Bitter ex? This is amazing. The US is a completely broken country, and simply switching governments will not change that. Without a complete and utter change in how that entire country operates -- including dissolution -- no country should ever normalize relations with it again. The US is by far the world's most dangerous rogue nation. It is a terroristic nation. It is a bully. It not only elected a rapist self-dealing criminal imbecile to president, it elected him again, seeking a round two after the utter debacle the first term was, and the disastrous results are exactly what everyone could predict, but you know...this is who America is now. And a big reason Canada is moving on is that it's pretty clear that the US is a country in spectacular decline, and it is China's century now. Which is maybe why the US is electing disgusting garbage like Trump -- and he's certainly not alone, and there are various garbage "football coach" type creeps filling the entire US political class -- lamenting the position they once held, now going down the Russian/Putin path where they'll accelerate the crash just to reminisce about a past that mostly never existed. EDIT: I should add that agreements with the US are worthless, and this has been amply demonstrated. As Carney noted, the US' signature is written in pencil, and even agreements signed by this very president mean nothing, and will be dishonoured at the earliest convenience. In recent trade negotiations, where Canada almost made a horrible mistake of accepting ridiculous terms to maintain the status quo as much as possible (sidenote: Canada absolutely must withdraw from USMCA, a Trump-signed and negotiated agreement that the US is in utter defiance of), they asked "so when we sign this, you'll then honour it?", and the US side couldn't even commit to that. They knew that it could be days before the rapist toddler had a twitter tantrum after one of the kleptocrats whispered in his ear and imposed new barriers, tariffs, etc. Like, what is even the point of negotiating with such a farce? A lawless cabal led by just the absolute worst human trash.

And how does that make you feel?

  I don't know. How did writing the farcical nonsense about Canada being "down-levelled" make you feel? Must have felt like you're clutching onto a delusion? Don't worry, America still has the cartoonishly pathetic "Board of Peace" (though the Arab despots might not be as eager now that the US got completely humiliated by some isolated rogue theocracy), and your close allies Argentina and El Salvador.

    Don't forget North Korea and Russia.

  Somewhat sad, but also full of opportunities. For instance, in the EU a lot of things are set in motion that used to be taboo, like moving away from US tech, moving away from US weapons, stronger European military integration. Stronger ties with Canada, rebuilding ties with the UK.

Funny, as a Canadian I feel like Canada is a completely broken country and the US is sane by comparison. Grass is always greener, etc.

America is a lost cause with "disgusting garbage" in charge? In what ways is Xi a more fair, reasonable, citizen rights focused leader? I'm genuinely curious. I agree that Trump is a p.o.s with bad intentions, but pretending that there is some beautiful and perfect alternative on the other side of the planet is just hilarious.

  "but pretending that there is some beautiful and perfect alternative on the other side of the planet is just hilarious" If you have to construct a strawman to declare "hilarious", maybe just delete it in your drafts? There are zero "beautiful and perfect alternatives" on this planet. But right now China reveres science, medicine, training and education. The US has descended to being a fucking idiocracy where foolish clowns like Rogan and Charlie Kirk are the heroes of the people. Oh look, Sydney Sweeney showed her tits! Where a barking clown pedophile conman bag of shit gets elected to highest office -- his addled, simpleton brain stuck in the 1980s, so it's like listening to some sort of bizarre, incredibly stupid version of a time capsule. It is quite literally an idiocracy. Where your secretary of "war" is a drunken foolish idiot who only ever made captain, and thinks germs are fake and brags about never washing his hands. I mean, the entire administration, from Epstein Grifter Greaseball Lutnick to crybaby "we're the house" Bessent...just garbage from top to bottom. The absolute worst people. I'm Canadian, and I will say with 100%, utter certainty that Trump has asked your military for plans to takeover Canada. Because it is a lawless risk to humanity. China isn't a member of the International Criminal Court, but they have never impeded its work or attacked its existence, whereas the US -- as a warcriming menace -- is actively threatening it at this moment, largely to support their genocide/war crime master Israel. There is one country that has bombed 10 nations over the past 12 months. That has a deranged lunatic constantly tweeting threats of nuclear armageddon or "wiping out civilizations". A foolish cretin that is putting his name on everything and demolishing everything that won't let him. Even putting his disgusting face on currency, matching only a couple of despotic crapholes in putting a living leader on currency. There is one country that is committing wanton terrorism around the globe. I mean, we know China does some destabilizing things in Western countries, but it is nothing compared to what the US is doing, trying to export its garbage culture and idiocracy traits abroad. What a farce. And Americans are...fine with this. With becoming a worldwide joke. A dangerous menace joke, for sure, and I guarantee a lot of nuclear stockpiles, including among allies, have newly added targeting for US targets, rightly. And many more countries are going to emerge as nuclear powers. The US under this criminal garbage has taught a solid lesson that nuclear proliferation is where it's at, and everyone should get in on it. China, in contrast, does a lot of shitty things, but they are absolute rational saints compared to the farce that the US is now. Predictable, reasonable, rational. It's clear the paths these two countries are on. And the US is heading to Russia v2, where a pathetic has been endlessly tries to reclaim that glory while it circles the toilet.
