As a Canadian who has called America home for over a decade, I’m in a unique position to observe the zeitgeist in both countries. I happen to be FB friends with an SDA regular. A discussion took place on his FB page that I chimed in on. Here’s what I wrote:
For the past several months, I’ve seen public & private comments from Canadians that is nothing short of H-A-T-R-E-D towards Americans. Completely remove Trump from the equation. What I’ve seen is hatred towards American citizens, criticizing them, their way of life, their values, etc.
While this isn’t “racism” per say, because Americans are not a race, if the same sentiments were directed at Chinese or Indians or Africans, it would be pure racism.
Want to know why I’m not surprised to see this explosion of hatred? Because, living across Canada most of my life, I encountered the same on a fairly regular basis. All that has happened now is that the Liberal Party and their vast propaganda machine have given Canadians permission to open express their “2 minutes of hate”.
Since I’ve become the unwelcome party guest here, I might as well ask a question that I’ve posed to countless Canadians, but have yet to receive a credible answer: Why is any Canadian angry at Elon Musk? I seriously would love an answer to this simple question.
