This week is a betrayal of the longstanding friendly and mutually-beneficial relationship between our two countries. The damage is done, and cannot be undone.

To the USA,

Fuck you.

Sincerely,
A Canadian

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

If they actually tried it’d be the worst nightmare for them in short order.

They can try. They’ll fail. Bet hay we find a way to burn-down the White House again too, at a minimum.

Dear Trump,

Pretending otherwise just hands ammo to the far-right and real fascists, because they can point to any smidge of organization and say, no matter how ridiculous it is, “SEE?! SEE?!”

Gunboat Diplomat 🇨🇦 @gdiplomat.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, “antifa” does “just” stand for anti-fascist. But can we please stop pretending there is NO organization to it? I’ve been in the underground forums and comms. There ARE people who organize things collectively.

It’s amorphous, yes, but it’s not *just* a descriptor of one’s political position.

"Great men do not seek power. They have power thrust upon them."

People most deserving of leadership seldom want it.

Wwhhhhoooooaaaaa…

Sometimes it feels like the American system of government is still in beta, while Westminster hit v1.0 a while back…

Gunboat Diplomat 🇨🇦 @gdiplomat.bsky.social · 3d

I mean, I would. But I also figure the Devil, if they exist, is pretty chill. All my fellow queers end-up with him, plus anyone who has an abundance of critical thought and lands on atheism or condemns the supposed perfect words of god that are straight-up evil.

Gunboat Diplomat 🇨🇦 @gdiplomat.bsky.social · 3d

Anyone going that hard with the incredulity definitely did it. lmao

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

When you’re such a dick the representatives of every country in the EU kick you out.

Gunboat Diplomat 🇨🇦 @gdiplomat.bsky.social · 5d

Ethics in healthcare neither. :/

Gunboat Diplomat 🇨🇦 @gdiplomat.bsky.social · 5d

Healthcare information protection laws? Don’t know them.

Gunboat Diplomat 🇨🇦 @gdiplomat.bsky.social · 5d

lol. I pay less for that here in Canada and I know they have faaaaar lower average incomes than we do.

Sorry not sorry.

Gunboat Diplomat 🇨🇦 @gdiplomat.bsky.social · 6d

Nor temple, mosque, synagogue, nor the shrine you have in your home to any pagan deities. Or literally anything like those.

Besides, those c-nts don’t even follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. I dare say I’m more Christian than them in my actions, and I’m an atheist.

This is amazing.

Yellow vest guy, I salute you.

The solution is exactly this. Apple can’t/won’t block Progressive Web Apps or your browser.

Did we ever really understand it? This year with my neighbours losing their minds has really cemented my believe that life is an absurdist drama.

Gunboat Diplomat 🇨🇦 @gdiplomat.bsky.social · 7d

This year I have agreed wholeheartedly with some of the things MTG and Hasan f’kin’ Piker have said. And that’s off the top of my head.

What weird and wacky timeline am I living in?
