Ah, yes. Canada, where all the people who have social services, healthcare, and general peace, without fear of daily shootings, try to escape from.
I wonder where all the drugs in Canada come from.(aside from weed. Everyone I know grows at home now)
Trump is not making America great. He's trying to destabilize the western economic system.
Trump hates NATO, The UN, and NAFTA. They were created after his father was born, so they must be bad ideas. That's why he loves tariffs so much, because his daddy sang their praises, because the rich tanking the economy in the 1920s and 1930s allowed Trump's grandfather to solidify his fortune, and allowed Trump's daddy to make his fortune, both by buying up everything they could on the cheap.
Depressions only inconvenience the rich, but allow them to get even more fabulously wealthy by buying up everything for pennies on the dollar. Depressions kill the poor, and harm what's left of the working middle class.
As a leftist I normally wouldn't even acknowledge that the middle class, aka, the petit bourgeois even exists as the poor and the rest of the workers are all one class, but in this one case it is useful to differentiate between the intentional harm that the ruling class is causing.
Well, it's because we already sent you all our worst. It took a stable genius to notice we did it. Everyone else just saw us as your nice friendly neighbours to the north, but remember how we behave in the wars? Where did all those people go?
Actually, it's become a little bit true lately as some Canadians were accidentally the recipient of whatever the hell made people into "MAGA people", so some of them actually have gone down to be closer to the "fountain of TRUTH"... and so they would look less silly wearing MAGA hats... I mean, sure, Canada is also technically America, but... yeah, they wear those hats up here too, luckily not as many.
That is hilarious.
No. It's not, really.
It's sad and terrifying how stupid and eager to harm others are.
Hehe, well it's hard to say "make america great again by voting for Trump" was intentionally targeted at Canadians. So while alot of the general stuff was less targeted, it's kind of crazy that one still managed to land on some Canadians.
Fair, though I would say the rhetoric was such that politicians more in line with Trump ideals got a boost from the more targeted messaging to Americans. Don't think it was the primary target, obvs, but I don't think it's purely incidental.
I may be wrong, but in a different social climate I feel we could've had Erin O'Toole instead of Lil' PP as the leader of the CPC into the upcoming election, which (strong fuck the CPC in general feelings aside) I'd be less unimpressed with. A lot of energy has been devoted to catering to far-right voters, and that is in no small part to sentiments which crossed the border (though to be realistic, definitely not the only factor at play here).
And likely has an escape plan to Russia ready for when shit hits the fan.
