      We did a great vacation to Iceland last year. The geology and history were amazing, and they take so much pride in their local cuisine. I’d rather spend my money with them than the US any day

    Closest allies can’t be friends because king shits his pants said so. You can’t make this level of stupidity up.

        I grew up visiting Canada and I have a lot of friends and now family that are Canadian. I think this is insanity. Threatening your closest ally is psychologically destabilizing to the population.

        This sick and demented practice of pitting brothers against each other. It is disgusting and debased behavior. It reminds me of a shit ass Russian psyop campaign. Kind of like the whole Nazi in Ukraine thing that was used as a pretext for an invasion.

        It amounts to an huge human right’s abuse on a nationwide scale in my book. The perpetrators deserve retribution.The most disgusting part of it all is that it al amounts to Trump’s cabinet extorting everyone in the world. Everyone is expected to just keep bribing the corrupt White House endlessly. The shit king of the world collecting his never ending tax.

          Growing up here, we have never seen you amicably.

          We go to great lengths to distance ourselves from you.

          Did you think we celebrate burning your government building and 9/11 out of some weird admiration?

          We hate that we had to give you the top half of Maine out of good will, we hate you got Alaska, and getting those is our ambition.

            Hey, I totally get you bought into the propaganda. Xenophobia is a common state of mind. Also, it is only natural to hate the US government because it has always been an abusive entity to anyone who cares to pay attention.

      I’m not sure how much significance to put on this difference in semantics. The devil is in the details here.
