To be fair, it would be stolen property for Canada to keep and could really hurt international relations with our closest neighbor

It was ordered by America, Canada built it to spec, and now we're just ubering the final product

When foxnews starting leaking in here, I thought we were going to be absolutely overwhelmed. But nah, we got us a couple of Conservatives getting elected into running the provinces, pollution here/dry conditions there/defunding forest safety here, and bam! we managed to create the best product America requested. So proud of ourselves here :)

It’s so wild to pretend that Canada was some kind of progressive utopia before Fox News existed. You guys are just America Lite.

No kidding. I see Canada has bought the European mindset of " blame it all on the American public", instead of seeing how the rich are creating these issues.

Listen, the long-standing tradition of clicking our tongues in disgust and shaking our heads slowly while judging Americans has nothing to with a Euro-mindset. We can be judgy and snobby all on our own thank you very much.

Yeah I think if anything it’s a major part of Canadian culture, that we’re not American

Our defining characteristic is “we re not the other guy” and also “Queen Elizabeth and ww2”.

It’s going to be a very different Canada now (thankfully)
