  • Yeah I absolutely despise Doug but he’s (somehow) a master at images. He, unlike PP, knows that Canadians/Ontarians are in elbows up mode so that’s the role he’s going to play since it really costs him nothing. If Ontario decided tomorrow that they actually love Trump, then he’d be Trump’s best friend in the world

  • Fair point. I wouldn’t want to subject anyone to that

  • While the US has problems, merely having a constitution (1) the courts meaningfully refer to (2) that demands special effort to amend isn't clearly a problem.

    I can agree with that. I guess what I take more of an issue with really comes down to “American civil religion”.

    Americans seem to be taught (from my outsider perspective) that the basis of which the US was founded upon is perfect and needs no changing ever. There’s so much propaganda surrounding the founding documents that even suggesting changing something is basically akin to blasphemy. Like look at the second amendment. Even suggesting that maybe it doesn’t fit into modern society is considered heresy.

    That sort of thing is why I really don’t like politicians claiming that their country is “the best in the world”. You see it in Canada too, and I hate it because even if it’s true, it just sort of waves away the many improvements that can be made. There’s ALWAYS things to improve upon

  • That’s kind of my point though. In Canada, the only reason I know our constitution is even looked at in 2025 is because my friend works in environmental policy. The amount of times I hear that some American was exonerated in a court case because

    <something>

    broke the

    <something>

    US constitutional amendment is crazy. It’s just weird to me that a short document that was mostly written so long ago plays such a part in American law, especially with what you mentioned about it being so hard to update. This has been said to death but the right to bear arms was an amendment written when guns were single shot and took ages to reload.

  • I guess I’m confused at your original response. Like I know other countries have constitutions (my own does even). What I’m saying is that it only seems to be the US that holds their constitution up as some sort of biblical document that’s near impossible to change or update. I know the “founding fathers (🤢)” intended it to be a living document which it is not.

    Americans seem to assume that the opinions of some random dudes near 3 centuries ago are perfect and shouldn’t ever be changed

  • You guys have a system set up by a bunch of random guys 3 centuries ago that you worship as gods and refuse to update. That might be part of it

  • The only states id maybe be interested in as a Canadian is California, New York and Washington (also Maine because why do they even extend so far into Québec?).

    For real though, with the Democrats response to Trump, I don’t really want them anywhere near Canadian politics. They’d make our Liberals look socialist

  • Trump says he's ending 'all discussions on trade with Canada' effective immediately

  • Right? They have a terrible rep but they’re pretty fair in my experience. The only time I’ve angered one was when I stepped too close to take a picture of her babies and she did this grass filled mouth hiss at me like a cat. Which to be fair, is fair

  • Yeah I kind of believe that NA would work better as a bunch of smaller countries in an agreement similar to the EU. I say that as a Canadian who’s politics aren’t as much a dumpster fire too
