I'm not terribly sure how much that is going to matter given the current disposition of most of us towards American bullshittery, and by that I mean to say that bureaucratic cowardice might play into their hands, but the people of Canada aren't going to.
I also still have enough faith in our version of the democratic process to believe that if the current government's posture was (or becomes) wholly incongruent with that of the body politic, we'd rearrange it next election. The fact is that Carney's professed positions, at the time of the election at least, were aligned with ours moreso than the angry guy who lost his seat. I'm certainly less than impressed with what's taken place since, but don't know what I should have expected. This season's script has been all over the place and the writing is awful.
Reflecting on this all, maybe the takeaway is that subconsciously, who I expected better from was the Americans, and that ought to be a lesson and a loud wake up call to us all.
this shitty fucking myth that all americans are okay with what is happening needs to die.
Yeah sure man. We'll have to take that on faith I suppose. After all, none of use were likely alive during past incidents when Americans utterly failed to do the right thing until it was absolutely necessary and directly threatened them. It's a source of constant solace to the rest of the world, which is, of course, why we're selling off your treasury bonds.
Is that because of the free surgery he's going to give everyone who wears his obnoxious AI glasses and then subsequently gets punched in the face? Is that why we're going to be at a disadvantage, Mark?
Yeah, like, why learn how to split the atom if all we can do is splode stuff. It's not like we can cure cancer or power things without emitting planet killing gasses or anything.
we miss you, because we know that the instability in our relationship right now has meant that some Canadians have decided to stay away from their favorite American tourist spots, and we hope you will come back
Fucking whoosh. Americants: you hope in vain.
Not coming back. Not ever. For your treachery, we will grind into dust and ash that which you formerly benefitted from.
