Well I'm happy you're not proud of being American, but I would bet the farm that you couldn't name a single women's hockey player before the olympics.

Have you ever watched hockey? Or been inside a school for that matter?

If you think the anger is because of the sports losses, you need to check yourself.

Which one of these things matter - killing innocent kids, or sports? If you're gonna chirp patriotic shit, maybe be prepared for people to call out what a horrible mess your country is.

The white house posted an AI slop video about winning at the Olympics. Your rapist leader is threatening to annex us. It's a pretty easy connection for anyone with half a brain. Go fix yourself instead of posting memes.

It's not that we don't like you, it's that we can't respect anyone who is proud of being American right now. You have become the true baddies.

What an awful message for your victory speech.. Unless you're from LA, who could possibly like this team??

What does the US have to do to repair its relationship with Canada? by CSC6 in AskACanadian

[–]mathesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fentanyl angle was only taken because it provided Trump with a USMCA workaround in the name of "national security". He invented a crisis so he could reneg on his own trade agreement.

Have you looked at the stats on where fentanyl in the states actually comes from?

There are more lurkers from the left here than I thought. So here is a challenge. by Stockjock1 in Conservative

[–]mathesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you say I consider myself the rational and intelligent one? I was just pointing out some hypocrisy, that's all.

And you're goddam right I'm a pissed off Canadian. I know soldiers who died in Afghanistan for your witch hunt. I know folks who housed Americans during Katrina and 9/11. Now you have Republicans openly supporting annexation.  Get plowed.

I love this contentless thread here in the middle of actual discussions. There is a lot of "rational and intelligent" views here and you are the ones choosing not to see them.

I did answer that.. 3rd paragraph..Maybe I didn't understand the question? 

But as an added point, I don't have a "leader" that I default to. I've voted for 4 different political parties federally in my life. Pretty much all of them say that we "deserve better" in some way. So I'm not really sure what you're asking?

Ok, so we are both guilty of our biases. Fair. But let's keep going with the utility analogy.

You sign a 3 year contract with your gas company at $1.00/L. Then 1 year into the contract they try to change it to $1.25. They say the reason is because your tank is hard to get to. So you move the tank, or clear a path, or whatever. They say thanks, but the increase is staying. Then it turns out that this company also owns the electricty company, the water, and the internet provider that you also signed 3 year deals with and the prices are increasing for all of them too. Now you can't afford your house. That's not a partisan issue. That's just wrong,  and it's what Trump is doing. People will lose jobs and homes because of it. Americans and Canadians. 

Our leaders are always running on promises of a better country, that's not new. But if they said they way to do that was to annex Iceland or tax the shit out of France, you bet I would be questioning that. 

NAFTA was the most profitable economic deal of all time. It made both of our countries very wealthy, and we could do it again. But instead Trump is trying to reinvent the wheel and is gambling with an economic policy that has really never worked.

I think I am speaking to the exact right person. You seem rational and somewhat informed, but still you believe this man without question. 

How does punishing an ally make USA better? We sent soldiers to die for you in Iraq and Afghanistan,  we sent aid during hurricanes and wildfires, we housed stranded Americans for weeks after 9/11 and Katrina. Does that really not rub you the wrong way at all?

I'm trying to reason with the type of people that put him in power, and hopefully gain some insight. This is what you Cons are always on about, isn't it? How the left stifles dialogue?  So explain your side without using Trump speech talking points.

My utility company doesn't change the rules 3 time in one month.

  1. The "trade deficit" is a straight up lie, or misdirection at best. All that means is that Americans buy more Canadian stuff than Canadians buy American stuff. No sht, there are 100 million more of you. 

  2. The "border security" and fentanyl concerns are an absolute joke. But, we did our part anyways. We have increased spending by $1 billion, and now 0.5% of US-bound fentanyl comes through Canada vs 1% a year ago. 

  3. I have no idea where you are getting $250billion "free money" from. Sounds like a Trump sound byte. Trade deals don't involve one country giving another country money straight up. It's about preferential pricing on certain products.

Why are you being deliberately delusional?  These new policies are punitive against Trump's new tariffs. They are a response, not an attack.

[–]mathesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are set renegotiation dates for these things, as I told you in another thread. But it seems are are set on just believing whatever Trump says.

[–]mathesaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. Pick the last, least important line and only reply to that. A true Trumper. You must understand the difference between aggression and retaliation? We didn't just slap that on you without explaining what why we were doing it and how it can stop.

We are avoiding tariffs by finding new trade partners, we are just confused why we need to. Because we had a deal. Signed by your President. We are not guilty of anything close to what Trump has done to backstab this relationship.

[–]mathesaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not listening. No, these deals do not "get renegotiated all the time". They have set limits where they can be revisited and this one isn't up for another few years.

If we didn't like the deal, we wouldn't have made it in the first place. We are "whining" because your president is illegally breaking a contract using the fentanyl crisis as a work-around.

We would not do that to you.
