    There’s a lot of rabidly pro Trump pro facist Canadians. I had some Canadian friends I had to cut of because they are aggressively MAGA

      Yeah there’s a surprising number of Canadians who are enthusiastic about Trump and the idea of becoming America’s 51st state. Particularly in Alberta.

        Those canadians should be outraged at all being put into one state, they would be defenseless against the rest. You would think they would want to be ten states or something.

        But they are dumb to want to join at all obviously, directly emulating nazis over here and they are like, you know what, it worked so well for hitler why don’t we give absolute power to the worst person in the world with a chip on his shoulder? Let’s give it another go.

    It’s just conservatives that behave like this toward our allies.

    Unfortunately, our electoral process is broken, so the minority can gain control of our government and make it look like we’re all low IQ pieces of shit.

    That being said, there are still way, way, way too many stupid people in the U.S.

        This makes me more upset than it should. So simpe, yet so painful. Only the truest of the MAGA core leaders believe Canada is anything but a friend and ally and most important trading partner to the US for the last 70 years - like maybe a few hundred people in the US, all with their own insane agenda. The 30% of MAGA that follows whatever those leaders may be lost but, 70% of the country is still pretty WTF about our current leadership’s shift to aggression.

    Just wanted to re-iterate, just in case…

    Sane Americans do not feel this way. In fact, I daresay the majority of us would probably gladly emigrate to Canada if we could.

    Fuck the USA.

    Sincerely, US Citizens everywhere.

      I hate to tell you this, but Trump is becoming very popular with the average Canadian. The average Canadian hates their own government so much that they’d rather throw it away and become America’s 51st state. If you come to Canada to escape MAGA you’re just going to run into more MAGA.

        That is the problem across the west, both parties are captured by the rich, and the only protest vote, the only real reform vote, is for the far right in league with these guys, and russia, and they are planning on fixing elections to never lose power to boot.

        It will happen, especially with the US and Russia helping behind the scenes, unless we get popular reform options in the west, and we still don’t have that, trusting the oligarchy’s tools in our parties, the keir starmers, to run the opposition to fascism and their far right.

        We don’t actually know if that’s true. Only 74% of the voting age population of the US was registered to vote in 2024. Only 65% of Americans voted on this election cycle and the popular vote was very close. We also know that Trump’s approval ratings have absolutely tanked in his first year coming in at -16 points where as when he started, he sat pretty at +16. He has lost 32% of his initial approval in this country. I would say, it is quite likely, many if not the majority of Americans are well and truly, over this man’s shit, even those who voted for him previously.

    Unironically, the right wing Maga crowd does hate niceness, reciprocity and generosity. This comic isn’t even an exaggeration, their worldview of dog eat dog, selfish competition is under threat by being, ironically, out competed by kindness and cooperation.

    Most Americans like Canada and barely even see it as a separate country. Certainly not a foreign country.

      thats the crux of the problem.

      we are NOT the same country. we have similar culture and values, similar, but not the same.

      there are some things that Canadians firmly choose the Red door on, where Americans chose the Blue door.

      those fundemental differences is what makes us a seperate country. there are many things we are on the same page of, but there are many things we might as well be cats and dogs on as well.

      That’s kinda the problem bud, we ARE a separate country. Just because you might not have to get on a plane doesn’t mean crossing the Canadian border isn’t international travel (necessitating your passport).

      It’s the attitude like this that has fed the “might as well become a state” rhetoric. We quite literally are a foreign country because we’re not part of theirs. Unless Americans only use the word foreign to mean scary/nonwhite.

      Ummm… You should see it as another country and foreign isn’t a bad word. You can be neighbours and friends but you are not the same.

      Much like Australians and Kiwis aren’t the same. Cousins, yes. Besties, yes. But not the same. And it’s disrespectful to think you are. Both have their own identities and that’s a good thing.

    Well… Kinda depends on what you mean by ‘neighbour’. For a time, the natives were neighbours to the Canadians, and they didn’t exactly have the best of times with their new neighbours.

      You are harming the narrative that Canada is categorically friendly and peaceful.

      One redeeming feature of the history is that refugees of slavery in the US were able to find protection in Canada, though it was often quite difficult for them to reach.

        Will keep doing all I can. I appreciate your support! It’s not easy seeing the destruction of science and medicine in the US, and knowing that this will result in increased sickness and death, here and abroad. Just the shenanigans with the vaccine schedule, eliminating the early hepatitis vax will result in increased mortality and morbidity which may not show up for decades. Long after the current administration is dead and gone. sigh.

      The process of annexing Canada began in 2059, as the Resource Wars began ramping up in the wake of the Euro-Middle Eastern War and the nuclear destruction of Tel Aviv

      (…) Despite mass protests, the country’s resources were exploited and stretched to the breaking point to support the American war effort, such as vast stretches of timberland being destroyed beyond recovery. By 2069, public opinion to the south had turned against Canada, with the nation becoming known by the derogative “Little America” in the minds of U.S. citizens

      (…) Despite the outcry, the military initiative forged ahead. Propaganda portrayed the annexation as a “liberation”,

      … cool :(

    I’m sure indigenous communities in the global south don’t agree with this meme, but I guess it’s par for the course for neoliberals to ignore the externalities and consequences of capitalism.

    Yes. Those “good” neighbors that always smile and act chipper when you pass them on the street. The ones who rarely hesitate to tell you, or anyone who will listen, how much different and BETTER they are than you. How they wish they weren’t living in the same neighborhood as you even…to the point where they start deluding their selves that they’re now a part of the euro neighborhood…even while they’re still living next to you. The ones who have “neighborhood watch” obligations that they don’t uphold because they’d rather watch you spend all your money on keeping things safe for the kiddos and gramma while they talk crap about what a warmonger you are for spending your money on protection rather than pretension. Oh and they have the graves of Indigenous children in their backyards. But let us not speak of that now. Greatest neighbors ever!
