CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

[Altair]

If the German and Japanese populations can change to the point of becoming allies of ours, I dont think your dire prediction for the USA is the sole path for the future.

As much as you accuse me of biases in the following quote, I think you need to recognize your own.

I think that our view on the Germans and Japanese would be drastically different if the factions that drove the world into conflict kept coming back every 4 years.

I'm sorry I don't puppet your blessed gospel from on high on all that is Canada US relations.

Okay, I'm open minded.

I'll ask you plainly.

Does MAGA outlive the Trump presidency?

I do love Americans. I have worked with a great many in theatres and domestically. I have American friends. I happily travel to the US for any number of events and activities. And I find them gracious, friendly, helpful; and generally ignorant of what's going on outside their own borders.

I've met many kind Iranians. I've met a many Russians pre 2022 that I would happily share a beer with.

Doesnt mean I love their countries or their governments.

And I know, people will say, how can I compare Iranians or Russians with Americans? Well, humans are humans and most humans are decent hardworking people.

Ive been treated better by Americans for being in the CAF than I ever have from fellow Canadians.

Cool.

Why is Canadian patriotism a binary choice ? Why is it love Canada and hate America ? Why cant I love both ?

I would be far more willing to buy this from you if I ever heard you say anything about loving anything to do with Canada.

What I have heard is a litany of gripes about Canada, while espousing how superior you believe America is.

I mean Germans and Japanese did horrible things to millions of people but we moved on. I think we can move on from the 51st state suggestion.

Okay, I'm open minded.

I'll ask you plainly.

Does MAGA outlive the Trump presidency?

No idea. How do you expect me answer that ? From what I gather MAGA has a faction that's pretty upset with Trump right now.

I think Trump and the Republicans are about to get smashed in the mid terms, and I expect the Republicans will lose the next election.

What cultural groupings continue, I have no idea.

I've met many kind Iranians. I've met a many Russians pre 2022 that I would happily share a beer with.

Doesnt mean I love their countries or their governments.

And I know, people will say, how can I compare Iranians or Russians with Americans? Well, humans are humans and most humans are decent hardworking people.

Sure.

I would be far more willing to buy this from you if I ever heard you say anything about loving anything to do with Canada.

What I have heard is a litany of gripes about Canada, while espousing how superior you believe America is.

I know you like to hide your service and that's your prerogative. But I don't hide mine. What I have done for this country is out there for all to see. I've never cleared a trench or blown up a bunker. But I have gone to bed at night with the blood of a 23 dead year old NWO leaking out the eyelets of my sea boots, . My love for Canada is in my actions and my service.

Don't confuse my gripes and complaints as dislike. Canada has so much potential and I want us to get there. I love my daughter, but I also provide advice and correction when require. Her room is mess right now, so I tell her that and expect it clean up when I get home today. People may not realize it but that's love. If i didn't love I would allow her live in squaller.

And we're locking this up for a bit so everyone can just cool down and I don't have to apply a warning. This conversation is getting so far away from the discussion at hand and more targeting someone personally which is completely offside.
