In other words, some Republican senators still want to insert the knife into Caanda, to drain our lifeblood, but they want it done compassionately.

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

Much love.

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

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.

[–] Revan343 4 points 2 hours ago

I think it's more likely individual states or blocs of them regain our trust by seceding

[–] theacharnian 6 points 3 hours ago

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.

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

[–] scott_anon_21 27 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

The Americans are an adversarial us-vs-them society. There always has to be a loser in the American culture.

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

Go fuck yourself!

Quit being cunts and maybe people will eventually give us another chance, but I won't blame them if they don't.

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.

[–] Sunshine 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

This motivates me more in my boycott.

[–] k0e3 2 points 48 minutes ago

Exactly, because it shows our efforts are working.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 65 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

As an American: DO NOT TRUST REPUBLICANS.

[–] Daryl 8 points 6 hours ago

As a Canadian, DO NOT TRUST AMERICANS IN GENERAL.

No.

Eject the fascist first, then we can talk.

[–] Daryl 4 points 6 hours ago

No, no talk until they understand "recognition and reconciliation policy. "

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago

The best thing senators can do is vote to convict Trump's impeachment.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm a fan of balkanization. That'd fix a lot of problems quickly, albeit for a limited number of states and at the cost of making things worse for other states.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

I read this in the voice of professor farnsworth from futurama.

“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.

“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.

[–] Daryl 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

An unambiguous apology and groveling would help.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It wouldn't hurt.

I'm fine with some governor expressing concern with harm to their local economy, as that's literally their job.

But this is geopolitics, and they're clearly out of their element when trying to grasp the stakes.

[–] Daryl 6 points 5 hours ago

Americans do not even TRY to understand Canadians.

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

[–] Daryl 7 points 6 hours ago

You have almost an entire POPULATION that 'doesn't get it yet'.

Call us when you understand what 'recognition and reconciliation policy'. is all about.

[–] DMCMNFIBFFF 3 points 6 hours ago

Maybe if a friendly Congressperson offers to be an escort through customs.

[–] Daryl 33 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] Darkassassin07 18 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] egerlach 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] AGM 11 points 8 hours ago

What a completely tactless piece of trash thing to say.

[–] canajac 16 points 9 hours ago

How about fucking off to your backwards country.

[–] bowreality 7 points 8 hours ago

Nope. Not in my lifetime.
