Didn't realise you weren't American, sorry for assuming. Admittedly I'm very jaded right now (and a bit drunk) with all the threats of invasion and with Americans either laughing it off or being all for it (and I recognise that's not all Americans but it's enough). Like, "haha, Canada will turn the USA blue!"

And fine, yeah Canada is pretty up there for LGBT rights, but when one of the main platform points (imported from the USA!) from the Conservatives right now seems to be just straight up attacking trans people, it makes me pretty worried. I have multiple family members and a few friends who are trans or non binary and the rhetoric is scary.

But TL;DR, not angry at you, just America(ns). I apologise to the good Americans, but your country is exporting a lot of bullshit right now. More than usual

American here. I would love for us to come up and take over your country.

You piggyback on our military, and I believe any detriments to Canada will be balanced by benefits to America.
