    Right, because Canadians are the only victim here.

    The hypocrisy is palpable.

      Canadians are, generally speaking, taking plenty of action against Trump and the United States. Travel and purchase boycotts for instance.

      We’re not the only victims, no, but you have to clean up your own mess. When given the choice to follow you, Canadians recently chose not to.

      Instead of getting butthurt at internet comments go out into the streets

    I think we can all agree that the uber rich are the issue and not each other.

    Hey, don’t blame us for Murdoch. He’s Australian, he just bought US citizenship in his fifties in order to spread his hate better.

    … Saying that becoming American helped with that doesn’t really strengthen my case here, does it?

      Yeah this thread ended up being more hostile to regular Americans than I intended but US culture and US global hegemony are the things that attract and amplify the shitty people from around the world.

      USA is the final boss of capitalist imperialism and the people have completely lost control over the reins. It’s now a matter of when they actually say enough is enough, be it now or after Fascism runs its course and hurts millions of others around the world as well.

  Canada has its own problems for sure, but Ted Cruz’s family moved to Texas when he was 4. He’s definitely more a product of American culture than Canadian culture.

  I dated a Canadian once and you’d have to wait an hour to use the bathroom after her but maybe that was because she was a vegan.

  Anyways what are those shifty Canadians up to up there?

  What’s the fascism problem you’re talking about?

    There are a handful of loud Maple MAGAs that have been continually lost elections. So yeah, there’s some of that here. However, OP is just salty that the US is a fiery shitshow and is deflecting.

    These fascist right wing bastards are being emboldened (and amplified by American conservative funding) everywhere but Canada realizes it’s dependent on immigration enough that even our right wing parties are more hesitant to go full racist so the lowest of the low here don’t have a Trump to get all enthusiastic about.

    Plus now that Trump is picking a fight they don’t feel as comfortable speaking up here with their shitty views.

  Their violence and bigotry towards indigenous people is so normalized they think it doesn’t count

    Wow you sure know a lot about Canada. You must have been here a long time, huh? Surely your opinion is based on experience.
