6 in 10 Canadians say they can never trust Americans the same way again

How does an American pronounce it?
A vast majority of the Canadians I know pronounce it the same way as “out”, “sprout”, “trout” etc.
To me a standard American accent sounds like they’re replacing the OU with AW, “abawt”. Or maybe “abowt” if they pronounced it like the bow of a ship (not like a fancy knot or the weapon).

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.
I’m a fan of pointing out that we aren’t even the only United States in North America.

Seems low. Where I live it’s probably closer to 90-95%

I get it, but like, this isn’t something the American people did. This has been orchestrated over decades by the wealthiest evilest mfers on earth. Definitely dont trust our government and dont trust the red-hatted folks, but do realize that if this plays out how they want, all of the regular peiple of the world are going to need to set aside that distrust. It has spread to England and Germany. Canada wont be immune.
The American people control who is elected at the voting booth. THEY did this.

Sure…the US will let a country park nukes next door. See what happened the last time someone tried that.
Rapist convict trump can suck it. We’ll burn down the White House again if he pisses around.

You’re telling me that people like Steve Bannon don’t go to Europe to spread their hateful shitty rhetoric all around the world? Or that 77 million that voted for Trump have nothing to do with his election?
I know it’s not “all of them”, but it’s a good chunk. It lowers the trust level in general, want it or not.

Americans still enabled it. Fuck em.

After this nightmare is over, the Untied States need a complete overhaul
Holy fuck people like you are the problem. America isn’t coming back from this. Imagine being this clueless in 2025. This facist authoritarian government is there to stay for the next decades.

Absolutely. Americans, Israeli, Russians are all regular people caught in the crossfire. There are some shitheads in support of their governments, and there are plenty more of those who reject it and will happily join the opposing forces, uniting internationally over the same goal.
And outside of political lens, people are still the same as they were a year or two or three ago. It’s just that different political circumstances highlight particular kinds of people.
The majority of Israelis support the massacre. Theyre not blameless.
-
American here and I agree.
Even within the borders of this asylum, the “6 in 10 don’t trust the US and/or the average American” feels like it would be in the ballpark for the locals. For the people living next to this shit, yeah more like your numbers.

So you’re still saying it will end eventually?

Yet, you cannot blame any given Israeli. Those who do not commit genocide should not receive scrutiny

Canada has a serious problem with a long term ally attacking our trade and saying we’re going to become their 51st state. Trump mocks and attacks our leaders and makes threats against us.
You can try to belittle my comments, but we have a valid reason to feel threatened.
I am Canadian, so what is this we?
If he invades Canada, that will start WW3, he won’t do it. He is too busy destabilising his own country, and deporting people. Also, we have no nukes, compared to the u.s. having over +5,000.
I think we should up security checks for guns and drugs coming into Canada, but not search phones unless we have probable cause. We don’t have to stoop down to Donald Trump’s level.
Make them feel welcomed coming into our country, and hated going back into their own country. We don’t need a wall, or nukes. You silly Goober.

Many of my friends are American trans people desperate to be able to stay here, terrified of going back.

Awt. I went awt and abawt.

I think Linus does it as a meme, more than as part of his natural speech.
And Bobsdecline is from the opposite coast.
The aboot thing is mostly a southern Ontario thing, but since that is where a lot of traditional media comes from, it is the most commonly exported Canadian regional accent.
aboot is all East coast. Where two things are side by each.

A brave-enough Congress could overhaul the Supreme Court, as they had in the past.
Unfortunately that level of courage is missing from most current politicians.
A brave Congress would require an overhaul of the election system. It is pretty much a catch 22. Also, if there are going to be elections in the future, they will have been corrupted as hell, the 2024 one was definitely not legitimate. The Republicans are not going to voluntarily relinquish power anymore.

Eh, I’m a pretty big fan of democracy. I kinda think I would have supported the side that wasn’t about hereditary dictatorship.
But clearly, a lot of history has happened since then.
It wasn’t about democracy back then either. It was about a small, mostly slave owning, elite taking over.

Yes, the wording there was carefully chosen. It was a rationalist thing and not about democracy, but it was open to the idea at least a bit, while the other thing was a monarchy and an empire (and also slave-owning).
Liberal thinkers at the time definitely tended to side with the Patriots. After the war, going with a new monarchy was considered, but in the end they were nudged into a republic about as democratic as any that had existed to that point.
