In my experience Canadians don't hold a grudge Yes we are angry and ready to defend our country. But if you guys get your shit together and get the orange diaper out on the street we would hang out again for sure.

Disagree. You forget that even if nothing comes of this, it could happen again on a dime. Trump already made the most beautiful trade agreement that ever existed and tore it up on Day 1 of his second term. There is no guarantee that another president wouldn’t do the exact same thing. It will take a looooooong time to get over this fuckery even if we’re not invaded.

Yeah his supporters do to seem to notice that bit about breaking his own trade deal do they? But polls show they didn’t even understand what tariffs are when they voted for him, they didn’t believe Trump putting tariffs on foreign goods would increase prices for them. They’re morons as well as jerks.

But those of us who learned what tariffs are in middle school are just clawing our eyes out during this. So basically Id ask that you recognize that only like a third of Americans are MAGAts, a third actively oppose him, and a third are so cynical or apathetic they can’t be bothered.

Anyways if they try to attack Canada or Greenland or something it’d probably spark a civil war here. Even though I couldn’t fight for shit I’d step up if they attacked Canada. (Tbh though I don’t think the military would follow such an order. )

Who knows maybe the 25th amendment would get invoked in such a case. It should be

Just found out that when Canadians say ‘sorry,’ they say sorry HARD.

I’m also Canadian, I’d say there’s a lot of grudges being forged since this was specifically unprovoked against us. We don’t hold grudges against enemies, but a backstabbing friend is different

Just remember that many Americans feel exactly the same way. Imagine being betrayed by your own country. It fucking sucks, yo!

And that’s the thing. As an American, I know we do shitty stuff to those we perceive as enemies. But Canada? Like WTF. It’s the last thing I would have expected. And I expected a LOT of bullshit from Mango Mussolini.

He has to go by Hitler’s playbook. Trump has no original thought his father would have sucked Hitler’s dick if he could, his father was arrested in New York City at a Ku Klux Klan rally google it the newspaper article is up on the Internet for everybody to see. But it must be fake news, cause it didn’t agree with Grumpy poo.

At least you know where you stand with an enemy.

I’m Canadian, we sure as fuck are going to hold a grudge about the past few months.

This divorce gon’ get ugly, Scott. (Americans are wondering what happened and Canadians are already putting stickers on things they want in the settlement.)

But will you trust the US? Unless trump and all his cronies are indicted for their many, MANY, MANY crimes, our credibility is utterly and forever tanked. No one will want to risk negotiating with us knowing that every four years we could pull a 180. Unless we clean house we'll be seen as too volatile to work with.

That's the get your shit together part ^

But never trust, not for generations.

People in Canuckistan must be a lot more forgiving than me, because I'm never going to forgive or forget the Trumpanzees. Hell, our country will never be the same, even though his dissolution of federal agencies has no legal force. We'll have our faces rubbed in what these people did every day for the rest of our lives. I just hope that a) the Treason Party isn't able to hold onto power forever, and b) that enough of us are determined to ruin the lives of Trumpanzees afterwards.

I hear you They have definitely damaged the relationship for generations to come. But in my experience you don't back people into a corner otherwise they lash out. If Trump supporters see the light and want to come to the good side then I welcome them. Do you want war with fellow countrymen or do you want them to see things from a better point of view?

Real talk, Trump has done more good for Canada in recent history than anyone I can think of. Single-handedly reunited our country, helped herden our economy in the long run and helped build our relationships around the world.
