I do the same shit with Canadians about us having soldiers in Saudi Arabia, Africa, etc. They don't care and seek to justify it totally and immediately.
I actually was in Canada for a bit and the impression that I got was that of a sense of banality where people did not know how buddy-buddy Canada has been with the US.
I was not "political" at that point. But the people I knew used to believe that Canada was similar to the US but with the "derangement" separated from the substance.
Yeah, you got it 100%.
Canada is just the USA with a roughly 10 year policy lag and none of the global geopolitical power. Most Canadians see this and develop a superiority complex. They think "at least it's not as bad up here" or "at least we're not as brutal as them". Class consciousness and worker solidarity is basically non-existent. We're truly a puppet state.
By God are we working hard to close that gap
