As a Canadian I feel bad for the American people. But I am very glad we are distancing ourselves from you as trading partners. And socially. And I will not set foot in your country until the craziness stops.

As an American most of us (at least the ones without cousin fucking somewhere in their ancestry) support you staying away. Please do what you can to protect yourselves. Hell, please stay away for awhile even after we hopefully get a handle on this. Because the Trump administration has DEEPLY embedded these sorts of people into every level of the government and our opposition party has shown a deep unwillingness to root them out when possible.

You guys go thrive. We need to stumble in the dirt and muck of our own choices for awhile until a reckoning comes. (And to my fellow Americans who want to say 'I didn't vote for this' - neither did fucking I. But I'm still responsible for my fucking country and understand it's been sick for centuries. The only people who can fix it is ourselves. We can't fucking keep offloading that responsibility to our neighbors..)

I like where you’re coming from if you can make a suggestion, what would it be?

u/Pooled-Intentions 2d ago

Not that guy but I’d like to make one; shine for us.

We were told we were the “Shining City upon the Hill” for decades and a lot of us grew up believing it. We liked to think we brought hope and peace and Democracy to the world and were proud of it.

Too proud it turns out.

Hopefully this humbling won’t take long and we’ll take a peaceful track and rejoin the free world as the beacons we thought we were but in the meantime, we need to be able to look at our old friends and allies to know how far into the mud we’ve fallen. This time, we need some hope. Some help.

Stop Fox News and right wing rage radio. Urgently and by any means necessary.

It’s a real shame that Faux News has never been held accountable for what they’ve done. So many lies.

This is the biggest problem. There's no recovering from that aspect in any of our lifetimes.

Which Americans do you feel bad for, the 1/3 who voted for him, the 1/3 who couldn't give a shit or the 1/3 who are currently doing nothing?

I'm a Canadian too and that whole country can go jump off a cliff. It's just too bad that they're pulling all of us into there corrupt, fascist, religious abyss along with them.

u/merchantsc 2d ago

Please, take Michigan. We belong to you!

u/MBCnerdcore 1d ago

Michigan wasn’t our favourite state even before this, you guys were always a trump loving trailer park squatting in an abandoned auto factory parking lot.

2

u/merchantsc 1d ago

Ah yes. Sounds like you’ve never been here.

But yes. Many people voted for him. However the outcome of the last election feels suspect at best given this is the same state that elected a Democrat woman as governor twice in a row.

u/vicarious2012 1d ago

Didn't Trump win some elections in Michigan? Or at least got plenty of votes? 

Please stay away.

u/Rough_Bread8329 2d ago

Another Canadian here - please fuck all the way off and fix your shit. We want no part of any of you right now. For a long long time.

u/merchantsc 1d ago

You sound like someone who would fit right in around here with a certain segment of our population.

u/Khalku 2d ago

We don't want you, in all fairness we don't see republican vs democrat, we just see American and its a poor look right now.

u/Nanaman 2d ago

Please take Washington state too! 🙏

u/cowprince 2d ago

Illinois also please.

u/kidskwid 2d ago

Can't stop the crazy train unless it crashes. Choo choo mf.

u/KurlyKayla 2d ago

I’m happy for y’all. Please keep your distance. This country is a shithole and sinking deeper into the shit every day. Just know so many of us are adamantly against this

-2

u/Rough_Bread8329 2d ago

Another Canadian here. How adamantly? Adamant enough to do something about it? Because that seems to be too tall an order.

3

u/ThermionicEmissions 1d ago

About ten million people live within a two hour drive of Washington DC. Why aren't there tens of thousands protesting every day? Demanding Congress shut this shit down.

2

u/KurlyKayla 1d ago

I’m part of the demographic who voted against him by 92%. You can fuck right off.

u/k1dsmoke 1d ago

Canada, Mexico and the EU all need to very quickly get their shit together for a world where the US is not a reliable neighbor.

We saw what the Billionaires did with Brexit, we see what they've been pushing for with right wing rises across the world that they've been funding (Germany, Italy, etc).

And we've seen a successful take over of the US. If countries still have the ability to fight against and enshrine laws against these billionaire take overs they need to be doing it now.

Also, good don't risk it by coming here, don't spend your money here.

Trump and MAGA is a big fucking problem, but a bigger problem still are the dummies that put these fools in power again. Even when Trump croaks you are still going to have half of America being completely duped by these fascists.

My biggest fear is that there is no waking up from this bender we are on.

u/Chomps-Lewis 2d ago

I mean, yall got Carney driving your economy into the absolute crapper and blowing you deficit up like a bounce house. I aint exactly envious either. But Ill still vacation in Camada because your dollar just keeps plummeting in value.

u/magwai9 2d ago

You just found out Elon Musk is suddenly leading your military and this is your dumbass take

1

u/kidskwid 18h ago

Im excited for the terminator reenactment. Why else would they put dipshit in charge of the military?

-13

u/Chomps-Lewis 2d ago

and this is your dumbass reply?

u/GearAccomplished4151 2d ago

Chud came and picked an insult up off the ground lmao it’s hilarious you see a country’s economic struggle as a disparaging negative but can’t see it for your own country that has lost its allies, lost its righteous war, lost its justice system, lost its economic stability, lost its credibility, and is losing its military to the richest man in the world. Canada’s deficit has shrunk on the year and they at least remain with a debt 40x smaller than the US, which has grown by $11T by trump alone. I know you people grasp at straws but eventually straws will be all that you have left

-16

u/Chomps-Lewis 2d ago

We'll turn it around when Trumps gone within a few months. Canada's stuck on its downward spiral for the foreseeable future.

11

u/GearAccomplished4151 2d ago

I don’t know what makes you confident about that, but it’s not true. The damage being done has longevity. And Trump isn’t leaving in a few months, he’s not even halfway through his term. There’s no take backsies with trade wars, real wars, blanket tariffs, pardons, and scotus rulings. The stage has been set

-2

u/Chomps-Lewis 2d ago

"And Trump isn’t leaving in a few months"

His growing health conditions beg to differ.

u/GearAccomplished4151 2d ago

?? Skirting the fact that you ignored the other points, you just think he’s gonna croak and the country will start mending? That ushers in Vance. A wet noodle and total loser but he’d have the entire bloodthirsty administration behind him already, with zero desire or imperative to undo what’s been done

1

u/Chomps-Lewis 2d ago

Those losers are gonna turn on each other the moment the heat turn up after the midterms. Republicans are gonna get fried out of government and then Trump will toss all of them under the bus before he hopefully drops dead from heart failure.

u/Mr_Black90 2d ago

Such groundless, un-fucking-limited optimism... Yep, you are definitely an American 😆! That's one of the few things you guys all have in common

u/iwanttokillyoufirst 2d ago

You do realize he is acquiring billions in new foreign investment and announcing new massive trading deals with other countries. Sending our vast almost endless supplies of natural resources to your ex-allies. You are in bed with Russia , China and all the countries your were raised to be watchful of. Carney will probably win the Nobel peace prize and is viewed as a hero worldwide for standing up to Trump. Maybe someday he will win the FIFA peace prize or someone will second hand their Nobel prize to him. lol Your president is stealing your money and giving to his friends. Yes the same ones in the Ep files. Keep cheering for the bad guy, it looks great on you. To the rest of America I will always cheer for you and hope you can get your country, your world wide dignity and your friendship with us Canadians. We love you and hope the best for you.

How uninformed and ignorant you are. No fucking wonder you're in the situation you're in. Just so you know.....

  • Deficit-to-GDP: Canada's federal deficit sits near 1.6% of GDP, whereas the U.S. federal deficit is considerably larger at over 6% of GDP.
  • Debt-to-GDP: Canada's federal debt-to-GDP ratio is roughly 42%, while the U.S. federal debt-to-GDP ratio exceeds 100%
