Absolutely. I had a friend (f*ck cancer) who was a huge movie buff, never missed TIFF, but he refused to watch Canadian-made movies. His argument was that he had been disappointed by them too many times, but I pointed out that Hollywood had disappointed him way more often lol. I finally got him to watch some, but he was a stubborn bastard about it. Miss ya, Fred.

Trump is just a symptom of a much larger problem. The U.S. is federally fucked and will remain so for a long time - I don’t see myself ever going back again.

I don’t think your experience is unique - I think because the U.S. has been so dominant economically, culturally, and certainly militarily, much of the world overlooks us. It’s not in our national character to be boastful, we just get things done - but never mistake our quiet nature for meekness. We’re fiercely proud of our country and our accomplishments - and of being very unlike our neighbors to the south.

You should definitely come visit if you get the chance, there’s a lot to see, and a nation of friendly people to help you enjoy it. Ciao!

You literally couldn’t pay me to set foot in the land of the Christo-fascists.

Ah, the Fraser Institute - gargling the balls of the rich, right-wingers since…always.

Fuck Xitter, I don’t know why anyone other than Nazis would use it.

This is great, I’m stealing it 😀

You mean to tell me that a politician was hypocritical? My entire world view is shattered.

Colonizers gonna colonize - I’m really glad she got called out on her bullshit.

Fuck these idiot parents who aren’t vaccinating their kids - and fuck our system for letting the disease factories still go to school unvaxxed.

No shit - you couldn’t pay me to enter the land of fascism.

No way in hell I’m stepping into the land of fascism.

She mispronounced “Maple MAGAts”.

Yep. And sadly, there’s also the fact that even amongst progressives, there’s still a number of Canadians who won’t yet accept a PM who wears a turban.

This is just one of the many reasons why we can’t allow the Maple MAGAt into the PM’s office.

At least she didn’t claim to have discovered Baffin Island 🤣 - take your colonial ass back to Britain, Camilla.

Mango Mussolini will never be satisfied.

Is the Pope Catholic?

Yeah, there’s a total Trump freak about 20 minutes outside of town here in Brockville, nothing but Trump and MAGA flags and signs all over. I really want to stop sometime and ask him what country be thinks he’s living in, cuz I’m not sure he knows.

Abso-fucking-lutely - I’m voting tomorrow.
