    Fuck the US Government, everyone in it, and every citizen living under it.

    Every single person in the US is either in full support of this nonsense, pretending like a petition or election is going to stop a “Fascist regime” from taking over, don’t care as long as it isn’t them, (edit) or chronically online ignoramus’ who believe violence is the only solution because being a lazy cunt hasn’t worked yet. Like always, we have to deal with their shit when it hits the fan because of proximity and I am sick of it.

    It doesn’t matter who is in power down there, Canadians always get fucked over by the US Government.

    We need to completely disconnect from that country and close our borders to them. No more US Companies in our borders, no more trade, no more tourism, no more intelligence cooperation or military support, just a complete disconnect. Not until Trump is out, or the Democrats regain a little power, but indefinitely until the point when our ideologies actually align and the US can demonstrate they aren’t a terrorist state masquerading as “Leader of the free world”.

        Did I miss another category or are you just upset by the group you are a part of?

          I know you’re upset. We all are. But blaming every American isn’t the answer. Take a few deep breaths and collect your thoughts.

          Remember, WE actually have to live in this country. People are suffering more than our neighbors right now. Please don’t disregard their feeling because you’re next door and upset. We actually have to live through this daily.

            I am not blaming every American and expecting it to be an answer. I am airing my grievances with your shit ass Government and uneducated population because it is a big fucking problem hoping you get your collective shit together.

            Welcome to Democracy. It is a team game. Everyone is to blame for a loss.

            I have collected my thoughts and concluded that your pretentious attitude should have been left out of your response.

            Remember, WE actually have to live in this country. People are suffering more than our neighbors right now. Please don’t disregard their feeling because you’re next door and upset. We actually have to live through this daily.

            Remember YOU got what you put in. I have been alive for almost 36 years and the entire time the USA has been a fucking joke to Canada and the rest of the world, and it is because of shit like Trump always happening. Even your “good” Presidents are hostile to Canada and the rest of the world. Biden increased Trumps tariffs from the previous admin continuing to damage my home province, and Obama really loved those drone strikes.

            We have to live through this shit daily too but the difference is we can do shit all about your shenanigans. We cannot vote the idiots you let in out. We cannot educate the 75% of your adult population that is functionally or clinically illiterate.

            One last time:

            Get your collective uneducated shit together.

          You’re just another commenter spouting bullshit into a void. Keep going if want. Just making it clear to others how much bs is out there.

                No shit, but it wastes your time for a brief moment

                It is always interesting when trolls self depreciate in an attempt to attack another. I know, like every one in your life has always known, that any interaction with you is a complete waste of time. We all choose to waste time in different ways and one of the ways I choose to do that is interacting with ignoramus’ so that I can later laugh at them with my partner.

                I appreciate your continued effort to “waste my time” by providing us with comic relief in these troubling time. 👍

      This is a class war, don’t get it twisted. The working class in the US are a bulwark against that shit coming here.

      By all means, fuck the Cheeto & large American corpos. But working class is working class. Don’t be selling us out to Loblaws just because you decided some farmer in Minnesota is to blame for the broken system they have down there.

        Trump is dismantling the country piece by piece and no one is doing shit all to stop it, including and especially the working class. This is not a class war. This is the beginning of an Economic war which could escalate further because Trump intends to annex Canada.

        This is the fault of every US citizen whether they voted for it or are currently standing by and letting it happen.

        By all means, fuck the Cheeto & large American corpos. But working class is working class. Don’t be selling us out to Loblaws just because you decided some farmer in Minnesota is to blame for the broken system they have down there.

        No, fuck all of them. Class doesn’t matter here, every citizen of that country is responsible for this mess.

        I haven’t shopped at Loblows in almost 20 years and anyone who thinks shopping there supports Canadians is an ignoramus.

        Farmers are not working class, the people who work on their farms are. They also voted for Trump in large numbers.

        Every US citizen is responsible for the broken system. That is how Democracy works.

          If you think democracy is to blame here, you need to educate yourself about how things work down there. Capitalists have bought and paid their way through elections playing both parties for decades & pumping out propaganda from the media networks they own.

          There is no party for the working class in the US. Voters largely did NOT vote for Trump. They voted to abstain or held their nose and voted for the least-bad option. And of those who did vote for Trump they did so in protest & a lack of better options. That’s why Trump is in office, and the oligarchs are just playing you into believing otherwise lest the working class realizes we outnumber them.

          Blaming common folk for the exploits of billionaires is exactly what your owners want you to be doing. Your anger and outrage is important and valuable, but you need to wake up and place the blame where it belongs.

      I don’t think isolating ourselves from the only people that we can trade with without crossing an ocean is feasible, but we should certainly give nothing voluntarily.

        I don’t think proximity is a good enough excuse to do business with a hostile nation, especially in a world of technology that makes things like inter continental trade much easier. We have ports on both sides of our country, and negotiated trade deals, to reach these markets with further negotiations taking place as we speak.

        Will it hurt? Yes.

        Is that a reason to not disconnect from the USA? No.
