Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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

My point wasn't that I had a step-by-step comprehensive guide to solve everything...

...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.

70% of the 100% who voted, yes. Only 70% of Americans voted. I can't excuse the 30% though, I even publicly called out those who refused to or just didn't vote.

my point being, treating every American like an enemy will only foster more hate and animosity.

The threat of annexation is both real and current.

yes it's real, always has been though. the truth is, your actions and emotions have been compromised by a megalomaniac in another country. one madman, I might add, that can't seem to make a choice on to tariff or not. the orange shitstain can't even decide on which countries will get the highest tariffs.

so yes, the threat is real that Canada can be invaded. I wouldn't put much stock in it until he makes a choice to shit or get off the pot though. let your government worry about it, it seems they still have their shit together.

personally, I'm staying in the US until my wife or kids are targeted. I'd like to bring them to Canada and come back to fight for my family that remains and for the hope that we can restore the order.

I cannot fight though, if I'm worried about my wife and kids and that's if they're here or there. so please, when the time comes, please be a good neighbor and return the same kindness my family shares with you.
