I am ashamed to call myself Canadian when we have theses people in our country, wtf. You guys deserve better. 😔

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

So many of us have just not belonged in this country, sadly. We don't identify with the level of lies, corruption, and greed. Should have started working on citizenship a long time ago.

The future looks scary and uncertain. I just hope our children will make it out alive and healthy.

No country is perfect and is without criticism. I'm not going to list reasons why our neighbor up north isn't perfect but we are all deserving of empathy. That person is not an accurate representation of what they claim their home is and that's not fair to the people who make it a better place.

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agreed.

I can understand the uncertainty that looms with taking in mass amounts of people from another country, ya know? Especially when the leaders of that country are seeking to affect your own (tariffs/invasion).

But there's many of us who are actively fighting back and don't support any of it.

legenddairybard.bsky.social•3 days ago

Adding - this applies to US citizens as well. Not all of us are represented by what is currently going on. I try to avoid controversial convos but I had to say something lol

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's hard for me to avoid it. I'm not even confrontational by nature, and I generally try to find peace these days.

But some opinions that I find toxic are just too hard to keep my mouth shut.

I wish I could, but it feels almost involuntary.

legenddairybard.bsky.social•3 days ago

I understand completely! Remember - we left a certain website because of reasons like this, people who want to stir drama because they can't look inside themselves and avoid pointless conflicts that do nothing to help. These people are why we're here - to find and make a better place. <3

Why do we have to own and pay morally for something we didn't even do? Half of us aren't responsible for this. That person's really sick for saying all of that.

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

Right? I'm surprised that they can claim how virtuous they are and, yet, turn around to put us all on the same pedestal as Trump supporters.

It's completely contradictory.

You don't want immigrants from the U.S., fine. But don't claim to care about those who didn't want this and voted against it.

arientyse.bsky.social•3 days ago

What got me was the "once admired as a nation" bc the people that made up the country they admired still live here?? Why would all of us suddenly switch up, especially those of us being targeted 😩

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's apparently easier to just blanket opinion all of us, rather than take the time to realize that there's many (most, in my opinion... #stolen) who actively don't support this and are speaking out against it in the ways that we are capable.

Look, I KNOW you didn't *vote for* him, but you somehow, personally, elected him nonetheless! You didn't drive out to the White House, flash a citizen badge, and call off the inauguration, so it's ON YOU! Duhhhhh... u_u

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

The on-point sarcasm got me for a second, hahaha! This is so accurate 🤣

lephys.bsky.social•3 days ago

I've been torn on blatantly indicating my sarcasm or not, but... around here (the internet, that is), it's too UN-obvious when someone's mocking an insane ideaology vs. simply cultivating it. 😁

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

You're very talented at it, haha! Probably a safe bet 😅

lephys.bsky.social•3 days ago

Haha, thanks! I do think sarcasm is an incredibly useful tool in communication, when people don't go overboard with it. It just gets a bad rap just as a mostly negative or hostile thing, just because many like to use it unreasonably and nonconstructively. 🤷‍♂️

Canada has no shortage of bigots. Nor is it unusual to hear someone spewing anti-American sentiments. But I’ve never heard an American down here take an anti-Canadian stance unless they were making a South Park joke.

vbkhando.bsky.social•3 days ago

I guess we know her stance on refugees. She would be a MAGA if she lived in the US.

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

That was EXACTLY my thought. Take this same verbiage and make it about Palestinians, and it would be reminiscent of what all the Trump supporters have been saying since the start of that war.

vbkhando.bsky.social•3 days ago

Take out the context that she’s Canadian that’s exactly how MAGA sounds towards migrants from south of the US border.

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

💯💯💯

redeyeryse.bsky.social•3 days ago

We're tired of dealing with it. You ridicule us every chance you get about "eh" and "living in igloos", then expect us to be welcoming after our sovereignty is attacked!? Sorry but they're right. We put up with it nicely, and for far too long. That's over now. You need to work on you, boo.

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

Once again, you're lumping myself with every American. That is not fair in the least bit, and if you had an ounce of logic to add to this conversation, you'd realize it's wrong.

I've lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for the majority of my life, visiting Canada regularly.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for Canada, and I've generally felt more like a Canadian due to the close proximity of living near Sault Ste. Marie.

Your hatred is blanketed and misguided, and frankly, it is extremely disappointing.

Do better.

redeyeryse.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think it's time YOUguys did better. You compare our attitude on immigration toMAGAs except you seem to not understand that, the president of Mexico didn't threaten to takeover your country before migrants started coming over.That puts a different tone to everything. We literally feel threatened

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

We're on the same side, yet you want to push potential allies away for the sake of your emotions. Rightful emotions, mind you. But you're letting it control your decision-making.

Again, do better.

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

You're enveloped by anger and fail to see that you're still lumping all Americans together.

I didn't vote for him. I *despise* him. Yet you continue to treat every American the same.

Would it be fair if I held you accountable to every wrong choice your government makes?

vbkhando.bsky.social•3 days ago

Using my brown face to talk to Nazis doesn’t work.

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

Given our history, you'd think it would.

Have we not experienced enough racism at this point to not all equally be disgusted by the concept of treating someone different because of nebulous concepts like skin tone or cultural differences?

It's insane to me that racism is still alive and well.

doktor-x.bsky.social•3 days ago

Democratic voters in Florida have gotten this kind of hate from other dems for years. They ignore what we actually voted for and just lump us in with the republican crazies here.

dedrabbits.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly.

I'm trying to make sense of the hoops you'd need to jump through in order to come to the conclusion that since Trump won, every American voted for him and is equally guilty.

I guess it's easier to have that thought process than to actually take the time to distinguish between the two?
