    As a Canadian, nah. America’s basically manic/unstable. You voted in Biden after the first Trump shitshow, and then went back to Trump. There’s absolutely no guarantee that America won’t just elect Donald Trump Junior to be dictator in a future election cycle.

    Even more, many dems are quietly supporting the general moves of the government, in regards to tariffs etc. They just wanted the verbiage to be a bit nicer, as America went about fucking over their allies.

    Our leaders will likely bend over at some point, because that’s what politicians seem to do. But for the rest of us, I hope we continue avoiding America, and continue pushing for separating our economies / cultures / critical industries. Only way I’d be enticed to consider moving closer to how ties were before, would be if we see America do what a “Leader” of the “Free world” should do: allow your war criminals to be tried in the international criminal court for their crimes against humanity etc.

    Don’t impeach. Send Hegseth to the Hague, then we’ll talk.

      Heghserh to the Hague would be one required step amongst thousands. At this point the USA will have to do much, MUCH more to become an acceptable neighbor

      Amongst those steps

      Official apologies for wanting to take over Canada, including the insults, threats, and acts of subterfuge (hello Alberta)

      Sending both heghseth and trump to the Hague

      Confiscatng all the money and assets the trump family gathered and stole during trumps presidency

      A full reversal of prettt much every law trump added to the books during his tenancy

      A reversal of all presidential pardons, put all those criminals back in jail

      Official corruption investigationa on every level of government, jailing everyone involved

      Official corruption and bribery investigations for all large companies that have worked with the US government, jailing all CEOs who bribed US government officials

      Complete revision of how elections work
