Man I knew this election was going to turn into Americans coming to Canada en mass and us having to deal with more fucking Americans.

Build a wall...

Look man I know you that it pisses you off. I understand. But look at this way. The ones that are coming are the one you want. Or at least I hope you want. If I could leave and keep my retirement I would.

It's not unreasonable to prefer people from a country that isn't trying to colonize you. Even 'the good ones' don't get that, which illustrates the point.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago

I'd argue the point, but you're already preaching our southern border rhetoric perfectly.

Trying to colonize? Looks to me like we've already succeeded! :D

"Mexicans are invading our country!" -trump

You sound just like trump

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not comparable at all. Show me where Mexico has been economically and culturally colonizing the USA for a hundred years, and made it part of their culture.

US cultural ignorance about Canada and built-in arrogance is exhausting. Most of you folks just don't get it, and this thread is a fine example.

We've been housing refugees from the USA for centuries, and getting the first bit of the next flood already. Them we take just fine. We're good for that.

Your reasons for being unhappy aren't completely unfounded. We get that. It just doesn't change the fact that you're wallowing in a Canadian brand of conservatism in response to our even stupider conservatism. It isn't going to stop folks from rolling their eyes at the tone deafness or finding amusement at your microcosm of our own bullshit.

It's clutching poo to your chest while complaining that we're exporting our stinkier poo on your doorstep. Is ours stinkier? Sure, I'll be the first to admit it and include our right leaning "liberal" party in that statement. It's still poo.

us having to deal with more fucking Americans

So... you view Americans like how the conservatives in the US view Mexicans?

🤔

Might wanna check your xenophobia

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Well Americans cannot vote in Canadian elections unless they can obtain Canadian citizenship before election day.

Fortunately, it seems we're sending our best.

You can’t post or say anything without fear of being targeted by the Trump administration. The legal student protester got abducted, and Trump stops funding universities because of protesting students. The cabinet is full of dishonorable fascists.

Why flee when you can study it live.

Exactly, Jane Goodall didn't run from the apes, she joined their ranks to study them.

This guy should be closer.

maybe he studies fascism in the way at CERN they study particles: once they found experimental evidence that one exists, they start looking for the next. Now given the abundant evidence that the US fascist exists and multiple collisions have been observed with everyone's balls, he's started searching for the more elusive Canadian Fascist

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're unfortunately not nearly elusive enough.

Only one way to settle the debate: let's build that Large Fascist Collider

Trying to remove the observer effect, totally understandable! Best wishes in your studies! Say, before you go, which alcohol makes for the best Molotov?
