    Time to call our citizens back and close the border, or at the very least mark the US as one of the most dangerous, if not most dangerous, places in the world. Cancel that deal they just signed with that scammy US co (saw the article earlier but forget where it was).

      My parents have dual Canadian and US citizenship I’m desperately trying to get them to back here to Canada. I’m really worried about them right now because any day now ICE or someone could tell them their US Citizenship means jack shit.

        Border walls are pointless (look at the southern US border they climb over, through, and even under), but a beautiful hedge running from coast to coast would be nice

          I am 100% with you. I just think there’s a beauty in giving the US a taste of their own rhetorical medicine. I’d link to the Trump tirade I was referencing, but I don’t want to do that to myself or anyone else.

      I agree with you, for the good of your nation and people the border should be closed, but there goes my calamity escape plan.

    Can’t we like, globally cut off any and all ties with the US and leave them to fester in their own hellhole? Hell, we’ll build the walls AND pay for them!

      Know how Vietnam lost in the end? It wasn’t the ground war. It was the global trade war.

          Call me ignorant, what do we call victory? They’re capitalist today, not a commune. Yes, they’re not occupied or genocided, but they lost their identity and values by becoming capitalist as a result of the war. Because it was that or famine under trade chokehold. We have different definitions of victory I feel.

            If you’re expecting me to say Communist is the way to go… you’re on the wrong instance. Capitalism has its flaws, but acting like communism is what needs to replace it, is a fucking joke. Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any other system ever. It definitely has its issues and can be done better, but as someone who has a large part of my family from exsoviet countries…not a fuckin chance I want that shit anywhere near me.

      Nah, photos show a white guy. He probably had memes on his phone or sassed an ICE agent.

    What a soft response to such a serious crime. They don’t do that when citizens dies or are kidnapped in other non allied countries
