Your boss wanted to invade Canada just a couple months ago.

I can’t believe I forgot about that!

There wouldn’t be anti-American sentiment if Trump hadn’t introduced anti-Canadian sentiment. Actions have consequences. The Canadian people aren’t mindless sycophants, and I admire them for it.

I don't know about that... In my family of Canadians there was always a little bit of anti-American sentiment growing up. Culturally, while close, there are definitely differences. They used to come up during salmon season and cheat the system by catching over the limit and canning it at night so the authorities couldn't count their catch. I would never say that all Americans are bad people, but the 'fuck you, I got mine' attitude seems to be much more prevalent south of the border.

"We've been there during the war when it came to aluminum, we've been there during the war when it came to steel," Champagne told reporters including CBC News.

"Obviously when someone turns its back, you have to find ways to strengthen the Canadian economy and look at new markets, look at new industries."

Hoekstra fired back saying using such language is "a dangerous place to go."

🙄😒

A dangerous place you say. Hey Pete, is that dangerous place one of your infamous 'No-go zones' ?

I'm also disappointed in the guy that's causing all this!!

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

And well he should be disappointed when even Canada has so much anti-American sentiment. I’m sure he fulfilled his duty by reporting back what the us needs to do different, right? Right?

Why would anyone hate a Nazi run country like America?

[–] Awkwardparticle@programming.dev 11 points 2 months ago

Get fucked, you are only making it worse by complaining. It tells us that what we are doing is working.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ambassador. Hi. Sally Freeman from the Toronto Journal. Thanks for taking my question. Can you answer, has your government tried maybe not taking its marching orders from an anthropomorphized mango with the emotional intelligence of a toddler that has never see daylight?"

He's a visitor in another country moaning about that country.
