Dw us and the injuns got pay back. How did reward them? Oh right…https://www.ontario.ca/page/indian-residential-schools

I absolutely love Bob and Doug McKenzie but they’re definitely not representative of the average Canadian. Like you said, they’re playing it up for their characters. They play an exaggerated stereotype of a dim-witted drunken Canadian. They’re kind of like Canadian Homer Simpsons in a way. A great comedy duo, truly one of the best, but most Canadians don’t sound like that.

Linus might be meaming it, but I have heard others say it. The aboat version of it is even common across the northern border in central US.

I also just ran across a video of two Canadian English teachers talking about it, but they too were almost in the aboat class.

What the hell’s wrong with 4 in 10 Canadians?

My only conclusion is that the pain numbers haven’t reached a point that requires action. Most people can’t see the forest for the trees and are painfully oblivious to what is going on because of whatever reason. Stupidity, willfully ignorance, it’s hurting the”right” people more, etc.

And by “my numbers” it’s more like 50%-60%. I just want you to understand that just because the government is doing it, doesn’t mean a plurality of the citizens feel the same way. Hell even some of the most ardent GOPers are starting to balk at the shit that’s happening.

Now, with that said, I would not come to the US as a foreigner for any reason right now whatsoever. It’s just not worth it.

We are definitely in the first few chapters.

Statesian here. Same.

I think the rest of the world thinks that too

I think that the rest of the world has been thinking that at some level already since shortly after WWII

That’s okay, I haven’t trusted America in decades, and I’m American. Canadians are wise to be mistrustful of our GOVERNMENT. Most of the people are mostly cool. It’s just the MAGAs you have to hide your kids from.

Strange way to bring up that particular atrocity.

Doesn’t seem to have any bearing on the subject matter of the OP, or the commenter you’re replying to.

Weird.

Yeah, talk about putting the cart before the horse.

There may have been thousands of guns there on Jan 6th but they only found like three in the hands of civilians. You’ll know if Americans get riled up enough to attack the capital.

And no, 70% of the population didn’t vote for him, he got just under 50% of the votes, but that was only about 23% of Americans.

Ah yes. Native American. Famously for participating the the Boston tea… Hold on…

Are you a bot?

Personally, my trust in any specific individual is entirely based on that individual, regardless of their nationality or any other factor… Because I’m not bigoted like that.

However, my trust in the American government and my willingness to use American brands has been permanently altered.

Given how much surveillance most major tech companies do on their users, I’m just about ready to break out the tin foil. Shit is getting wild.

This. I live in a bubble in California. We still have decent folks here. When I travel the country I tend to encounter the chuds at airport bars. The key chud indicator is to respond that you’re from San Francisco when they ask. They won’t be able to contain the fox news eulogy for San Francisco and how it used to be a great state before it got "ruined "

beef has gotten really expensive in the US.

Here is one of those people who shouldnt be trusted.

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

It’s not Guantanamo you gotta worry about. It’s El Salvador and Alligator Auschwitz.

By your numbers, 30% of Americans voted to keep Trump away from the Presidency. The other 70% did nothing to keep him out of office.

70% of Americans were happy enough with a Trump presidency that they at the very least did not lift a finger to prevent it. And 50% of the 70% actively supported him.

Was there a car show on that day?

Why now do we want to say that the 70% that enabled Trump “do not feel the same way”?
