Oh how I wish we didn't share a geographic border with this fuck-up of a nation (with its ability to spread diseases directly to us).
... and how I also wish we didn't have a significant cell of idiots within our borders who seem to believe the same insanity.
EU, please take under your wing. Whatever faults may be there surely it must be better than this.
Albertans would swim in shit streams and eat road kill if they could.
Even Albertans know they gotta build some pipelines because the US is going down the tubes. Still not with it enough to understand O&G is a dead end, but it's obvious to even them there's no future selling anything to the US.
No, I would not. Be careful with generalizations as they include all the people most negatively effected by the policies of the region. Criticizing "Alberta"? Completely fair. Criticizing all "Albertans", people who didn't choose to be born here, to have their families here? Very different, and a cohesion/division fallacy if you give it more than a passing thought.
Saying that every person here is evil or stupid because of the choices of a government, ignoring those who voted against the government and then rolling the moral standing of both groups in with each other is an awful thing to do.
They don't already?
Monkeys Paw curls: you’re now a resource rich nation with little man power or military strength isolated from Europe geographically and Russia is your neighbor. “EU please take us under your wing”Ukraine2022-2026 Lmfaoo.
You goofys are stuck with us on this ride to hell. Strap in and less bitching and whining.
Fuck that, I'm already buying nothing from the US, and I'm not the only one. Every time I go to the grocery store there's fewer US products (because people aren't buying them) and more products from Canada and elsewhere. Sure there will be an economic impact on Canada if the US collapses, but we'll still have food and a functional country so we can adapt. We know the direction the US is going even if you don't and we aren't going to be pulled down into being a shithole country like the US is becoming.
Russia is on the ropes right now, and the US doesn't have a good track record with occupying countries and can't even keep it's government running right now LOL. Hegseth wants to turn the US military into being more like ICE and cowards like that would shit themselves before they even got close to actual combat.
Your country is falling apart, everyone in the world knows it and is already figuring out how things will work after the US collapses, because you're the only "goofys" that would go from being the richest country on the the planet to complete collapse because y'all got suckered by a shady real estate conman twice.
Once again, completely detached from reality. The right wing movements popping up in Canada and Europe are just a little bit younger than ours, they have the same resources at their disposal and they’re learning a lot of valuable lessons in real time from our dictatorship. You will get your dictatorship soon goofy ass. Look how quick you are to make friends, it seems like you are the perfect political target for the type of thing that is happening in America 🤷♂️. The Murdoch family will get you guys soon. Don’t worry. Just stay mad at us foreigners and lean into that nationalism you just regurgitated. Goofy.
Yeah and the rest of us are learning too. Look at the recent elections in Canada, Australia, Finland, etc. MAGA style politics were soundly rejected.
Goofy Americans LOL. But you can still have a sense of pride over influencing the world (that seems important to you) but as a cautionary tale that no one wants for their own country.
What do you think the end game here is when the Nazis have a stranglehold on America? do you think their plan is to let you just sit there and do whatever you want? Do you think they plan on sticking to election interference or maybe get a little more aggressive? Like no one’s going to go after Canada in the later stages of this? Who’s going to come to your aid when you’re landlocked by the largest navy in existence? You’re goofy asses are in this with us. They’ve already started the claim of 51st state lmao. Just delusional to the interconnectedness of our two countries. Americas fate is your fate too.
Germany seems to be having a hard time with their far right, Italy, Hungary, France. I think there are more examples. You guys fended off a polished PP but he’ll be back. Your wealth inequality and housing crisis ain’t getting any better. It’s just a matter of time. How are things in Alberta anyway? I’m going to take a wild guess and say you live on the coast? Or an internet echo chamber?
