When the American ports were closed to the "coffin ships" of Ireland, the port at Quebec welcomed the orphans of the famine.
It is why you see the Irish flag flying proudly to this day in Montreal and Quebec.
It is a bond that built our nation.

Our public education system has failed us by ignoring facts in favour of feelings.
Great part of our history.
America represents genocide as much as Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, or any other regime.
In 1939, Canada turned away the MS St. Louis which was carrying over 900 Jewish refugees.
We can always do better.
Long live Canada
Who has spoken out against Trump wanting to forcefully take Canada?
That's what he is doing
Canada went to war for England and their leader is a coward
Not even speaking out against it
Canada rocks, US sucks.

"During the 12-year period of Nazi rule in Germany, Canada admitted fewer than 5,000 Jewish refugees, one of the worst records of any democracies. In 1945, asked how many Jews Canada would admit after the war, a Canadian official answered “None is too many”.
"Bond"?
We've got quite a few stains on our record.

The landlords were all English absentee 'noblemen'
They all kept their names.
We should reclaim Superman back for Canada!
Even Canadians. Thank you for posting! Merci bien.
Our gov't learned some things from our neighbors to the south that we aren't proud of.
But we are making a lot more progress!
French settlers were markedly less horrible. Not great, but less horrible.
They were the inspirations for a lot of hatred around the world.
I will not use that designation, "American" again, they do not speak for US.
I look at the parties, both of them, they can't take ANY of the blame for what's happening right now. *sigh*
I'm sorry.
Ugh bluesky's algorithm got Commonwealth spooge on my timeline.

Canada is not perfect. We made mistakes in the past, we acknowledge them and will not make the same mistakes again.
For this reason Canada should declare the United States hostile to non-white non-christian non-hetero-normative people there and allow them asylum.
(Elon says we should not. He sucks)
Our common vision of what Canada can and should be, must never be clouded by self deception.
America has closed her ports far too often. The kindness and humanity of Canadians is the model for every democracy.
May the wind be always at your back.
the same happened to Montréal’s mayor John Easton Mills.

I'm a proud Canadian with loads of heart, always asking myself if I'm doing the right thing.
I think most of us 🇨🇦 are like this.
