  I’ve felt like that for years, too. But Canadians boycotting en masses, then soundly rejecting mini-Trump has given me hope. Since then, our leader has been reaching out to other countries to form new relationships and deals. We just signed a rare earth minerals deal with Greenland, of all places.

  Yes, Canada has been hamstrung by US demands but the vice-grip they’ve had over us has deteriorated. This wouldn’t have happened if not every single other country in the world was going through the same thing. So it feels a bit like a rebirth to me, with the possibility of finally being able to come into our own as a nation.

  Canadian here and we celebrated the fuck out of our national holiday which just passed. We have a stronger feeling of solidarity than we’ve felt in a long time. Despite the threats of annexation and shifting tariffs, we are feeling more hopeful than we have in many years, possibly because we’re making new friends in the global sandbox and coming into our own power now instead of constantly kowtowing to the USA in all matters.

  Except a few folks in Alberta who would love to be part of the modern Nazi regime. Fuck them, tho.

  “Ok” is my go-to. It feels dismissive because it is.

  Capitalism isn’t coming for anyone else because of limitations that have been put on it by the peoples governments in other countries.

  Yes, indeed. If you check out Poilievre’s platform, he almost entirely mimics Trump’s, right down to promoting Canada’s own version of DOGE. That’s why there was such a huge turnout at the voting booths. The writing was on the wall with that guy and becoming American was not what the majority of us wanted.

  I received a 7 day ban for threatening violence. My comment was, “He should have spray-painted a swastika in red” in response to video of a guy who spray-painted “USA” on a presidential placard in Trump Tower. I’m done with Reddit after 11 years.
