Are you Canadian? I have some Canadian friends and their vibe is mostly pity and offering to help if needed. I hope Canadians arenāt upset at Americans as a whole, and I generally donāt get that vibe. Obviously I only know Canadians that know me, so theyāre predisposed to being nice to me lol.
Weāre a lot less upset now that we see people actually fighting back - the protests, town hall zoos, Teslas spontaneously combustingā¦
Iām torn between disgust overall and pity and wanting to help. The thing that leans me towards the latter instead of the former is that I can see the right here in Canada trying to follow americaās footstepsā¦
Iām empathetic towards those who voted against this, but disgusted with the country on the whole.
Thanks for your insight as an actual Canadian lol. We really are (and have been) trying to get this under control for years at this point. We appreciate you understanding that and seeing that at least itās not all of us.
One of my Canadian friends parents have trump signs in their yard and they are Canadian and have never been American or even to America. Itās really crazy that this is happening so many places. At least we can hope that people see where itās left us and start actually changing their minds for the better for their own country. What happened with Le Pen recently might have happened regardless, but after seeing what not punishing officials leads to, I hope other countries learn from our mistakes.
Good luck up there. Iām sorry this is where we are, but hopefully not for long.
Yeah I say this living less than 30 mins from the border lol. The other response is not just out of touch of the relationship at the border but also not understanding how refugee status works.
Iām sorry to say it, but I think youāll find the world is upset with Americans as a whole. You really shit the proverbial bed on this one. A few people that know you personally probably isnāt a good indication of the welcome youāre going to receive en mass, especially in countries that are being explicitly targeted, like Canada. Iām not saying itās right, Iām just saying maybe temper your expectations.
Gotta remember that line from MIB: āA person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animalsā
