The common internet meme is “Canadians have two modes. ‘Sorry’ and ‘You’ll be sorry.’” And the latter has been triggered. It’s a big world, tourism and travel is discretionary and people are pissed. There’s a goods boycott going on as well, with BABA as its acronym. This looks and feels like a significant shift in attitude, and it’s possible people here will realize there are reasonable and interesting alternatives.
And the US continues to pick at the scab, preventing it from healing.

And now he's gone manic and has shown up at your doorstep at 2 am with a knife demanding the money he is convinced you owe him. Even if he gets better it won't be the same relationship again.
- PaulKeeble 1y agoThis never goes back together, not with Canada nor any of the NATO countries. The shift that is happening internationally to move away from the USA will be mean the future relationship will be changed for at least decades. Everyone is working out how to put things together without the USA involved at all.
