loveistheonlyway Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) I don't understand this, if Canadians and not only Canadians but the world hates Americans, why don't Canadians just sever ties with America? Sever trade, immigration, alliance, treaties, everything? It's like you have this spouse you hate but for some reason you haven't considered a divorce...... Also you keep claiming that they are collapsing, so isn't it time to end it so you won't get affected? And don't worry about your economy and whatever, there is still the Commonwealth which consists of some of the richest nations on Earth that can help you. It's true, there is this deep rooted anger and hatred for Americans by Canadians that I don't understand and no, I don't think it has anything to do with politics or trade wars or whatever current or past issues they have with each other. In fact Canadians would probably celebrate if America was gone. Seriously people, I want a serious answer to this. Not those arrogant, condescending, narcissistic responses but actual responses that makes sense.

That said perhaps Americans don't differentiate between themselves and their government and they are what they eat so to speak. Take it personally if you insist.

We have no moral obligation to do the impossible. We do our best. Second, military can only solve so much, it need a diplomatically lead effort/solution too. Which I'm proud to say America has always been a leader in. Edited June 24, 2018 by paxrom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
