The Untied States is literally becoming like nazi Germany and I don’t know if people understand that I’m not exaggerating. I legitimately can’t tell if people realize that America is now a fascist dictatorship, likely to soon go full on nazi Germany and make it explicitly illegal to be part of certain minority groups, at which point it may be too late for people to leave. I don’t know if people around me understand that that’s not an exaggeration.

People just keep on going to Disneyland as if it’s perfectly safe. It’s like watching people go to a store that’s literally on fire and nobody is even trying to put it out. It’s like people think if the fire department isn’t reacting then it isn’t happening

and my grandmother thinks it’s funny to tell me canada is going to be the 51st state. Yes, so hilarious the fire might soon consume our house too

    I didn’t say I thought he would take over Canada. I said I’m annoyed that my grandmother thinks it’s funny to tell me he will and that I’m stressed by people willingly travelling to the states where I believe they could be in danger as non-americans visiting the states. Perhaps you’re confused that I care what happens to other people besides myself.

    I do think Canada needs to take the threat seriously

      your grandmother has a sense of humor.

      why are you so stressed about what other people are doing? are you traveling to america? no, how is it relevant than?

      What do you propose Canada do exactly? Ban all travel to the USA for the sake of a subgroup of citizens that may have difficulty doing so?

        I’m not suggesting the government do anything. I’m suggesting Canadians stop traveling to the Untied States. Many of whom have.

        Actually, I am suggesting the government prepare for the possibility of war

          I mean yeah that first point is fine. and totally true, they have and more power to them.

          your second however… do you realize that like the vermont national guard could take over your country? The canadian military is decades out of date in terms of equipment and training. I agree with you though that your government desperately needs to upgrade and increase it’s military spending, especially as it’s likely Russian will try to steal your arctic claims in the next 20-30 years.
