New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country
-
We gotta fight this. Can’t just leave.
-
What do you want people to say to you on the Internet that is owned and monitored by the same people doing this?
-
Meanwhile, at the Kremlin
-
Well, with any luck we'll both be able to visit the New California Republic in a few years
-
Yeah only 27%. I mean everyone I know thinks of them as an enemy. They betrayed Mexico, Canada and Ukraine already and its only February.
-
The federal government where I live is not actively imploding, so right off the bat I would like to point out that it's a false equivalence. However, there is definitely a ton of headway to make in my more local area.
I am staying aware of my local politics, vote every chance I get, contracting my government representatives. I campaign for the people I think can help my area and country the best, and I encourage everyone I know to vote.
If my government starts slipping into fascism, I will do more. I will say also that with the USA burning every alliance it has in the span of a month, I've never more strongly considered joining the armed forces in some capacity.
-
I just want them to honestly answer the question.
-
As a Californian, I'm hella stoked for the future nation of Pacifica.
-
Those who are really going to do things about stuff shouldn't yap about it on social media. Loose lips sink ships.
Right now I'm in a holding pattern. There's a non-zero chance that Trump will be distracted by something shiny and we'll move on to the next fucking fever dream crisis. There's also a really, really good chance that if he does order to invade Canada, real shit will start to pop off here.
-
But the majority of people here want this.
-
You missed my point - if you're saying Canadians recognizing the present reality that the US is an enemy nation of Canada is divide and conquer, I don't see how that doesn't apply to how you talk about urban/rural divides. Either acknowledging the political reality of a situation is divide and conquer or it's not.
-
That's because you are not America. When they talk about making America better, they're not talking about you. Never did
Edit: I want to make it clear that what I mean is that they don't care about the people, not that they shouldn't
-
And I'm not against people having this recognition! I'm just saying, it's hypocritical to tell Canadians we can't see the US as an enemy nation if it acts that way, but it's okay for urbanite Americans to see rural Americans as their enemy. Either it's divide and conquer in both cases or it's recognizing political reality in both.

I don't know what to even think anymore. Our neighbour wants to invade us but all our talent just ends up moving to the states anyway (at least in my industry) since they can make way more money. Housing is fucked, wages are fucked, and what does buy canadian even mean? from lablaws? fuck that, everything is a monopaly up here from groceries, telecoms, everything! What does it even mean to be canadian anymore? At least we've got our principals, I'm glad we're pushing back and taking a stance but I hate the direction this country is headed. Things are bad and theres no end in sight.

We couldn't even get our fellow countrymen to wear cloth masks without them screeching and guzzling horse dewormer. We've been demanding universal healthcare since at least the 90s; we got a fucking insurance marketplace instead, and the right wing has never stopped bitching about it to this day. If we could clean it up, we would have, but there's a subset of our population that's hopelessly propagandized. The only upshot here is that it tends to be a regional phenomenon and might be able to be addressed via balkanizing; just walk away from the table and let the fucking bozos be bozos in their own little bozoville.
-
If NY and California just split off or joined with Canada...
-
Trump isn't calling the shots.
-
If my government starts slipping into fascism, I will do more.
Very easy to say. Hopefully you'll never have to put your money where your mouth is.
-
Am Canadian, yep this is exactly what it is.
The us has always been a risk to rely on but the benefits outweighed it. But that’s getting less every day so we have to decide when to cut our loses and move on.
-
As a Canadian, all I want is enough time and will to become more independent from the US, so far so good so I’m a little optimistic.
