It’s so weird seeing American folks worried about the drop in Canadian tourism and saying it’s due to Canadians having “hard feelings” and wondering why we can’t just put them aside.

It’s gaslighting and yet another reason not to go. Yeesh.
@lifewithtrees Canada is taking this threat seriously, as well it should. The US already did a regime change in Venezuela and is pressing Cuba really hard right now. Its militarily and financial backed a drastic shift in power in the middle east with Israel as a proxy. When push comes to shove, the US has the technical capacity to bust up a lot of shit and probably decapitate governments. Whether it has the appetite and ability to consolidate conquests is another thing entirely.

@lifewithtrees 100%.
I keep wondering what the US response would be if the shoe was on the other foot - Absolute f*cking hissy fits and then some
which would be "justified" and "appropriate," of course. -

@lifewithtrees As an American I know exactly what it's about, don't blame Canadians in the slightest, and support every anti American boycott and economic retaliation. Sorry we're bad neighbors now. Stay out for your own safety.

@lifewithtrees @robyn Personally I don't blame anyone for not wanting to come here. I've been thinking about leaving. (Not that it would ever be within my means to actually do it, especially now that our dear leader has fixed the economy up so nicely.)

@lifewithtrees "Hard feelings" lmao, f*ck off.
Wishing the US economy a merry eat shit and die.

Also if you are an American reading this, I’ll be clear: it’s not hard feelings.
It’s the threats of annexation
It’s the support of separatists
It’s the demanding access to all social media
It’s the killing of citizens and non citizens
It’s the concentration camps
It’s the support that the above has by Americans who are totally cool with what’s happening.Yeah 25% off at a ski hill in Maine doesn’t deal with ANY of that.
@lifewithtrees but the DOW is over 50,000

@lifewithtrees I mean, I'm American and wouldn't feel entirely safe flying back there under the current regime, so it makes perfect sense to me that people who aren't US citizens would feel unsafe visiting the US.

@lifewithtrees American here, and I disagree. "Gaslighting" means it's intentional. I think you're overestimating the intelligence and self-awareness of my fellow countrycreatures. American exceptionalism is the product of a pathological lack of self-knowledge.

@lifewithtrees I'm on the other side of the Pacific and I feel this in my bones. The fact Americans don't... well, it's a worry

@lifewithtrees It's all that for most of us on the inside, too.

@lifewithtrees Those same Americans had a fit when France wouldn’t go to war with Iraq. To the degree that they renamed French fries “freedom fries” and other assorted nonsense.
MAGAts need to feel the economic hardship of Republicans turning the US into a pariah state.
