While Canadians are using “elbows up” diplomacy with the white house, they are welcoming U.S. tourists with open arms.

      I know a few people who feel that we are under imminent threat of unimaginable violence. It does things to you.

      Most of them see certain usa cultural behaviours and feel that’s where the risk comes from. It’s too hard for them to articulate or figure out how to filter through it, so it comes out as blanket rejection and distrust. Not sure I have seen any outright hate yet, it’s mostly defensive.

      Also I have seen a lot of USA people online confuse that distrust with hate, obviously feeling touchy.

      Oh yeah this is easy, thanks for asking.

      If you want to visit Canada, take care of the shit happening at home first. Rebel, revolt, overthrow your government, whatever you have to do to get your affairs on order.

      Until you have control of your country again, keep your fucking American taint as far away from Canada as possible. I dont want the American disease to spread up here.

      You are the enemy right now. Literally the enemy, none of you get a free pass.

      GET YOUR SHIT IN ORDER. until then, you are not welcomed. No enemy is.

      And for the record, I don’t hate Americans. I simply dont no trust in Americans anymore. You ignorant cunts.

      “We want Canada.” Is a fucking chant I have heard at hockey games. Fuuuuuuck thaaat. Fuck you. Stay away.

          For the record I don’t hate you. But just like a neighbour that beat his wife, I wouldn’t allow him or any of his family to visit me until there was no wife beating going on.

          Everyone I America is sick and that sickness needs to stay away from us healthy countries, until it is no longer sick.

          Take care of the wife beater, and then you have permission to visit again.

      I’m with the OP and don’t think it needs or deserves explanation.

      Fix your county before we all die. Nobody outside can do it for you.

      He’s going to fucking invade counties soon. Oops, sorry, America is going to invade countries soon, including Canada.

          My German grandma’s family immigrated to Canada right after WW1 and that’s what they faced. She lost her language, and even if I asked her questions about Germany she would just turn away from me and not answer.

          She never cooked German food either … it was all Swedish for my grandpa.

          remember, after WW2 victims of the Nazi régime were still victimized for being German for decades even though many were children or had zero control over their nation at the time.

          Trump is still in power, right now, at this very moment. If you feel helpless in the face of what’s going on, that’s one thing, but what is being talked about isn’t some bygone era of days past. It’s the literal present.

              My point wasn’t that I had a step-by-step comprehensive guide to solve everything from the moment that you read these words, my point was that the analogy of “sins of the father” doesn’t work because 70 percent of the current living electorate looked at fascism and either were completely apathetic to it or actively sought it out. There are very legitimate reasons why Canadians are not going to be fond of Americans now and for some time to come. The threat of annexation is both real and current.

              Rebel, revolt and kill those in power is a good starting point.

              I think we are clear on this.

              We can’t invade you, so take care of your own shit.

          Then get rid of him, so we can begin the looooooooooooooooong road towards healing this completely fractured relationship.

          We only deal with what is, which is all of America is our enemy now. You know we are preparing for an invasion right?
