New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country

Don't ask me, ask the people in your own country organizing acts of resistance right now. Get involved, ask them what they need, ask them how you can help. Even small acts of resistance add up. Doing something, anything, inspires others to get involved, and it builds networks. Eventually, you're probably looking at something like a general strike, but you're never going to get there if people don't start organizing in small ways right now.

I don't know if Trump will ever learn what consequences are. One month in office to this day, and he's already made us an enemy to our neighbors and allies.
They have no real reason to show any kindness toward US Citizens, but I can only hope Canada takes refugees if the US domestic situation gets any worse.
-
You said put a stop to it like we have a choice. Canada has a lot of the same things firing up, I suggest you guys follow your own advice on that. Still love you though.

Welcome to the club

I'm currently setting that in motion for myself. Taking the chance to go back to college in another country and hoping to basically getting a do over for my life
-
The rural vs the city has already been divided and conquered. There are trumpers in the city (libertarians) and there are progressives in rural communities (they'll still be friends but they can't talk about politics). It's the way it is now.
No screed.
A long monotonous speech or piece of writing.

As someone who has the misfortune to live in a rural area, it’s high time that we a society (those of us who actually WANT a society) recognize that a good portion of the people who make up that rural population are utterly lost. They need to be left behind before they drag all of us down with them. It’s not nice, it’s not pretty, but we cannot and will not have any kind of functional union again until we cut out this rot that allowed the Trump government into power.
-
Nice try? To do what? Spur Americans into not sliding further into fascism? Guilty as charged, I guess.
-
Good start, keep it up. Don't dismiss contacting your reps just because you're in a blue state.
-
I don't remember saying shit about us not handling this internally or going to war but you do you.
The idea that the USA is untouchable by global counterparts is absurd. Look at what Russia does to our elections with a couple of script kiddies. We can absolutely be targeted and displaced by outside forces, especially with the current crop of dipshits running the federal government right now.
-
As an American, good.
-
They do have a point though, that it’s your mess to clean up. Unlike so many US citizens, many of us actually know that you don’t always need to blow something up, figuratively or literally, when it stops working properly.
We don’t want to “take you down”. We want you to finally start behaving your damn selves. Clean up your own fucking messes, we’re not your parents.
-
This isn’t a distraction, it’s a foreign government threatening us with an economic war specifically to try to annex our country and then doing the things it said it would do to try and make that happen.
The bar is “don’t hate Trump” and ya’ll’re barely hanging onto a majority in the regard only based on recent polls and you elected him with a majority. Your country is balls to wall towards the far-right and I don’t care for your worthless centrists, either.
I’m sorry you have to deal with this, but fuck the US and the vast majority of its citizens. Your “love” means fucking nothing to us.
-
Yeah, that's what I thought. Take a hint Canada, do we need to tilt our hands up and stop pissing on your boots and start pissing on your face? Don't trust a group of people where more than 50% of them voted for a convicted felon and mental retard to shape their future.
Maybe the poll doesn't account for the other 73% just feeling sad about their pathetic neighbor? -
Nope, piss off. Clean up your fucking mess.
-
I hope that my American friends who were already here for things like school can stay, and I hope that anyone trying to be a refugee from the US shitting itself can fuck off.
The US just screams and yells about how fucking great it is all the fucking time and now it’s imploding and, predictably, all people can think about is leaving. No, grab a spine from the fucking spine store and fix your bullshit. We have enough problems here without importing the laziest, most cowardly US citizens to add the list.
-
Trump caused this.
-
HOT OF THE PRESSES: 73% of Canadians not paying attention.
-
You're probably being down voted because of the presumption that we're not doing things. Protests, calling representatives, boycotts, mutual aid networks, etc. Some of us work directly in politics or directly in government, and do what we can in those spaces, too.
It's kind of irritating to get a finger-wagging admonition when you're exploring all options short of outright assassination. And if the suggestion is to just start shooting, well, I think it's asking more than you think for someone to choose to become a killer.
-
I'm an American and also see the United States as an enemy country. Our worst enemy, in fact.
