In other words, some Republican senators still want to insert the knife into Caanda, to drain our lifeblood, but they want it done compassionately.

    You want us back?

    Impeach Trump.

    Then, if Vance fucks around, impeach him, too. Then Johnson. Keep going until you find someone who isn’t a fascist asshat.

    That would help with America’s “trust” problem.

      I think it’s more likely individual states or blocs of them regain our trust by seceding

    “We’ll be better at it if we’re friends than if we’re just tolerating one another…. I’m just here (in Ottawa) to say thank you, and then to encourage Canadians to take another look and give us another chance.”

    You can’t talk about making Canada into the 51st state and then cry for another chance. As far as I’m aware, most Canadians have a backbone. A concept utterly alien to conservatives.

      I think you are mistaken. The common American politician, upon biopsy, has been found without a backbone. It keeps its form with an exoskeleton, shed once every 20 years.

        Seems more like it’s once every 2-4 years they shed the ol’ exoskeleton. 😅

          Depends on the species, but yes some in the genus shed more often than others

    From that article,

    "He [Carney] announced a $6-billion purchase of over-the-horizon radar systems from Australia in March as part of the government’s ongoing NORAD modernization project.’

    A NORAD radar.

    From Australia.

    That just HAS to sent the Americans a message about Carney’s thinking towards the Americans.

    Go fuck yourself!

    • Signed one of your constituents

    Quit being cunts and maybe people will eventually give us another chance, but I won’t blame them if they don’t.

    You have to earn the second chance, yanks. And given the size of the betrayal, you got to work hard, very hard, to earn it.

    “Bookings of Canadians to come to Virginia Beach are down significantly, and colleagues of mine in other states are saying the same thing about tourism,” Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia told Stephenson. “So we’re definitely seeing it.

    I will never visit the United States again. You have the gestapo snatching people off the streets now. A large percentage of your population approves of what is happening, while not requiring the propaganda to reach or hold that conclusion.

    “We were aware, because we all have great friends in Canada, that there was a lot of anxiety about, well, gosh, what do Americans think of us?” he said in explaining what spurred the senators’ visit. “The five of us wanted to come to say, ‘Look, we love Canada.'”

    The anxiety that you’re referencing is a direct result of your country unilaterally choosing to betray us. Not that guy Donald Trump, but you. You enabled all of this, and you have absolutely no idea how to walk any of this back. You’re under the impression that you can fix this in an election cycle.

        It wouldn’t hurt.

        I’m fine with some governor expressing concern with harm to their local economy, as that’s literally their job.

        But this is geopolitics, and they’re clearly out of their element when trying to grasp the stakes.

      I agree with everything else here, but propaganda absolutely plays a role in the current fascist movement in the States. The Venn diagram of Trump supporters and people who watch Fox News is probably pretty close to a circle.

        To be clear, propaganda matters.

        I’m saying that there’s a segment of the fascist populace that is utterly aware of what is real, what is bullshit, and are quite content with the presence of said bullshit, as long as it maintains the current reality.
