I wish Doug Ford would stop addressing Ontarians as “friends”.
I’m not your friend, @fordnation, and neither are the increasing majority of Ontario residents. #ontariolockdown#ontpoli#DougFord
@jean_cliff33838@MichelleLA1981@StarshipAlves I’ve been in Canada my whole life and my family since the 1650s. Compared to the U.S. we’re not that patriotic. Never have been. There are a lot of people becoming less and less proud of this country every day, me included.
@MichelleLA1981@StarshipAlves I’ve crossed into NB from Maine a few times, they were all really nice on the Canadian side. Maybe it’s just a southern Ontario thing, not sure.
@MichelleLA1981@StarshipAlves Just got back today! I go over fairly often and have definitely noticed that the U.S. Customs officers at the Peace Bridge are super friendly, ours not so much.
I’ve lived in Canada for 18 years now—long enough to shed my illusions, but not long enough to stop being stunned by what I see. When I first arrived, I thought Canadians were polite—too polite, almost unbearably so. The endless “sorrys,” the soft tones, the careful avoidance of conflict. It felt harmless at first, even charming in contrast to the bluntness of my Hungarian, German, or Eastern European roots. But then I realized something deeper, something darker: Canadians apologize too much for the meaningless, and never for what matters.
They say sorry when they bump into you, when they’re five seconds late, when they interrupt. But they do not apologize when they abuse power. They do not apologize when they destroy someone’s life through bureaucracy, cowardice, or complicity. They do not apologize when they ostracize courage, when they punish truth, when they betray integrity. They apologize for nothingness—and when the moment demands moral courage, they hide.
They hide behind procedure. Behind policy. Behind institutions. Behind NDAs. Behind committees, processes, protocols. Behind phrases like “we’re reviewing this internally” and “that’s beyond my authority.” They hide behind the pretense of empathy while quietly perpetuating injustice. They hide behind performative busy-ness: “I wish I had time,” “I’m swamped,” “I’ve been unwell.” There is enormous power in powerlessness—and Canadians wield it masterfully.
I used to think this country was built on the legacy of bold nations—the literary depth of England, the fire of Ireland, the courage of France, the principle of fraternity, equality, democracy. But those roots have withered under the snow. What’s left is a culture that confuses niceness with goodness, procedure with justice, and quiet compliance with peace.
This isn’t the land of Shakespeare anymore, nor of Napoleonic visionaries. It’s a land of castratos—polite, sterilized souls who prefer comfort to confrontation, and optics to truth.
Canada’s greatest tragedy is not its cruelty, but its cowardice.

I know this tariff battle has got Canadians seemingly pitted against Americans, but I want to make something clear for the record
Our beef is not with the Canadian people
It is with the liberal Canadian government terrorizing the Canadian people
Tens of millions of Americans appreciate the Canadian truckers for what they did to destroy Covid protocols worldwide
We are now fighting your hostile government to help liberate you
@elonmusk I’m so embarrassed to be a Canadian living in Ontario. 🥴
I’m close to the border and go to the U.S. frequently for some sanity. Hoping to make it permanent. 🇺🇸 💕
The very minute Trudeau is voted out of office Canada will be united & erupt in celebration like no other. Raise your hand if you can't wait for this day!
People always tell me Canada is a such a free country and they're right.
We have the freedom to work. You'll just have half your income stolen through various taxes.
We have the freedom to hunt, fish, drive, buy alcohol and have access to healthcare, as long as govt says it's ok and you pay the appropriate amount to do so.
We have the freedom to refuse exparimental medical procedures. You'll just be targeted with relentless propaganda, barred from society and possibly lose your job.
We have the freedom to protest the govt. You'll just be trampled by police, have your bank account frozen and possibly thrown in jail.
We have the freedom to vote, as long as we're voting for preselected candidates that have been bought and paid for by the system.
The list goes on when it comes to all the freedoms we Canadians have.
My God, this is worse than I thought.
It's so hot that the city names on the map are starting to disappear.
Also, the lava flowing into Ontario is so hot that it's turning purple.
Get vaccinated.
Here is Trudeau with his 7 idiling SUV’s about to board his plane to fly off to wherever he pleases. But don’t dare ask to remove the carbon tax for the summer because a road trip will burn the planet down.
Begged my mom not to get the Covid shots and later the boosters. She was diagnosed with stage 4 metastasized lung cancer today. Fuck cancer. Fuck the Covid lies and bullshit and fuck Trudeau.
The very first day this guy is out of office & the Liberals 9 year reign over Canada ends should be declared a national day of celebration. A collective sigh of relief will be felt across our nation. Mental health will improve, it will be momentous.
