    They probably should have. It might have changed history a bit if they had.

      You know Canadians burn down the white house, right? And the first nation people were the one that led the atk? Right?

        No matter how good a person could be, I wouldn’t trust them if they are easily manipulated in believing BS. I won’t hate them, but I won’t trust them.

        Anyone with an bit of judgement could see what Trump was. And yet he was elected. Twice!

        So all these “good people” have cpntributed to elect a fascist twice already. You want me to trust they won’t elect another one after him? That this is a two times mistake and Canadians can rely on the US after that?

        Nope.

        Maybe they were lied to about Trump. They will be lied to again by others about other fascists.

        You can blame education, oligarchs propaganda, whatever. Point is: Canada can’t rely on the USA, even if Trump goes away.

        This might put some of it into a better perspective…

        You would be amazed at how easily you can be manipulated…

        You will probably sit there and say not me never, but you probably have been manipulated and tricked into thinking differently and didn’t even realize it…

          As an American, the other 4 out of 10 must be idiots. GOP is on a mission to destroy everything that makes America a superpower.

                And you’ve been graceully and entirely missing the point of my comment. So maybe you should wonder what state of mind you’re in right now?

                It looks to me that you’re more here to push a narrative about manipulation than discussing the topic.

                        I never understood this stereotype (aboot vs about). I’m Canadian, lived here all my life, my family is all Canadian and all have lived here all their lives. I’ve got family all across the country, from the western coast of BC to the eastern coast of Newfoundland, from the northern stretches of Nunavut to the most southern tip of Ontario, and very rarely have I ever heard it pronounced that way. It’s actually really funny as a Canadian to look up “how to speak like a Canadian” and watch how awful most of the “tips” are. I’d recommend it.

                          Ah, Threads and some other lower quality social media are full of people making snarky comments to users from the States, saying something to the effect of “we are also in the Americas, so we’re Americans, you’re a US-ian”.

                          It all basically stems from the fact that in Spanish, the demonym for people from the US is “estadounidense” (United-Statesian) whereas “America” is used to refer to all of North and South America as a regions. People are too dumb to realise “America” has a different connotation in the two languages and it devolves into flame wars.

                          This is almost 100% a latin american thing. They’re taught that the americas are a single continent. For some reason they’re really stuck on this point as if it’s some kind of gotcha (it isn’t). Everyone (including them) are aware of what nation is being discussed when we say america/americans. They should just get over it.

                              Sure…the US will let a country park nukes next door. See what happened the last time someone tried that.

                                  Americans always tell themselves these lies. Yes, only 65% voted, but the ones who didn’t vote weren’t all non-voting democrats. About half would have voted Trump if they’d voted. It’s not some small minority that supported Trump, it was a majority.

                                  Not voting was a vote for anti democracy. So they got what they didn’t vote for.

                                    Right now, they are a danger for more than just Canadians.

                                    I’m not trying to be an apologist. I’m just saying most of us aren’t that stupid, xenophobic, and racist. But some of us definitely are.

                                        Canada has their own far-right wing. I bet around 30% are MAGA types. If you look at any election, 30% usually vote insane.

                                          This Canadian has been avoiding all US products I can and has zero plans to ever cross into the US border.

                                          Americans are fucking stupid can’t be trusted.

                                          Canada should fortify it’s southern border and get nukes.

                                          I would even be into an American style vetting on Americans wanting into Canada. Lets check their phones. Sorry, MAGAt. You support Nazi’s and Trump. Fuck off!
