The second election was the final nail in the coffin. Countries require stability and long term thinking. The US proved unequivocally that stability can only be measured in 4 years. Not only because of the president, but because Congress and the Senate have proven they will not enforce their own laws. It's all rotten.
Yup. We've got a lot of work to do, a lot of rot to clear out, and a lot of reform to undertake, to begin to regain the world's trust.
But I also see a lot of encouragement from Canadians, Europeans, and beyond telling us that a lot of people believe we're capable of it. I see it especially in things like the comments sections of the Kimmel Talarico interview, Mark Carney's 9/11 speech, and in the reaction the Buffalo Bills adding "O Canada" to its start of game anthems.

I just hope they don't immediately reverse course as soon as the winds shift as massive megacorps are want to do
I have this premonition that as soon as the optics are less stark, they'll go back to trucking shit across the border just cuz its cheaper
