New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country
-
I think there’s concern about the fucking plane crashing on the way. 100% legit concern.
-
Florida I’m sure

I personally would not be surprised if musk and trump will try to start a new Hitler era.
-
It's perspective hahahah
-
I’ll never understand staying in a place you hate.
-
That's not how perspective works.
-
So 73% of Canadians don't see the news?
-
Oh of course, sorry about that... (winks) officer.
-
Yeah big same!
-
I think it's telling that enemy and ally are closely matched...
Canadians likely have some nuance here... They don't hate "us" the people, they hate "us" the country.
-
As a Canadian, this didn't feel right so I actually opened the article and there you go it's an online survey.
-
Online survey... Don't expect people with brains to fill those out...

Lol are you trying to say I’m being racist towards US citizens?
Nope. There's definitely too much anti-Latin American sentiment here, that's part of why we're in this mess. But I would say a good portion of people here aren't racist toward Mexicans. But, a large part of that same portion just doesn't have empathy for their situation because of a self-focused attitude.
Again, it feels like you're preemptively judging US citizens. We're the evil empire, there's no denying that. But, no doubt, some of us will be the victims when it's all said and done. Just as you are one of the victims of US aggression now, US aggression will eventually turn toward its own citizens. Now, this is me preemptively judging the situation, albeit with more real life experience of our citizenry, but I do think many here will put up a fight on their turf (mostly because of that self-focused attitude mentioned earlier).
That said, if the situation escalates into civil war, there will be plenty of innocents caught in the crossfire - and those are the potential refugees to which I'm referring. Nobody wants you to let MAGA jump ship after they unleashed the plague rats. God willing, that attitude will crumble as it makes DC crumble.

Was, but a joke

If the legs for both bears are in stride it's an illusion that it's one bear. Kind of like an army march
Here is an example of what I mean. From side it's a 2 headed dog but from angle it's 2 dogs.

There isn't really a free world but the USA is definitely an enemy
-
They should apply to the EU

I understand that options aren't available to everyone

Believe it or not, it’s a Sobey’s, so big chain. I was pleasantly surprised that it happened so quickly. I don’t know if my local store is representative of the chain though.

A mixture of emotions. In my case,
1.) I live in Illinois and bought a home in 2020 when the interest rate was 3.2% as a first-time homeowner. If I were to sell and look for a new home, the interest rate in Canada would be somewhere around 4%, plus the cost of living is higher compared to where I live. That's ignoring the complications that could come from obtaining a permanent work visa as a foreign citizen.
2.) I love my job as it is now and it may be difficult to find a job in the same field. Also, my wife recently found a job in her career field and for the first time wants to stay at her employer for the foreseeable future; working in public health and helping the people this horrible healthcare system is failing to care for.
3.) Family and friendship ties to the area.
4.) There's some semblance of hope if we stay. I do still want the best for everyone that I share this earth with. Even if it were financially viable for me to leave, there's millions that aren't so lucky. If I pack up and leave that's one less person voting for progressive policy and advocating for empathy in a country that has real projective power in the world.
5.) Illinois, as a blue state, is temporarily insulated from damaging policy that Trump is trying to enact. JB Pritzker has remained steadfast in his opposition to Trump and regressive political action.
I liken it to French opposition during the period of Nazi occupation. (Clearly it's not a 1:1 comparison.) The french resistance hampered Nazi wartime efforts just enough to keep Nazi logistics from being able to cross the channel and occupy Great Britain. If that were to happen, the United States wouldn't be able to set up any sort of staging area on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. Amphibious assaults would have taken place on the western coast of GB where there's cliff faces rather than the sandy beaches at Normandy. Maybe Germany is then able to allocate more troops to the eastern front in that scenario, who knows. But thankfully that's just a hypothetical and isn't something we have to ponder.
