Who in the fuck do you think introduced alcohol to First Nations Peoples?! It’s colonizers! Your complete ignorance (and that of other racists like yourself) is also to blame.

Open a Canadian History book written in the last 10 years & you’ll know why that is. Colonization is at the root of all this intergenerational trauma. The 60s scoop, residential schools, the list goes on… Do they not teach this in American schools? Your gov’t treated them much like ours did. Go read

Especially seeing as this is NOT about peace. It is some sick capitalist takeover of a land that belongs to the Palestinians.

Let’s go, Canada! I’m all for this. This will destroy the oil and gas dependant American auto industry. China is a far more stable trade partner than the USA. I just don’t trust the whole of America anymore. Sorry not sorry.

I want to see all of them in jail, including the entire Trump crime family. Only in America can somebody so completely stupid become president. Twice.

🙄 His assets are in a blind trust. He isn’t enriching himself like Trump is doing (crypto, bibles, bribes). He isn’t playing culture wars like PP… the list goes on. He is adapting to fast changing and Trump-driven bullying tactics. We are very lucky. PP would have sold us out to the states by now.
