This article reminds of beginning of ukraine war when US press was showing white ppl and saying "we need to stand with them because they are like us".
- I-M-S 2y agoI am a dual-nation Canadian, with the other nationality held in much lower regard by the USA administration, meaning American conduct toward much of the world is not news to me. I believe a lot of resentment Canadians currently feel towards Americans boils down to being treated the way they treat any other undesirable country.

- apwell23 2y agomost ppl in canada ( and usa) don't know where Norway is or if such a country actually exists. why are you worried about someone who doesn't give a fuck about norway. Why can't Norwegians mind their own business why is this so offensive to them that americans don't want to be friends with norway. totally entitled . " how dare you don't want to be friends, we are white too"
- apwell23 2y ago> I believe a lot of resentment Canadians currently feel towards Americans boils down to being treated the way they treat any other undesirable country. yeah you nailed it perfectly. "how dare you deny us white status"

- apwell23 2y agoyea only one person ever "escaped".
