"Doesn't matter what they feel, it matters what they do." NorCal raised, would rather not spend next year in a foxhole in Edmonton.

Hey... just checking - there's no historical precedent in which a fascistic and brazenly racist government goes after abstract and modernist art while rounding up and expelling undesirables, right?

The Kennedy Center began removing “Blue,” a sculpture on its grounds, on Wednesday morning with no prior announcement.

unfortunate but true - a nonzero amount of the time, canadians shooting their mouths off about trump straight up do not give even a fraction of a fuck about the vulnerable people trump is hurting, because in a different context they'd be his fucking base.

Sure man. I just wanted to clarify the nature of your contempt for my neighbors' sacrifices, since sometimes such sentiments come from people who can be redirected to useful work. in your case unfortunately it just seems to be solipsism with a pretty big helping of racism - unfortunate.

One thing that has amazed me with American BSky is how much the US admin keeps wishing for the destruction of Canada, and yet I keep getting told how it's hysterical to think that's the intent.

Lutnick pushes fracturing of Canada: "This is about the Liberal Party & Carney trying to use a kerfuffle w/ the US to gai leverage. They've got the sovereign party vote in Quebec on Oct 5. They've got an independence vote that starts the process of Alberta, who always feels ripped off by Ottawa... "

Choosing to vacation in America during a trade war should be disqualifying for a Canadian politician right now -- especially one purporting to fight for Canada and against the separatists running her own party. And yet. #cdnpoli #abpoli

I wonder what Nashville was known for before it became the music industry capital only 25 years ago in 2001. 🤷‍♂️ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"we should rename Mar-a-Lago something funny, make Google display that" My brother in Christ, the Ontario legislature can declare Google's workers in Ontario to be unionized and assign their collective labour rights to whichever union will be most militant, think bigger

They have every intention of rigging this election and trying to steal it And these are the same people who spent a decade falsely claiming elections are rigged It's the biggest, longest con in U.S. political history, and the whole country is its victim

American-Canadian here. This damage is likely permanent. Anyone who wants the US to regain Canada’s friendship needs to start advocating for massive unilateral concessions by a future US government.

Americans really don’t understand how evil Canadians view this rhetoric. We think it’s just “Trump being Trump” and trolling for lulz, but Lutnick here is threatening the sovereignty of our closest ally and biggest trading partner. This is a catastrophe, not easily remedied.

In fairness, the conclusion does repudiate the concept of Fortress North America and places the blame on the Trump administration's rhetoric and policies. But I think it misses the fact that for Canada and Mexico, this fight is now the one that really matters, with China a very distant second.

Republicans who see Canada as an enemy has leapt up this year, similar to how Republicans’ approval of Putin shot up in 2016. Virtually no anti-Canada US constituency before this year, and virtually no pro-Putin constituency before 2016. Out of nowhere. Now millions say that’s their position.

NEW Economist/YouGov Aug 28-31: Canada 38% of Republicans view Canada as unfriendly or an enemy of the U.S., by far the highest level in the past decade yougov.com/en-us/articl...

I'd say the GOP have won supermajorities this November. Americans, how does it feel to be as autocratic as Russia? You are just an extension of Trump's will, and Canada will see you as such.

The most generous possible reading I can give is that you have to start rebuilding trust on the world stage by making up with your immediate neighbours. But I do think that essentially means revolutionary defeatism from a US perspective.

This means every blue state and blue precinct is tossup at worst for the GOP. Trump is getting his supermajorities in Congress and in 2/3s of states so he can pass constitutional amendments.
