    I’m leaving the country. I’m not helping these people.

    As I said- cowards.

    Spend your life sucking up the privilege that being an American affords you and then turn tail and run while those who can’t run have to stay and suffer.

      Yeah, that combined with the big servicing challenges for the F35s really makes me think getting them isn’t the right move. For once the glacial pace of Canadian military procurement helped us.

      So much money already spent on them for nothing. Brutally wasteful.

        Hi, failed expat here. Tried to move to Guelph legally in 2023-24 because Nazification of the USA was incredibly obvious to anyone who reads. Canadians changed their laws to be racist to Indians and excluded me, even though I am a white masters degree holder who had professional connections in the region.

        When I die fighting ICE outside of some middle school because I caught them trying to kidnap people at my work, know that I would have lived in peace. I literally just wanted to eat delicious cheesecake in Guelph with my hot wife (who doesn’t have full rights in the fucking USA).

        *edit: I want the people who are downvoting this to explain to me which part exactly they disagree with, because I think the implication is pretty disgusting generally.

          As is Canadian tradition. It is not even the biggest waste currently in military spending.

                What other options do you propose?

                I’m aware the midterms aren’t failsafe, but they’re the closest thing to hope that we have.

                And if people make the same mistake as last time by boycotting the vote, then their defeatism will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

                      It needs to happen regardless, but no, we are worse off than they were. There are a lot more ways to track people, which is one major negative. Back then there weren’t a system designed to prevent and punish striking. Now there is. If it ends up happening at the scale that’s needed to make a difference then there will be fights against private militias and the government again.

                      Fair enough.

                      Back then there weren’t a system designed to prevent and punish striking.

                      There was, we call it Pinkerton, among others. At least now you can organize out in the open.

                      then there will be fights against private militias and the government again.

                      There’s no nonviolent class conflict (which is what this needs to be), but the magnitude of the violence will increase exponentially with time as the fascists consolidate power.

                        I won’t pretend to know your circumstances, but usually overthrowing dictators requires you to break the law. The work to make that possible starts now.

                          I think Canada should be on notice right now. I can’t believe I would ever say such a thing, but as a US citizen it just seems to me like these people have no line they won’t cross.

                              Good for your friend and your parents. Lots of 1st generation people could have helped us and didn’t.

                              Anyway, don’t wish for my safety. Do not let these fascists have an inch in Canada. Not a bleeding inch.

                                I’m writing about specific people in a specific situation so I’d rather not go into a ton of detail but there were housing and work situations where any cooperation would have made all the difference for us.

                                  In this case we should consider that money spent determining how to avoid giving up our sovereignty.

                                  Hopefully we dodged a bullet.

                                          I’m not pretending it’s likely that we’ll have free and fair elections followed by a peaceful transfer of power, but we’re also not in “no chance in hell” territory yet, and it is our most likely option.

                                          If midterms come and go and it becomes obvious that elections were not both free and fair, or if there is no peaceful transfer of power in accordance with the will of the people as expressed by a free and fair election, then the third and fifth sentences of the Declaration of Independence come into effect.

                                          Until that time, or under more favorable conditions, the fourth sentence of the Declaration applies.
