The era of deep economic, security and military ties between Canada and the United States "is over," Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday, after President Donald Trump announced steep auto tariffs. "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over," Carney said.
While I can’t fault your feelings, a lot of us are unable to do much without going homeless/hungry. Too many of us are living paycheck to paycheck, as by design, to do anything without losing what little they already have.
There are protests everywhere, the media is just downplaying/intentionally not reporting on them.
But we are very, very sorry. Many of us have been actively fighting against this fascist bullshit for years, since 2016/17. People like myself have alienated family and friends who support this fascist regime.
There’s always more someone like me can do, but the tradeoffs are getting worse and worse. It’s easier for me to just leave the country at this point and go to a country that aligns with my views and the way people should be treated.
It’s pretty wild that the median income before tax in the USA is less than the median income in Denmark after tax (based solely on income tax). Just to put things into perspective.
With that said, it will only get worse for the American people if they don’t get rid of this administatrion, and everything that has made it possible for this administration to do as it does. You think it’s hard to make ends meet now? What about when you don’t have any tradepartners anymore? Or when all your worker rights are stripped away?
So you are waiting for your personal turn on the DOGE chopping block?.. bit of advice, by the time they come for YOU specifically, it will be too late
Easier to hold the mountain passes than march on the capital. My elected representatives are already some of the better ones and anything more drastic needs large, organized groups and actions beyond my skill or resources.
Really, I’m banking on this fascist regime eating itself or outside help in the civil war.
Then do that!
The has the “we have tried nothing and are all out of ideas” vibe
I just recognize that the enemy is a well-connected and near-infinitely-resourced christofascist propaganda movement, and there’s no point in making a political or literal martyr of myself when I can support my family and friends through the current and future uncertainty.
Again, this is exactly the mentality that allowed the situation to be this bad
Alright smartass, tell me how I could have convinced millions of Americans thousands of miles away to vote different.
