    Make up your minds. Are we worthless scum who deserve no voice because Trump was elected, or are we allies in the fight against fascism? You can’t hate us one day and then ask for us to fight side by side the next.

      People are mad at Americans collectively because collectively your culture let this happen–so what people want to see is the slightest inkling that you understand the nature of the problem, have a sense of responsibility about it, and are shifting your mindsets to do something about it.

      Coming online to whine at Canadians doesn’t inspire confidence that you get it.

      Personally, I’m just hoping that I’m what I’m seeing online is not representative of what Americans are doing because yeah… Some of the online American response I have been seeing… Woof.

        Most Americans don’t care, or are celebrating. Nothing changed for 90% of people I see IRL. Groceries are getting a bit more expensive but “things gotta get worse for a bit before they can get better” - their words, not mine.

      Yes they can, because they’ve got the same kind of propaganda pumping through their news media too.
