I’m an American. I used to say I’m a proud American. I can’t say that anymore. I read your article and started to cry halfway through. I live along the shores of Lake Erie in Pennsylvania. I can see Canada on a clear day. That always gave me comfort because of our 2 country’s alliance with each other.
I abhor how Trump is running our country into the ground. Most of my friends do also. I have 6 grandchildren and I’m scared to death of them growing up with these policies. I’m scared to death that the MAGA cult will brainwash them.
I understand why Canadians (and actually the rest of the free world), feel as you do. But let me tell you this. There are many of us who are working diligently to make this administration the last of its kind. I pray daily that we will be able to regain your trust and friendship. My husband was born in Italy and we used to jokingly talk about moving there. It’s not jokingly saying it anymore.
Thanks for sharing your story and your support. If you're looking into Italy I suggest you get an immigration lawyer because they're in the process of changing their citizenship laws in response to recent changes
There exists a majority in these United States that are appalled by what this convicted felon aka 45/47 has done to OUR country. Every person who DID NOT VOTE, and ALLOWED THIS FELON TO GET ELECTED, NOW NEEDS TO GET OFF THEIR PERCH and USE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL POWER IN 2026 TO STOP HIM FROM DOING ANY MORE DAMAGE. Emoluments, Impoundments,stripping people of their Constitutional rights because of the color of their skin or their religion, are not included in the Supreme Court ruling in 2024.
Putin is getting what he wants because of the lethal kompromat he has gathered on politicians, oligarchs, and military personnel in The West. Most Americans do not follow MAGA:
YET.
It’s going to be a long road back to respectability; let alone world leader. I’ve often said I would like for the US to get out of the empire business. It wasn’t created to become a “superpower”. The price for that is literally losing your national soul. Don’t fall for it!
Build your new and stronger alliances with other nations and remember :
All that glitters is not gold.
Be safe and be Well .
We’ll see you again between 2050 and 2100; and yes, it will take that long + another Great Depression to “right the ship”🚢 and be “seaworthy” once again.
This is so dreadfully true. As individuals, personal betrayal cuts deeply and one either remains broken or rises stronger but less trusting. One can move on to healthier relationships but never restores that trust.
There is an old story of a Spartan lad who having stolen a fox and hid it under his coat has it eat out his innards. Some in the USA don’t realize how deeply they have been gnawed from within. The very values that are vaulted have been eroded. There is a faction that will rise just as history showed in the French Revolution. This version of “let them eat bread” while cuts are being made at the bottom will not go unattested. And that’s when we should be afraid, very afraid.
Those who would evilly construct the destruction for their own gains and from behind the scenes will have no control over open insurrection of a highly armed population with little ideology other than revenge.
We have a stronger PM that is not political, with a very strong economic background. He thinks that Canada can be much stronger economically and can be a force in the world that stands up for what's right
Since FUHRER Trump , CANADA has become more Perfect with a resounding push back against American Fascism. Canadians will no longer play second fiddle. We are a Sovereign Country, with Territorial Integrity that we will protect. Canada will become stronger Economically when Provincial Barriers removed. We will get Stronger when Trade Agreements with 100+ Countries outside of Canada,excluding Fascist America. It’s to bad that FUHRER TRUMP and his FASCIST Administration threaten our Sovereignty with ANNEXATION through TARIFFS trying to destroy our ECONOMY. Fascist America once was a Democratic Allie,Trading Partner and Neighbor. Now they have become an FASCIST ADVERSARY. Thanks to FUHRER Trump repugnant lack of Diplomacy . And HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS brought upon the Citizens of America. America is no longer safe for Citizens of other Countries. The American Gestapo (ICE) and American SS(DHS) are a threat to FOREIGN VISITORS AND STUDENTS.
This is who & what America is now. It may not be what America was, and I hope it is not all that America is even now. But you can’t fight this if you don’t recognize that it’s real.

If that's the case we're in even bigger trouble
Indeed Molly : the term
“American refugee” is become commonplace now.

God Bless Canada 🇨🇦
God Bless America
We’ll see you later.
I did not want to point this out, but it took WW2 to sort out Germany's government and society.
You can most assuredly point that out:
WWIII is already here.
It’s simply does not look like the world wars of the past.
Yes it started in Ukraine while Syria is going in a different direction. The things that happened in HK is also a prelude of what to expect

It is time for Canada to move on and be open to other options that are closer to its values.
Was it Macron who said - “we can no longer be reliant on voters in Wisconsin every four years?”
No another French politician but he is still correct. We can’t let the fate of the world be in the hands of some random US swing states
Indeed , and amen.
Canadian Superpower 🤔 … I guess anything is possible with this asanine vacuum the Russian Mafiya MULE created.
Anything is possible now as odd as that sounds

Elbows Up 💪🏼🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I hope so
What’s left of NATO & FIVE EYES is everything to democracy.
GODSPEED 🇨🇦
It's Canada and everyone vs the USA as sad as that sounds.
😿

Appreciate the warnings
