Canada be like, "WTF just happened ? " Canada be like? Are you fucking trying to imitate ghetto speak, you sad old man? Canada has always been perfectly content to be a well-run, orderly country without shootouts in the streets. We have never aspired to be a world wide target for terrorism or to change the world to suit our corporations. Because none of that was seen as benefiting our people. It's really kinda hard to see how it benefits yours either.

Your country is only 'great' because of the weather. Puff out your chest and get a big boner over that one if that's all ya got. OK....but even the boner would be bigger. Mexico has much warmer weather, but has not enjoyed the same success. Hell, much of the U.S. southwest (including) California was once part of Mexico (this is a big hint why Canada has lagged behind). So there has to be more to it than just "weather". Economics trumps Virtue.

How many times do I have to read that "Trump is a <fill in the blank>" ? Trump is an asshole. And as long as the topic is related to the US that's fine. Bringing it up in unrelated subjects, which I'll grant you, occasionally happens, pisses me off too.
