New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country
-
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.
-
I’m honestly not sure this context is winnable.
-
That's fair and I 100% agree.
-
I don't disagree with you!
-
We've still got plenty to fight for, as long as our country isn't under the control of actual Nazis like the USA is. Europe before WW2 had problems, but it was still very much worse for everyone once the Nazis rolled in. Let's not let that happen, and at least buy ourselves the possibility of improving life in Canada.

Patrolling the Mojave? Nah, a stroll around the Night City should be nicer even.
-
Godspeed! The US has a whole lotta pain coming up, and it will have a big effect on the world order. We've had it coming for a long time, though.
-
Yeah the current US government is an enemy to everyone right now, a cancer that needs to be excised.
-
Damn Americans! They ruined America!
Snark aside, you're completely right. The country that's going to suffer the most damage at America's hands is America itself.
-
It has been a constant barrage of misinformation spread across the world for decades.
We've seen many reports of misinformation farms from Russia, China and North Korea and this is the result of it.
-
Been that way at least 25 years.
-
It's not even snark, it's a perfectly accurate statement!
-
cheers to that.
-
Your country is under siege. If control isn't regained, the America we once knew will be as history as the Weimar Republic.
-
Shocked it's not higher

All Russia did was give a nudge to the literal trillions of dollars in capital held by elites who wanted nothing more than full-blown fascism. All the Kremlin had to do was finance whoever could sow the most distrust in democratic institutions and wedge themselves in existing divides within the US. It's the most boring coup in history, people voting for Hitler not because of Bolshevism of whatever but because they're triggered by fucking vaccines and pronouns.
Conversely even if the EU went full hybrid warfare (which we aren't because we can't even do anything about the open fascists in our own Union), the counterplay is rebuilding trust which is harder by orders of magnitude than just buying up a social media, deleting moderation, and promoting the Nazi stuff.
Best we could hypothetically do is sanction y'all into autarchy and hope the subsequent recession/depression acts as an electroshock to the population, but you're already doing it to yourselves and besides I see no reason why the two thirds of y'all who either don't care or actively support fascism would change their minds. It will be just like Putin Orban or Erdogan, 15 years from now shit will be worse than ever for the 99 % but Republicans will still win elections without even needing to cheat much thanks to their complete control over state propaganda. Your democracy is dead, you should be moving through the stages of grief and planning your next move.
I'd love to be proven wrong but there's too much historical precedent, and zero precedent to Americans being even remotely close to politically conscious enough to engage in "forceful" political change (unless the force is being exerted on Black people, then the "well regulated militia" comes out the woodwork). Hell, the videos from "protests" I've been seeing this week in your major cities look so pathetic it makes Denver look like a large village.
-
Precisely the comparison I’ve been trying to make for a while now
-
the 30% who said they still consider the US an ally obviously don't read the news
fuck the US. if they're actually serious about this invasion bullshit, I'll kill as many of them as I possibly can. even if it's only one guy, and then my house gets blown up and my charred corpse lands in my neighbour's pool, it'll be worth it.
-
Well... of course they are. We're threatening their right to exist. Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily always see eye to eye with Canada and its people, but this is beyond fucked up.
-
I have family down there that I'll never see again. There's no way in hell I'm going back down to that shithole, ever. It already felt like enemy territory even before the first Trump administration. Now it's like booking a holiday in Nazi Germany in 1939. Fuck all that.
