Last night, I got a close-up view of how deeply some Canadians hate Americans. It started with a B.C. woman sharing this video with me. I told her that I hadn’t been following the story closely, but had been observing the back & forth about it between a Vancouver friend and a San Francisco friend. The latter is very based and did a deep dive into the story. She feels there is something very suspect about how the news crews covering this story seemed to always be in the right place, at the right time.
I also shared these thoughts with this B.C woman:
I am fully aware of the anti-Trump, anti-Musk, anti-American sentiment in Canada these days. You’re free to think whatever you want, of course, but I can assure from the MANY Americans friends & acquaintances I have, on both sides of the political aisle, that a strong majority of them:
1. Support the deportation of criminals who are illegally in this country.
2. Support the cleanup of corruption in the federal government.
3. Are very tired of being the world’s policeman and seemingly funding every single other country … while so many Americans are homeless.
We are clearly going through a major historical change, one that is changing the world order from what was set in place in 1945, after WW2.
She then unleashed with a tirade about how much she hates America, hates Trump, and hates Americans generally:
So this young lady had exited the USA to re-enter to renew her temporary visa. Something that goes on in most countries, not sure how that works or worked in the USA, you are probably well versed in that than I but it all seems a little radical to react that way to her… all I know is I won’t be going south while that lunatic is in power… how dare he try to Annex Canada! We have always been there friendly neighbor… I am still in disbelief that he got back in… we just have to ride this out till he is gone…
The Canadian government is telling Canadians to not cross as they can’t guarantee how they will be treated. I know my snow bird friends all left Arizona for fear of what was coming down… people that would leave their RVs there year round pulled them out and brought them home… Arizona is already an openly gun toting state with their giant Trump flags… we were stunned when we were down there 2 years ago.
I just hope all those lovely people that you know in SF are ok because a lot are Latino and the Republican turd is definitely targeting the minority population…
There is a lot of government waste but it is usually very top heavy no joe blow worker…
I can speak from my own experience working for Island Health, it is very top heavy…
All I know is that here in Canada people are really pissed off and are opting out of all things American.
I thought about responding that someone who so deeply loathes everything about America, clearly should never, ever visit. But I’m tired of stating the obvious.
