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.
That video deserves its own post. 😁🙂
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
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.
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.
A profound apology would also help.
I was actually just thinking about that, sort of.
The childish and sort of pathetic nature of the whole thing led me to visualize a hardass middle-aged mom dragging Trump up to Canada by the ear and standing him in front of everyone and saying, "Donnie has something he wants to say to you all, don't you Donnie (pinch)"
In a way, that's exactly what that manbaby needs.
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.
It is their entire adversarial culture that needs to change. The Americans HAVE to have an enemy, even if they change a friend into an enemy.
Never for me regardless if who's ruling is democrats or republican
tRump is just a symptom. The USA is and always has been an oligarchy, founded on genocide and grown through slavery, patriarchy and misogyny. The original constitution gave ALL political power to Rich White Males and only superficial changes have been made over the last 250 years, the real power still remains with the oligarchs. tRump has just dropped the mask for the world to see what a fascist shit-stain of a country the U.S. really is at its core. The world (and Canada) will be extremely unwise to ever trust them again no matter which faction of the oligarchy is in power.
When Americans understand what ' recognition and reconciliation policy' is all about, they might also understand where they went wrong with Canadians.
Nope. Not in my lifetime.
Maybe if a friendly Congressperson offers to be an escort through customs.
I might, in four years or so, but probably not. There's a segment of Americans that have the memories of goldfish.
Hopefully, Canadians will have a LONG memory.
Not again in my lifetime. (Presumably a lot longer than 4 years)
I'll be fascinated to see who the R candidate is, and if the election is free and fair at all.
If Trump is in any state to do anything about it, it won't be.
Yeah, that's where my money is too. He's ruled out running himself, though, and I believe him just based on him being old and having never been a good fit fit for the actual work of the job.
FWIW, unlike there, they elect their senators.
