I’ve opened Lemmy today to lots of anti Canadian sentiment on any recent comments about how messed up 'murica is and it’s constant attacks on Canadian sovereignty.

Don’t get sucked in. Let them yell into a void. The online campaign has begun in earnest on Lemmy and it’s time to point it out and recognise it for what it is.

These are not real people. They are actors trying to affect our decisions as always happens when American exceptionalism is challenged. Our government had the balls to stand up and say no. We have the balls to do the same. They do not like it and will attack you for it.

Don’t fall for the bait.

    As someone who lives in America, I would like to say, please keep it up my Canadian friends! The more the rest of the world buys and builds their own, the more you undermine Lil Donnie’s Fascist Clown Show, and create better options for everyone in the long-term.

    Breaking U.S. tech dominance is one of the best ways to put some equality back in the world.

      As a Canadian, I’m worried that this stoking of anti-Canadian sentiment among the right wing in the US is a pretext to an invasion to try to make good on the “51st state” promise.

        Entirely possible. We’ve seen it before with other countries and now it’s been turned on us. We never should have been so close with the US. Now it’s time to disentangle.

          Honestly, best thing you can do is highlight the number of progressive/non-conservative voters you have. Oh, and make sure to mention that all your oil is halaal or something. Maybe also provide a financial incentive for the Canadians who love the new American fash so much to move here. USA is already fucked, but you might be able to toss some of your trash in the dumpster fire. It’s a win-win really.

      As a fellow American, I have nothing but love for our Canadian neighbors!

      Whatever happens the next few years, I can only hope we get the opportunity to have an election and vote some adults back in, and start repairing relationships. Yes, I threw up a little with that. 😒.
