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.
Unfortunately, it's not the majority. Remember, the majority of people (that voted) voted for this
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.
This is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.
Plus the silent group that were at least ok with it
Not the first time around. And even Trump didn't expect 2016 to happen.
If it weren't for the good old electoral college we wouldn't be in this mess.
Not even that, no.
I know, that's the most depressing part of all of this. This is the true face of america.
Let me out please :(
Just because majority of voters voted for trump does not mean majority of people in the US wanted it to happen -- not everyone voted.
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.
Eh, at least I'll live in a fascist country with healthcare. So... still a win, I guess.
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.
Fuck the US, I'd gladly live in Canada if I had the ability to immigrate. Canadians are the bomb.
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.
You're about to discover who were the neighbours of the current indigenes when they were initially migrating here; and what happened.
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.
All the while claiming to be the World's Best Christians.
Just another competition to them.
Sorry Canada, we're trying to correct our government's insanity. Sane citizens doing our best.
Good luck. Best wishes.
Please try your best. It's all we can ask. Good luck! We all support you!
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.
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.
We are sorry Canada 🇨🇦! As soon as we get this under control we hope to mend our relationship ASAP. Don't lose faith in all of us... We still love ya!
That will definitely age well.
We never really had faith in you tbh. We just kinda accepted you for who you were.
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 :(
Prophetic
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.
Lol, of course I got downvoted.
The 'Canada Brand': Violence and Canadian Mining Companies in Latin America
This Report documents incidents that are corroborated by at least two independent sources.
We found:
incidents involving 28Canadian companies;
44 deaths, 30 of which we classify as “targeted”;
403 injuries, 363 of which occurred in during protests and confrontations
Nah, more like coveting what they have not actual hate.
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.
