So it’s extraordinary if in one month Trump manages to turn Canadians against a popular living legend, and also inspires Québec to present a united front with the Rest of Canada (from the original post)..
More awkward, my mom (in her 80s) was one of the last kids born in her part of Finland before the Soviets took it. She was pissed when the Ukraine invasion followed the same playbook right down to the pseudo-historical justification. Trump selling out Ukraine and NATO is a slap in her face.
I was born and raised in the heart of the Québec region of the nationalist separatist strong hold, still yet to this day. I was persecuted daily for the mere ability to be able to speak English, in addition to my French heritage. It was a difficult 24 years, I was glad when I moved away.
I worked for a construction company with vendors in Quebec. Being in the States, I speak English & no French and I would have to call them. As soon as I started talking, they would just hang up on me. Not always, but quite frequently.
We’re a republic made up of 50 small republics. It used to work…and then we elected Ronald Reagan. He was the linchpin the extreme right needed to finish setting in motion the policies and events that got us, well, got us to where we are now.
godfuckingdammit... yes. i hate that half assed actor with a white hot passion. last good republican to hold office was Eisenhower. i hold him in high regard because he ordered the camps documented on film and photos. he knew.
he also ordered Patton to stop with the anti-semitic bullshit he was peddling and get rid of the Nazi guards he was using after Orndorff a sub-camp of Buchenwald was liberated.
fuck Reagan repugs. where are the Eisenhower republicans.
Can they sympathize with the division in America now? Us and "them" but on a much larger scale? At least they've come to terms in an equitable way. Will we?

Truly strange times.
Trump’s Canada “jokes” aren’t going over well, so Gretzky being honorary captain for Canada last night AND treating the role casually was a bad look.

Only Trump could do that. So rack up one success for him.
