6 in 10 Canadians say they can never trust Americans the same way again
-
Canada needs a nuke now more than ever. Build it. And any time the orange fuckhead threatens annexation load it up in the silo.
Might need more than one but you got the spirit
-
I’ve noticed a lot of stupid people say a lot of stupid stuff in my life, yes
Lol you’re one to talk.

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…
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.

It took you guys this long ??

Like Ah-bout… “bout” pronounced like a fight between two people.
Yeah that’s the same up here for most folks I know.

We Minnesotans are hoping to be annexed by Canada
I’ll annex you if you have good cheap real estate and some big farm girls.

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.
It’s harder to make a joke with zed vs zee.

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.

6 in 10 Canadians had too much trust in US citizens

Sure…the US will let a country park nukes next door. See what happened the last time someone tried that.
-
precisely, I don’t hate Americans, I just can’t trust them blindly
I trust that their only interest and motivation is money.

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.
I disagree. Drive out to rural Ontario, read the literal Trump and PPC signs, we’re no better than any Red State.

Oof… sorry.
-
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.
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!

The ones who preferred Harris, sure. The ones who preferred Trump got what they wanted without having to vote.

The Kim dynasty is still in power.

One time I was having a conversation with a woman that I had never met before. About 5 minutes into the conversation, she used a word with the “ou” vowel sound and I asked her if she was Canadian. She was caught off guard and didn’t understand how I correctly assumed she was Canadian.
