Ok, but the Americans who dont want this need to do something about it. Canadians are reacting rationally to US actions. Whether that makes MAGAts happy or sad is irrelevant. Canada needs to do what is best for Canadians, and refusing to accomodate bullying behaviour is the least worst choice.

    This upcoming November will be the first opportunity Americans will have had to do anything about it since this administration took power. And this administration is so afraid that Americans will put a stop to what’s happening that they’re pulling an unprecedented amount of levers to try and interfere in the election. In several cases illegally.

    That's a very interesting statement. Canadians have historically been quite supportive of Americans who go overseas and attack "threatening" nations, why would their support stop at the US itself when Americans clearly need their help?

    So you're advocating for a Canadian invasion of the US ? That's a very "interesting" position.

    Right, wouldn't that be crazy? So crazy in fact, doesn't it make you wonder how it was so safe for Canada to invade all those other countries it did with the US, hm?

    I'm using it to point out that none of the fuckers who went along with all their genocides are gonna offer to go now. When Canada benefitted from their brutality, there wasn't any call for Americans to overthrow their government. I'm advocating for your dumb ass to think about what it says about Canadians that this was the line, and why that line being crossed happens to also be when Canadians feel no responsibility whatsoever to help end it despite their decades of enthusiastic participation in US imperialism.
