New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country
-
They should.
Our populace is too stupid to vote responsibly, which means the filth will always rise to the top, which means our government will always be corrupt, which means it can't be trusted.
Distance yourself from us. Form allegiances with other countries. We cannot be trusted.
I'm sorry. I've voted at every opportunity to prevent this outcome. Many of us have. Just not enough.
-
Money.
Also, people tend to have things like friends and family.
If I could gather all my friends and family with me and move out of this backwards ass shithole, I would. It's not that simple.
-
Jfc. Unbelievable. Well, very believable. Scumbags.
-
That would be epic
-
I could tell you why I would choose to stay where I am even if I had the resources to leave. It is actually possible for some of us to put together a decent life for our families and try to brighten the lives of those around us.
…Even though our government is somewhere between evil and self-destruct, and our culture is somewhere between “fuck you got mine” and “die woman/jew/brown/LGBT+/other!”
And yeah I’m a straight white dude, how did you guess?
But anyway, I’ve lived in the same house for 17 years. It is a 10 minute walk to the elementary/middle school my son will attend for the next 5 years. It is a 6 minute drive to the office for the best job I’ve ever had. We are active in our community and school district, and have some wonderful friends. All my son’s grandparents are within a reasonable drive (but not too close). All my nieces and nephews are similarly close by.
It’s a small modest house that we’ve made our own. In the past 5 years we’ve done some major renovations, repairs, and remodeling. We fenced in the back yard which is great for our kid and our multiple dogs. And our tortoise. Oh yeah, we’re animal lovers. And that includes a koi pond that I built in the back yard that’s literally part of my mental health self-care.
Moving to some place that seems less insane right now would materially change my entire life, not just which government I have to live under.

I've voted at every opportunity to prevent this outcome.
I'm afraid to ask
-
And rightfully so. We currently have a dictator that is threatening to absorb them into the collective shithole that America has become…
I cannot blame them one bit and I’m surprised the percentage is that low.
-
It's canada....need i say more...bwahahahahaha
-
This aint reddit.
-
And "this is America." Need I say more?
Clown.
-
That's exactly my point. America is the greatest country on earth. You can't just waltz into other countries and get the help that you can get here. Yes, right now things are changing in that respect. We've been taken advantage of in a huge way and it's simply not sustainable.

I think it's more like a sibling that you grew up with who was taught the same moral code as you. They were living a healthy, normal life for a while but got offered a very high paying job that is at odds with those childhood morals. They decided to take it, and at first, they did just a few unethical things. Then, they realized that they could make more money by being more unethical and the people who were supposed to be chastising them were not very good at punishing people with money and were really easy to manipulate, so they leaned in to the lack of ethics.
They know what their doing is hurting people, and they don't care because they want to drive their Lamborghini to family Christmas and bring an ostentatiously expensive bottle of wine so that people can praise and fawn over them. But, if you call them on their bad behavior, they become enemies because how dare you?! Now we're the sibling who is powerful but has completely gone awry due to that same power.
I'm hoping we gave a nice family reunion someday where my country has learned the error of its ways and can once again be accepted by its lovely Canadian relatives.

What would possibly be unclear here
-
You know what? Go fuck yourself.
-
That's because conservatism is a wildly violent mental disorder that seeks to destroy all positive freedom and oppress everyone in the most ruthless ways possible. They have to be killed, and you had better be arming up. This is not hyperbole; you do not understand who you are dealing with.
-
And you need you fucking skull bashed in, you Nazi shit bag. Need I say more?
Only pussy-assed traitor mods would delete my comment.
-
This is always the Libertarian shitpost response: "you're free to do what you want" because you don't recognize economic coercion. It's a perfectly OK form of limiting freedom. Fuck off.
-
You could not more wrong. American capitalism is the worst form of capitalism in the world. It is only attractive to people from truly desperate situations.
-
so i should care about them?
-
Surprised it’s that low, before trump I would have thought it would be at around 25%
There are a lot of maple maga and confederate flag waving trash in Canada though, so it probably balanced out a bit
