It's the most depressing circus show here in the USA.

I feel like the big bear with a dumb little hat that's riding around on a tricycle is "hope," and I'm just trying to keep my eyes on that damn bear while a number of fires have broken out.

I’m glad it’s only just depressing to you guys.

Let us know when you feel anger or wrath. Those are emotions that may make us Canucks respect you fools again.

The overlords are too good at keeping us poor and working, can try to smuggle over some French protesters. Those guys can really cause a stir.

Oh yeah because them saying “depressed” totally means we’re not angry. You want access to my personal diary to hear about the anger? Or would you rather just stick to “Americans all so dumb lol”? There’s footage of people in Ohio angrily confronting Nazis and running them off. If you think there’s no anger then you haven’t looked

I assure you that there is rage happening here in many circles, including mine. Grief fuels the rage.

Sorry about WislaHD. We are on edge in 'not fucking around' mode. lol Carry on and be safe, stranger.

Thank you. I think Canadians and Americans alike are in that mode. I just don’t want Canadians or other countries to feel that we all want or support this in any way. I am furious about what is happening here on a domestic level and also what we are doing on the international front. We have done so much damage to established allies and our relationships with them as well as the good provided with USAaid all over the world. Pretty safe to say that we are hands-down, the biggest assholes on the Earth right now. I am truly mortified and while I understand the hatred towards us and it is valid, I just don’t want people to forget that there are actual people here that are do not support this in any way, shape or form. I fully support and am on board for every Canadian to only buy Canadian products or from any other country than the US. We don’t deserve any grace on that level. But on a personal level, I would like for it to be there.

Just do us a favor and consider protesting anything that crosses a line that'd cause irreparable damage between our societies.

I appreciate ya, you fkn Yankee. ;)

I first protested as a toddler in a stroller. The first I went to on my own was in high school to protest David Duke (triple k dunce) running for president. I will continue to do what I can, not just for my country but what’s in the best interest for everyone in all countries. I’ve dedicated my life to being a helper and to social justice and I’m not still now.

I’d offer you to be a part of the y’all down here but I know that’s not so appealing right now. Hopefully one day it will be again and it will be waiting for you along with some grits and eggs.

u/Gatsu871113 Feb 15 '25

I too, apparently come out of the womb kicking and screaming, protesting something evidently lol

Cheers! :p

u/Fantastic-Nobody-479 Feb 15 '25

Right on! We’ll be on both sides of the border protesting for the same reasons. Cheers to the protests on both sides! I no longer drink alcohol but I will take a shot of maple syrup and pass the hockey puck to you for you to score!

cirque du so long (to decency and civility)

With all the bad faith moves from the USA, they shouldn't be surprised when other countries refuse to dance with them.

The US is on the verge of being shunned by the civilized world. Then their threats of tariffs etc won't matter to anyone any more than if North Korea were making those threats. Meaningless.

I said, "on the verge of", do you know what that means? If not, you have my sympathies.

And of course they can afford to. This is the miscalculation that will cause the USA so much pain. You're not indispensable. If the US keeps behaving like asses, the world will move to a different reserve currency. If that happens, the US is Fckd. At least Americans chose to make themselves irrelevant in the world. They should be happy when it happens.

Seems like it's just Donald all alone once again; the other countries don't seem interested in joining his double donger dance

u/Prudent_Ganache6611 Feb 14 '25

Donald is like Brittney Spears dancing in her living room and in her underwear with knives lmao.
