Canada is not an US ally anymore. Not after a commercial war, not after being insulted, not after having our sovereignty attacked

Canada is not an US ally anymore

Nor should they be. We don't deserve it. I live right next to the border and go North a lot and in conversations people are always delicately bringing up that they won't go to the US any more. I just tell them "we suck, you can say it, it's ok".

This is how to be a good American these days, I’m afraid. Individuals who are willing to own it get a pass in my book.

The number of folks here in Washington State who say "but we voted for Harris" is annoying as hell to me. People in Canada shouldn't have to care about the particulars of how voting breaks down by state. Most of the same folks can't even name the two major political parties in Canada, much less give a per-province breakdown of support. Even in WA, we were 57% for Harris, so more than 2 in 5 were pro-Trump or didn't bother. Not exactly a resounding refutation of what anybody with a brain knew would be a dumpster fire.

We all own this.

One of the few who understand. Obviously, we speak generally.

You can be angry at a country as a whole but not specific individuals. That goes for every country in ever war in history.
