“Americans mistake our modesty for meekness, our kindness for consent, our nation for another star on their flag and our love of a hot cheesy poutine with their love of a hot cheesy Putin,”
Dude. Canada has a population of 40M. We have accepted 785K Ukrainian refugees. The US has a population of 350M. They have accepted 100K Ukrainian refugees.
When Canada becomes the 51st state of the USA: 1) it will be the largest state; 2) it will tilt the balance of voter preference from Republican to Democratic permanently; 3) No more republican Presidents ever; 4) no more Republican majorities in House or Senate ever. Brilliant idea.
When? That's never going to happen. America eventually will weather this storm as it has always done in the past. It's only a matter of time. And time is not on trump's side and he knows it. He will wither away and Americans for what they are, will not learn anything from this experience.
Sharing what I’ve been doing as a Canadian. Just emailed all US stores I buy from to tell them why I am unsubscribing & not buying from them (lunatic president). Buying products/groceries from Canada or any other country other than US. Threaten Canada and impose tariffs what has the US become?
For anyone who thinks it doesn’t make a difference, I’ve already gotten back some heart warming emails in solidarity and understanding from the smaller stores. We need to let Americans know how upset we are and why.
I did the same with my US suppliers. I live in Germany and I'm horrified by the emergence of Fascism in a country I thought a friend. Responses have been overwhelmingly positive. They're not Trump supporters and they share my fears and objections. This is not the America most Americans want.
I think, from what I am seeing and reading, they already know! No one is spearheading any real fight back, and while this is the case this nonsense will just roll on and on!
As an American bourbon drinker, when I told my regular bartender I was switching to Crown in support of our Canadian friends, he was perplexed and I had to inform him about the tariffs. Half of the US is horrified and embarrassed. Much of the other half has no clue any of this is happening.
Trump, as president, can only impose tariffs on Canada as a matter of national security, so he claims it's for fentanyl coming across the Canadian border though that amount is miniscule. So the tariffs are really for some other reason. But what is the real reason? We need a answer not speculation.

Which means fuck Trump, he is dated old idiot from past, imho. With irrelevant ideas
