We realize that most Americans didn’t vote for Trump (only 49.8%) and that most of those who did probably didn’t understand what tariffs are and how they work and we realize that Trump’s action and our response are going to hurt poor Americans, and poor Americans in red states more than others, but we’re not going to take illegal tariffs sitting down.
Just a reminder who Trump is pissing off.

Just for people who don’t know, this never happens. Hockey fans tend to be respectful during other country’s anthems
Yes. See the link in the original post that includes a Canadian hockey audience finishing the US national anthem when the PA system went out.
Hockey fans booing another team’s anthem is not done.
American here. Please keep doing this.
^ Another American here; and I second this notion! ^
Good.
fucking save us we’d do the same for you :c
I look forward to apologizing that my fellow citizens, who likely don’t even have a passport, voted for this troll every time I travel overseas now. “Travel Cringe”
As a Russian escaped Russia, in my experience people all over the world are incredibly good at differentiating between a shit country and it’s unfortunate citizens who got unlucky to be born there. I had to have my fair share of embarrassment about what those fucks back in Russia are doing, but people are usually understanding enough
Good, if America won’t stand for Freedom, than we cannot stand for America, none of us can.
America hasn’t really stood for Freedom (in the pure sense and deserving of a capital F) from when it’s “Democracy” ‘for male landowners only’ was formed, followed by a couple of centuries of taking all the land of the territory it claimed away from the Commons (and the various Indian Tribes who were its main users) and making all of it have owners (i.e. with its use by others controlled by said owners rather than Free).
In its territory, America has had somewhat better periods in that regard, but even the end of Slavery didn’t really end it, just restricted it to be only for prisioners, whilst outside its territory America always acted to make other people’s lives and possessions serve the best interests of a powerful subsection of the American society rather than be free (hence how most of those interventions involved replacing one dictator by a different pro-America dictator, or setting up semi-Democratic regimes whose hands were tied by a web of obligations to America and some of it’s allies, such as how the US and UK basically gave themselves oil exploitation contracts for most of Iraq’s oil wealth and “security” contracts at the end of the 2nd Iraq War and then set up a “Democratic” government there).
However unlike with regimes were the web of laws and property that curtails most people’s freedom is much thinner and more direct, and hence more obvious, American Propaganda on “Freedom” has always been top-notch.
I don’t think non-Canadians know how angry we have to be to boo a national anthem. We’d cheer for the North Korean anthem if they sent a hockey team for us to play against.
I don’t think you know how embarrassed Americans, who didn’t vote for this twit, are about how he is treating our closest and most important ally.
I’m one of those embarrassed Americans who voted against this. Canadians have every right to be angry.
I won’t give a pass to americans just because they didn’t vote for him. There’s a lot of americans who just didn’t vote, period. Anyone who didn’t actively cast a ballot in opposition to that fuck stain of a president is just a guilty of him being there as the ones who did vote for him. Considering only 152,320,193 people voted in the 2024 US election from a population or 340,110,988, where 268,687,680 of them are over 18, that leaves roughly some 100 million people who could have voted against this but chose not to. More people just didn’t vote than voted for either the Democrats or republicans. As far as I’m concerned, those people really didn’t care if a fascist government was elected and really don’t care about anyone but themselves. So I won’t accept apologies from americans trying to wash their hand of this. Their government has threatened Canada’s sovereignty, has thrown the first attack, and I blame every single american person that voted for trump, or couldn’t be bothered to go out and vote against him, whatever their reason may be.
As the great Canadian band Rush once sang: “If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.”
They don’t get to wash their hands of the fascist government just because they chose to ignore the problem rather than cast a vote. They decided the prospect of fascism was just as bad as having a black woman as president.
IMHO Embarrassing doesn’t even begin to describe the situation.
Maybe it’s just me, but I assume they’re talking about Americans who didn’t vote for Trump here, not folks who didn’t vote.
And if they are an American using Lemmy it’s probable that they did vote, and didn’t vote for Trump. If they were lazy they would be using Reddit.
No worries, eh! May you come out on the other side of this insanity better than going into it. Until then, can you help a bro out and change the laws to let descendants of Canadians claim citizenship?
Life in Canada is about to get so insanely difficult that you might want to reconsider this plan
Is there a non-twitter link anywhere?
Normally I see something like this when a xitter link is embedded, by the way.
I suggest installing something like libredirect (https://libredirect.github.io/) to automatically sub in xitter links for a Nitter instance of your choosing. Manually, replace twitter with xcancel and VIOLA, bob’s yer uncle:
https://xcancel.com/SunGarrioch/status/1885844148563099971?ref_src=twsrc^tfw
People still sometimes send me FB links; not sure if there is something for that yet.
In the end of this shit show, Canada and Europe are closer than ever.
That’s what happened last time. Global trade realigned and the US was left out. Just ask soy bean farmers.
Just ask soy bean farmers.
Soy bean farmers got direct subsidies to offset the damage that Trump did last time. They didn’t learn shit, they voted for him again, and would again given a choice.
Large industrial farms got subsidies. Many small farms went under permanently.
And for every job that was saved, it cost the US ~$900,000.
But the saddest thing were the TV interviews of some of the farmers who had lost the business that had been in their families for generations. Many of them were saying that they still believed in Trump.
They figuratively shot themselves in the foot and were yelling “Ha! Take that libs”

I remember one of them saying they “didn’t really like the tweeting”.
As if the TWEETING was the fucking problem. Yeah, he’s fucking everything up, including my livelihood, but if only he was just a bit more CIVIL about it and not so coarse on the intarwebz.
First hockey video I’ll purposefully click on in many years. Cool.
We didn’t even really like Americans BEFORE the tariffs. I wonder, do Americans realize how every other country sees them? Not just the government, but how we see the citizens?
Why do you think we call ourselves Canadians when we travel?
I hate that you guys do that.
I’ve actually not done that, but it’s such a cliche at this point that I wonder if some foreigners that buy it either have complete misimpressions of Canadians, or think that either there are more Canadians than Americans or that they just travel a heck of a lot more… 🤣
In any case, given the loud and abrasive, slobby and entitled Karen behavior of so many Americans, can you blame other Americans for not wanting to be associated with that kind of person when they travel?
I sure as hell don’t. You should probably be flattered, honestly.
No, because much more of you act like that than you realize. Most of you are not the “one of the good ones” you think you are, and then people abroad associate that behaviour with Canadians.
Yeah Americans act distinctly American. Super lame to smear Canadians by pretending to be one. We are not the same. I’m well traveled and anywhere I go it’s painfully obvious who the Americans are. Even smart ones are brainwashed into thinking the US is the center of the world and it shows in all of their mannerisms
Like half of America voted for Trump. We are not the same people
Some of us do and were ashamed at how hateful and destructive our fellow Americans can be. And it sucks that they continuously refuse to listen to reason despite the facts laid before them. Most of the supporters I know of have their head firmly in the sand with no idea what’s coming.
No. Americans primarily consume American media. Foreign media and news is socialist commie propaganda, or something.
Americans primarily consume McDonald’s from what I’ve seen.

Thank you Canada. We deserve it.
We deserve it.
