Good. Get us entirely separated from the states. We need to get off that sinking ship as fast as possible.

Save yourselves first. Always put on your oxygen mask before turning to help someone else to put on theirs. Sigh, I wish it wasn't the case that this was necessary. And it is.

After you guys get safe can you help us with our oxygen masks please? Apparently 48% of us can't figure it out.

We'll help as much as we can, but despite all appearances we're still just one little guy here, and you guys apparently have a lot of work that needs to get done. We aren't gonna be able to do it all by ourselves. Start helping your own neighbors figure their shit out and don't wait for us to come to your rescue. We'll try, but can't make any promises when shit starts getting real like this.

I donโ€™t really know how you expect a country with a fraction of your population to be able to help you, and I donโ€™t really understand how eager you think a country your country is threatening to invade and annex is going to be to help you

For me, it's like this. Do you know people in the same way you know a country? I'm not talking to Canada, I'm talking to Canadians. And our country, USA is a lot effed up right now. And that's gonna harm a lot more USians than it will help, I fear. I know a few Canadians, and would do a lot for any of them because of who I know them to be on a personal, not national basis. Doubtless selection bias of some sort going on to be sure. Maybe you know some people of a different nationality, ethnicity, etc, and you know they are decent people even tho' it might be the case that their government is absolute shite. And I didn't ask for anything, Said 'save yourselves first' and gave a metaphor for why that is important, but for the moment I don't really need an o2 mask, it's a metaphor.
