced patriotism. Keep an eye out for when your conservatives start equating their ideas to "patriotism" and dragging anyone who disagrees as un-canadian or somesuch
Until musk and trump endorsed our conservatives they were set to win by a landslide. I hadn't really considered the US had fully transitioned to a Cautionary Tale, but it really has.
Every Canadian in the country has polished off the bottle of maple syrup that’s been lingering in the back of their fridge for a year. All to fuel this surge of patriotism, and give them the energy they need to check every origin label while they get groceries and restock on the the syrup.
I love most of this ... but I found Lake Erie fish rather bland. Maybe that's because I was on the Ohio side of the lake. Certainly, any experience in Canada is better than the same in Ohio, so I'll reserve that judgement based on lack of true experience.
Remember, Canada has the best snipers as proven on the battlefields...So if Trump wants to annex us, his military will not know where the shots came from!!!
In June 2017, a Canadian sniper from Joint Task Force 2 (JTF2) set the record for the longest confirmed sniper kill at 3,540 meters (3,871 yards). The shot was taken during the Iraq War.
You mean Afghanistan! Canada wasn’t in the Iraq war. The bullet traveling at the speed of a 747 jet took 10 seconds to hit the target.
That’s how far it was.
This. Get into any sort of direct conflict and less than a dozen of our highly trained best could infiltrate the US easily and wreak a spectacular amount of havoc. Vietnam and Afghanistan would look quaint by comparison.
I really hope Canada is ready to deal with the fascists that make up the majority of Americans south of the border. Republicans are some of the worst, most evil humans on the planet.
I can’t stand Trump. I had a vacation scheduled for Quebec, but the people I was going to travel with don’t want to go because they are afraid Canadians are so mad, that it might not be safe for US Citizens to travel there. I’d rather spend my money in Canada 🇨🇦 that here in the USA. F Trump!
Going to Vancouver in June. Take the trip. Throughout our history of really stupid presidents I have never once come across a Canadian who wanted to hurt me for being from the US regardless of the idiocracy in power. Canadians are mostly kind people.
Went for a walk today in Canada's most conservative province. I have never seen so many Canadian flags on balconies..... even on Canada Day! Canadians really are ticked!
I mean, at least ours is coming from a "we are actively being threatened with annexation so maybe a bit of national fire is necessary" standpoint, even if it is a little silly sometimes
I’m actually okay with people leaning in hard. I haven’t been to the grocery in over a month where people weren’t actively scanning labels for Canadian products, and it might not save us but fuck, it’s nice to see Albertans pulling their weight for a change.
My Dad used to come home in the middle of the night, with big buckets of live smelt! ... I wanted to keep them all, but they ended up in my Mom's frying pan ...
"For the entire period of our impending annexation, your health insurance is doubled with cases concerning Americans because we're stealing what little insurance they have and giving it to you"
Just letting you know that Quebecers have united with country. But needing something to argue about have resorted to arguing again whether poutine really originated in Drummondville. The cops eventually come out if the debate degenerates to poutine with black pepper or no. It gets ugly.
You don't have to take the whole state but how about the Cleveland area. Get a foothold on the other side of the lake, and the best corned beef in the world to make a loaded poutine with or something
Thinking seriously of heading your way, soon. The two year old hasn't seen the Gardens, yet, and that's a good excuse to go spend my money in your lovely country.
Just curious… lived there for a couple of years and my straw poll of random people I talked to in bars was about 50:50 Canadian:Québécois identity-wise. Great place!
The next generation is finally taking over the old guard of seperatists. They are more pragmatic. Less insecure.
Quebec is growing up too. Societal evolution.
You cannot stop it.
Reminiscent of Hitler’s Degenerate Art show in which he collected (re: stole) all the modern art he could find and compiled a show. Next to it was the classic art show he put together. Which did you think fared better? The Degenerate art show- of course.
Apparently there's never been a better collection of early 20th century European art. And there probably never will be again, because so much of it was destroyed or (re)looted in the war.
Yes. It was an unprecedented show. If it had been a legitimate show, ethically compiled, and dissembled appropriately, I would applaud it. He didn’t do it intentionally- he compiled it intentionally - but it’s point was to denigrate the art.
Of course. It's just so ironic that he was trying to put together the art equivalent of a freak show, and it was so much more than the kitsch and schmaltz he had next door.
And it demonstrates the reason that he was rejected by art schools. He had marginal taste. His work was regressive and no school was into his anodyne, milquetoast work.
I need to start a collection, like I collected pictures of hand sanitizer packaging during 2020…. My favourites were all the ones from alcohol producers, in alcohol bottles 🥰
Gdamn, I wish I could get somena that spirit here in Atlanta, GA USA.
BTW, sorry HE fucked up the great thing we had going for so long. I just hope we can have a blow out banger ova party after he's gone. I'll bring the bourbon ifern one of y'all bring the Crown Royal.
One small good thing about Trump’s 🐂💩 is that we in the rest of the world had grown so weary of the US’s self-congratulatory crowing that we’d come to avoid self-praise ourselves, seeing it as too gauche & cringeworthy. Now we’re all finally acknowledging “Actually, yeah, we’re pretty damned great!”

Been all across this amazing country, dated a lovely woman from Sherbrooke, QC (that could have sparked a war lol)
I feel strength from East to West to North.
Hugs to all my fellow Canadians and stay strong, I know you will.
❤️🇨🇦❤️
I was born in Fredericton….only been in NB a couple times since.
My sis and father are in Alberta now. Sis is still normal, dad drank the MAGA koolaid….but he’s 85, so I just ignore his nonesense, don’t want to waste the last few years fighting with him
Nice to connect! Stay safe & well. 👍🍁👍
Over here in Vancouver refusing to let the world burn down 🙈
Love the unity and vibes I'm getting from Canada.
Planning my first trip there in a year or two. Prob into TO then Quebec, then over east.
I like Neil Young and i sing Stan Rogers in a sailor bar when i can. Stay strong!
⚓️😂 🇦🇺🇨🇦👏
Salut, mon frère !
#StrongAsFuck
Anyway, here’s Sansa enjoying the view!

TRUMP IS A LIAR!
There is no public record or evidence to suggest that Zelenskyy wrote to Trump after the meeting to say he wanted to come back.

Goes to store to buy a bag.
Guess I owe the wife an apology.

"The Horde with endure! The Horde is strong!"
Capitalism be wild.
We’re a weird country for ethnocentric pride.
I feel like there’s a maple syrup bottle lurking behind every statement now.
I also kind of love it. For now.
And they spoke English above the level of Cletus want fud noe
*starts looking up Canadian fish recipes*
Be to America what the Finns are to Russia.
Do we put an ad in the paper to find them? Just to uh, you know, say hi.
That’s how far it was.
Now I’m hungry 😉
It had a 'fabricated in Canada' sticker on the sign
Trying too hard, Coke. You're one of my last two vices, not a fucking automobile
Anyway. Please stay smart and good and brave and human.
Uh…sorry for all the trouble.
Vive le Canada 🇨🇦🍁
Still, I'll take the Canadians discovering a dormant patriotism over imperialist-American saber-rattling any day of the week.
What's the difference between a (United States of) American and a Canadian?
A Canadian knows:)
It's like the 80s all over again. With a smaller budget.
Quebec is growing up too. Societal evolution.
You cannot stop it.
Can we have snow maple taffy and poutine on a stick there too?
BTW, sorry HE fucked up the great thing we had going for so long. I just hope we can have a blow out banger ova party after he's gone. I'll bring the bourbon ifern one of y'all bring the Crown Royal.
