Canada

As an American: DO NOT TRUST REPUBLICANS.

“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.

Not woke and DEI enough to receive our trade and tourism dollars, sorry.

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.

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.

There are simply too many reasons to say no. How the US treats people entering and leaving the country. How due process is ignored for people within the country.

In broad terms the US is an unkind society. This is not to say that there are not kind individuals, but they are unable to influence the overall norm that is so clearly on display.

You don’t get to cause so many damages to a partner and then suggest we give you another chance. That ship has sailed and I am ready for us to find other trading partners and address our own internal trade barriers.

“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.

Don't give us another chance until we grow up.

-US citizen

Spoken like any abuser to their victim.

Until we stop electing sociopaths, we don’t deserve a second chance from anybody. Canadians know that, unlike the fools who elected you.

Senators, all you’re doing is further insulting a previously close ally. The best thing you can do is shut up.

From NYT:

As for Mr. Trump’s threats of annexation? “We don’t even want them to be the 51st state,” Mr. Cramer said with a laugh. But unable to resist, he added: “We want Alberta to be the 51st state. And then we have two Republican senators.”

Fuck these guys. They're the usual entitled American idiots, blundering around in foreign countries without understanding them.

Watching them go through the stages of grief is immensely satisfying. Should've thought of that before you threatened our sovereignty.

Come to America !

See our beautiful prisons and concentration camps.

Buy American and you can feel like a Nazi too!

"I want another chance!"

My 5 year old kid likes to say this, when I've finally imposed some consequences for doing something she shouldn't be doing after she's ignored my repeated requests to stop doing it. She usually says it while still doing the thing that caused the issue in the first place.

"we'll talk after your next election, if you have one."

10 years after you hang that orange Turd we might think about it. Until then fuck off.

Go jump in a lake

Keep safe Canada. Dont give in. My heart has hope you will stay safe out of these people's grasp.

Much love.

How about fucking off to your backwards country.

As a citizen of both countries, my vote is on 'no; not for a very long time if ever'.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No.

🤣😸😂😝😹🥹🤨🤣😸😝😅🙄🫤

No.

Eject the fascist first, then we can talk.

This is the only response needed to any overtures from the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAbATWsvjTE

And sorry Democrats, until you get your Republican problem under control, we can't trust you either. In 2016 it looked like it might just be a flare-up, but the reappearance of symptoms indicates that the infection is deeper and ongoing.

I don't know if that is a good idea for us. Even if in two years they take back congress and the senate, the next two years after that they could put in another pack of lunatic fascists. I think we should continue with our diversifying strategy and put much more effort into CETA and CPTPP.

Never for me regardless if who's ruling is democrats or republican

This motivates me more in my boycott.

Nah.

Actually, US senators are in a position to do something that would actually go some way toward repairing relations with Canada - they can (with the House's cooperation) remove the profoundly mentally ill, immensely dangerous and brazenly corrupt demagogue Trump from office.

Nothing short of that is going to accomplish much of anything though. As long as that psychopath is in office, incrementally turning the presidency into a dictatorship from which to pursue his literally insane agenda, nobody will or should trust the US for anything.

hey canada, actually keep up the good work. we got some folks down here who don't get it yet. we'll be in touch once we've fixed our shit

Eat my entire ass, until the fascist is out and you take real steps to make sure that can't happen again, I'll shop elsewhere. I learned to cook over this.

No.

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.

Why? It's abundantly clear any further chances will be pissed upon.

Suck it republican maga traitors. You’re trump’s slaves and everyone knows it.

Do not capitulate. The greedy fucks in charge right now want you to buckle and make them look tough. We need MAGAts to suffer so that there's no doubt who is solely to blame for this.

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.

"We still love you as much as ever" said senator Tim Kaine.

And we love you as much as ever - but it has never been as much as you think.

Canada and Canadians have always harboured a quiet, seething resentment towards the US - even as our snowbirds have flown south in the winter and we've greedily bought crap on Amazon. As proud as we are of Canadian musicians hitting the big time, we're slightly bitter that we spend more time listening to American content.

I think it's fair to say that we've always - at least in my 50+ years of awareness - felt the pressure of living next door to a ten-ton behemoth that fills our every waking moment just by merely leaking across the border.

And now the dam has broken. Trump has made things so unbearable that we finally have the resolve to break free. It's going to be tough, it's going to hurt for a number of years, we're going to suffer financially in the short-mid term, but I'm confident that we're going to do it. We will not allow ANY country or trading partner to control our destiny as much as the US has done since 1959.

So thanks for the love, but I'm afraid we're still getting out of this toxic relationship.

Your leaders and their Corpo-Masters have repeatedly made comments about Invading us,

you look for every opportunity to whitewash and shield the Genocidal, Warmongering terrorist regime in Russia, who I might add, considers themselves to be at war with us, and you. And during a time thats basically the opening salvo of WW3, You decide to say its the Europeans and Canadians that are treating you "nastily"

And while all this disrespect and devils advocacy for our enemies, you stamp your feet and scream that we join the team and get ready to go to war with China for you, Hardly anyone in the world had a problem with China, Until America started getting afraid that their hegemony would be challenged in the 21st century. So let me be clear, if Russia and Ukraine isnt your war, China Isnt our war.

and thats all before we even mention the flip flopping trade wars and your insistance on waging a "culture war" in your own country, slowly turning everything in the room to be something the Proud Boys would blush at.

No, America, most of us aren't on speaking terms with you right now, the best thing you can do , is shut the fuck up and go away for a while.
