Recently, I’ve been treated different from people I worked with for almost 10 years because I told them I was half American. My father was born in Vermont and immigrated to Canada when he was a teenager. I was born in Canada, but my American roots run deep. I have two aunts who serve/d in the US military. My papa served in the navy during the Korean War. I have a multitude of family in the states I’ve never met, but hope to one day. I have a very special place in my heart for my American neighbours and friends.
This feud perpetuated by the Canadian leaders and media has grown so exponentially out of control that neither logic or reason can change the minds of stalwart liberal Canadians. For some reason, to them, America is our enemy just because they elected a president who is looking out for his country after being taken advantage of for many years. The TDS that exists in Canada is akin to psychosis in its most basic form. It’s become a cult. If you don’t hate America and you buy their products, or you travel somewhere in the states, somehow to them you are a traitor and a Trump loving fanatic. It’s lunacy at worst, ignorance at best. I’ve been told to keep sucking trumps **** and move the the states because I don’t subscribe to the visible animosity and hatred for a country that has been our closest ally and friend since our country’s inception. Those who cannot see past their own nose to see what this division has created will surely be the ones on the wrong side of history. You cannot cut off your nose to spite your face. We cannot take a chainsaw and saw our border off with America just because you currently hate one president, who by the way has done more for his country than all of our prime ministers combined.
The sheer amount of hatred from the “tolerant left” is breaking our country and our way of life in half. You can hate trump all you want to. Do I like the person he is? No, I think he’s rather arrogant and pompous. Is he a good president? Sure, he loves his country and wants only what’s best for it. The fact that a liberals entire personality is based on identity politics, social justice and equality has transformed what was once an “anti-establishment” movement into a cult-like identity that if you don’t agree with their way of thinking, you are a redneck hillbilly. As if that’s supposed to be some sort of insult. I’m a proud blue collar redneck, so for me to care about what you call me, I must first have to value your opinion, which I do not.
One day, I hope coexistence can happen, however the brokenness that exists in Canadian liberals minds cannot soon be fixed, thanks to years of programming and propaganda. I love all people equally, I don’t care who you are, what colour, what religion, what sexuality. You do you boo. But I will not sit idly by while some city slicker in an ivory tower tells me that I’m a traitor to my own because I choose to ignore the noise and make my own decisions.
Canada and the USA have coexisted peacefully for our entire lives and generations. It’s unproductive to pick fights with our friends. And for many of us, our families. I’m a proud American Canadian and nothing you can say will ever change that fact.
Happy 4th to my American brothers and sisters. Let freedom ring, and god bless America and Canada. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
@xTylerB_@globeandmail I’m a terrible person because I don’t want to live in a crowded city? Weird take but ok. I don’t want to live by you people either, thats why I do live rural. City folk are some of the rudest, most intolerant people on the planet and you just proved that.
I have two of my own and two step kids. I do not parent his kids, I will care for them and love them when they’re here but it is not my job to be a babysitter. They have two whole ass parents. Saying that it’s your responsibility to parent someone’s kid is just making excuses for shitty dads who only marry for a built in babysitter.
Look up nacho parenting style.
While BC is crushed with overspending and mismanagement of public funds, I do believe it to be the right call. I support the school being demolished and a memorial put in its place.
I couldn’t imagine being a student there that went through that horror to have to walk back in the doors and see the scene where it happened. Blood can be cleaned, but the memories will always be with them.
