6/10 Americans won’t trust America again also.
I don’t blame y’all
that’s completely fair
for all the terrible things both political parties wrought globally from the end of WWII until a Jan 20, 2017, they were united (more or less) in a commitment to being a rules and laws based main even if it hurt “their side” from time to time.
Even Reagan’s “11th Amendment” would be set aside from time to time to preserve America’s standing in the world.
Not so any more. And i don’t actually know if it’s possible to get that reputation back.
Plate carriers and high caliber rifles are also getting sold out everywhere.
Seems four out of ten Canadians aren’t paying attention.
My parents are in this 4 of 10. They watch Fox News, donate regularly to the Republican party even though they are Canadian, they do not donate to the conservative party of Canada (I dunno), call me every time Carney does something they dislike because I voted Liberal, and still spend a good chunk of their time in Florida where they own property and are proud of it.
Trump has become an unpopular subject as my sister will lose her shit at family gatherings so they no longer mention his name. But are big supporters!
That is because we actually can’t.
The US has been a shit show since the end of WWII and they’ve fucked over countless countries and people, mostly for greed. It’s laws are mostly setup first for greed, then for humans. Don’t trust that place, whatever president comes next will at best only be marginally better than the current shit stain
Its laws are mostly set up
FTFY. We had good elementary schools; did you go? :-p
So pointlessly rude. What were you trying to accomplish?
This account is always around nitpicking typos with a side of snark. Grammar nazi shit is just so imverysmart with an undercurrent of classism, and I bet they’ve never actually dipped more than a toe into linguistics.
Ah, thank’s for the heads’ up.
What’s your second language and are you as good as most people are with their second language (that is english)? If so, you still are a prick.
Tfw dual citizenship and can’t trust myself 😬
Get them! They’re a double citizen!
What are you, the Trump Administration?
op’s excess citizenship must be studied so it can be properly harnessed and potentially extracted for our benefit. It’s in the 10th amendment
You figure? You figure people who elect a psychopath who threatens to destroy my country economically before annexing it as the fifty-first state may have lost a lot of trust?
That’s just crazy talk!
Thursday’s poll found that 42 per cent of Canadians said they believe Carney will succeed in negotiating a new trade deal with the Trump administration.
Why? I don’t want Canada to have a trade deal with the USA. I want Canada to isolate the USA. A trade wall, ideally armed with machine guns and flamethrowers. Let them stew in their own juices while we trade with countries that aren’t prone to electing obvious man-toddlers into the highest possible office.
So when your country eventually elects their own little Hitler you’d want the same for yourself? You want the whole world to isolate you and threaten to kill you if you leave. Glad to see Canadian niceness is as hypocritical as ever.
If my country elects our own little Hitler, fucking YES I’d want the world to isolate us until we learned to grow the fuck up. If we elect our own little Hitler, we are a legit threat to the world. We really should be isolated until we can prove we are no longer carriers for the infection.
lol YOU GUYS THREATENED US. OF COURSE WE WANT TO ISOLATE FROM YOU. We literally cannot trust you guys to be tied economically to.
The sheer whining from the USA, like they’re the victims in this, would be amusing were it not such an alarming indicator of just how utterly fucked their worldview is.
Seriously. It’s funny how American liberals like to gripe about how narrow and self centred their conservative countrymen’s worldviews are, but they’re just as bad and just don’t realize it.
I have maintained for well over two decades now that there is no “left” in the USA.
What the USA considers “left” is centre-right in the view of the sane parts of the world. What the USA considers “far left” is “sensible social democracy” in the sane parts of the world.
Lol. Canada was one of the only countries that used to trust America. No one wants to play with the bully
Problem is everyone wants to play with that bully even now. The world wants access to the American market since they are by far the largest and they consume the most.
The Chinese consumer market flirts with being larger than the American one. Per capita they spend less, but there’s four times as many of them and this balances out.
I think at the immediate moment the Chinese consumer market is very slightly smaller than the USA, which makes your “by far” kinda comical to read. But in the last five years China and the USA have swapped places a couple of times for largest consumer market and projections to 2030 will have China consistently beating the USA by that point.
So smart money doesn’t want to play with the bully. He’s falling over.
At the moment, until the current administration tanks the economy and destroys what is left of the middle class.
This is so heartbreaking. I live on the border, frequently visit Ontario and Quebec, even honeymooned in the Maritimes. It’s hard to imagine that I may never be able to do that ever again, but here we are.
I recall how bad I felt waking up in November 2024 knowing that awful things were going to happen, but alienating our closest ally was not one of them. Stay safe, Canada, I hope to see you again some time.
“I hope to see you again some time.” Honestly, I hope so to.
Canadian here close to the border. I used to visit your country somewhat regularly, but I don’t think I’ll ever go down south again. My wife has some extended family in the states and they’ll never visit up here so I guess we just aren’t seeing them ever again. It’s unfortunate but that’s what video calls are for I guess.
As a Canadian, I say come visit still. We’d love to have you as long as you’re respectful and don’t bring pro-Trump speech with you (and given you’re on Lemmy I’m sure you’re the kind of person we’d welcome with open arms up here).
No one is against Americans vacationing in Canada. Many of us chose not to go down because of this stupid economic warfare the administration started. But that’s just business, as they say. It’s about asserting economic independence. Come visit. No worries, buddy.
Be, however, on your best behaviour because people are going to have a hair trigger on normal American shitfuckery these days.
Seconded. Just make sure your American papers are in order for when you return.
Yep. I say this as a resident of the United States and it will take at minimum decades to fix the damage that Trump has caused in just nine months. More likely (assuming the US survives) it will take multiple generations to fix the damage from Trumps second term.
As a Canadian- it isn’t “the damage Trump has caused in 9 months.” It’s the damage the US populace at large has done and allowed to be done for roughly 3-4 decades while literally everyone was telling you to wake the fuck up because this was the trajectory you were on.
In response to the entire world trying to warn you off this path, you closed your eyes, stuck your fingers in your ears, flipped us off, yelled louder and started flying your flags more conspicuously.
Trump is one small part of the gargantuan fuckup YOU allowed to happen. Trump is a symptom. A few entire generations of Americans are the cause.
And that’s only nine months how long to fix the full term damage.
Seconded as another American - the brain drain alone from deterring immigration by conservatives may make that process even longer (or require a new system of governance entirely)
Also the brain drain by actively fighting to prevent scientific research.
Yet another debuff to the pile XD
Your second revolution is going to be starting soon.
It already is happening and they are letting it happen. The second civil war well be bloodless if the left allows it. And so far the left seems fine with it.
The left won’t be the first one who draws blood.
Maybe it should. How long will you idly watch the masked goons kidnapping people? Like honestly i do not see a reason for Trump to rush anything more than he does. He is in a very comfortable place, being able to spread his authoritarian powers more and more. I don’t see the point coming where “the left” (as if america has many of those to begin with) revolts against this new breed of fascism. It is not going to get easier over time.
Seems like a low number honestly.
So America can be a brutal regime that fucks over the global south and Canadians trust that. They ally that. Canada has been a close ally throughout so much evil.
But now we inflict a little evil on you guys and suddenly you don’t trust us? I mean that kinda implies you guys liked us before?
It’s like a moral abyss from the north pole to the Mexican border.
Only 6 in 10?
4 in 10 already distrusted the US.
4 in 10 thinks we can fix it at some point.
If the USA gets their act together and can show that they can elect sane politicians 12+ years after trump/vance term ends.
That’s my hope.
12+ years total of sane politicians or in a row? Because I’m sure we can get a nonfascist in eventually, but 12+ years in a row of politicians who are merely sane is a big ask pretty much everywhere
When you compare to the fascist felon there’s a wide margin for sanity.
Their system prevents them from electing sane politicians.
Can they elect none geriatric people maybe.
That would be a great start indeed. The US government looks like an old folk’s home, complete with the rambling, incoherent dementia-sufferers.
I’m sucking down the hopeium bottle by bottle:
It shows! 🤣
Or 3 out of the 4 never trusted them to begin with. 1 might think we can fix it
I don’t even like the idea of flying over the USA to go on vacation to Mexico. We might just save up and go to a hot part of Europe instead, it’s just a lot more flying.
