Canada is a class act-I’ve never been more proud of Canada and its people.
As an American, I have watching the trade negotiations very closely over the past few weeks, and I’m completely and utterly disgusted with the U.S. government and the people in office right now. It makes me physically ill to watch what is transpiring. This morning I watched Mark Carney’s speech about the negotiations, and as always, Prime Minister Carney eloquently and directly discussed what happened during the talks and what Canadians can expect moving forward. I have to say, I’ve always liked Mark Carney, but today I felt so proud for Canadians as I listened to him speak. He truly is a class act and has Canadians best interest at heart, making sure economic pathways with other countries are in place so Canada is not economically dependent on the U.S. and having government financial programs in place to help businesses hit hard by these tariffs. I applaud Prime Minister Carney and he is absolutely correct that you should not take a bad deal in a situation like this with Trump, and that Canadians should continue to push back and fight against this corrupt regime in the U.S.—You never give the school yard bully your lunch money, no matter how much he throws idle threats or retaliation at you, because if you give in, he will always, always, come back for more. And this was clearly shown by the Americans in the final hours of negotiations—the back tracking, the adding in of addition demands, the mind games, the threats made against of Canada’s sovernty—we Americans see straight through Trump, Greer, and his cronies. We know what they’re all about and don’t believe one f***ing word that comes out of their mouths.
As an American, I am truly embarrassed to be a part of this country. I don’ recognize the United States anymore and I don’t even want to call myself an American. I’m truly devastated about how this is affecting Canada and its people, but I have to say, I am so impressed by how the people of Canada are coming together and pushing back as a nation to the bullies in the U.S.! The Canadian people’s resolve to continue to fight this unfair treatment by the U.S. shows their strength, grit, and determination to stand up and fight for what is true, just, and right! Americans have a past reputation of being the ones who go in head first and fight like hell, but I do not see that in Americans anymore. I think Americans, as a whole, have become lazy, spoiled, and apathetic. They want others to fight their fight, and if we had 1/8th of the determination and grit the Canadians have shown, we’d be overthrowing our current government! I have attended my fair share of protests, town hall meetings, and have contacted our government officials to fight against our fascist government, but more Americans need to become outraged at what’s happening in our country. Americans have not gotten “uncomfortable enough” yet, and until they do, these travesties will sadly continue. God willing, we will see some major upheaval and changes at our midterms in the Fall (if Trump doesn’t figure out how to rig the elections).
I just wanted to write this to let Canadians know there are many of us here in the U.S. who support you and who are proud of how Canada has shown up to this never ending shit show our government has hoisted on to you. As a country and as a people, you have truly shown “relentless decency”, but also have shown great resolve to stand up for yourselves. We support you Canada!
