I’d imagine there’s also a monetary reason they didn’t in the first place too. I’m not sure if it was cheaper to just import from Canada or what, but I’d imagine things will be a lot more expensive for Americans even once things are all worked out (in the unlikely scenario the US ever even returns to being a stable country which seems unlikely at this point)

I thought the US didn’t need anything from anyone else? Isn’t that what you said?

Cuba (full ban on travel)

Christ will the US just leave Cuba alone already. You won the Cold War (ignoring recent events), just let them be

“Why won’t he just hear the concerns of the people calling for his death!!”

Not to mention all the restrictions they were complaining about were put in place by the provinces. Ironically it was a Conservative premier in Ontario’s case.

*three years ago. I live downtown Ottawa and remember the convoy distinctly (unfortunately) but you made me feel like time was passing even quicker than it already is lol

… does Ukraine even get anything out of that? It doesn’t sound like Ukraine benefits in any way.

It’s like “here’s the deal: you just give me $1 million”

Does the term “legally” even matter in US politics anymore?

Just don’t mention the 91% tax rate for the rich from back then

My (and other) country being threatened with invasion? Not only ruining your only economy but intentionally destroying countless others? Setting up nazi-esque camps? LGBTQ+ people being othered to the point of violence? What is wrong with you

Even if the Democrats did absolutely nothing the moment they got voted in to the day they were voted out, it’d be immeasurably better than the shit the Republicans are doing.

This way of thinking is why the rest of the world is getting pissed off at ALL Americans, not just the Republicans.

Edit: do some harm reduction and THEN fight for better politics. With the way things are going there’s only going to be one party to “vote” for anyway

Yeah, I have never hated the USA more than I do now, and Americans kind of pissed me off before all this already with the whole superiority complex thing. Even if everything reversed course overnight, Canadians won’t ever forget any of this

No chance. Canada would be a guerrilla war zone for many, many years. One of Canadian’s most important identities is being not American.

Yeah, voting in an American election would be the very last thing I’d be doing. There’s no way in hell I’m becoming American while I’m still alive (and same goes for everyone I’ve talked to here in Canada)

Even the most non violent people I’ve heard say they’d fight to remain sovereign. Nobody here wants this

Yeah I’m getting really sick of that. Invading another country isn’t just “a distraction”

To say the least

You sound like a poorly trained AI/ML model

and at least one AI model seems to agree

That actually made me laugh

Yeah, definitely no argument from me there

Yeah, I’m very cautious about any criticism of CPP, even if it’s right. A lot of entities (especially Alberta) seem to be trying to kill it right now.

They seriously treat us like we’re deaf, blind and dumb.

Some people are though so it's good to get the message out
