    Canada, and I will readily admit to us also being quite fucked up and getting worse. I’m disappointed in our behaviour, but at least we don’t go around acting like we’re hot shit. It’s not the US’s problems that piss me off, it’s their dogshit attitude about how great they are while sucking at almost everything they can’t just throw money at and then use to make even more money.

      Canada

      I’m genuinely sorry to hear that, not just because I actually know how far our right-wing shit has reached into your country, but because I am aware that we never had a better friend than Canada, and without Canada to the north and Mexico to the south the 20th century would not have been nearly as meteoric as it was: without Canada we would have FAR less to brag about. I hope you are aware of just how many of us are on your side, how many of us are the ones telling you to “keep it up” with the boycotts and yelling “Elbows up!” when we see or hear another way Canada has decided to resist, because we are not represented in the media.

      Canada has never been anything but the best friend my country ever had, from helping us in disaster to joining us in war, and you deserve far better than the neighbor from hell to the south. And while that does not make what you wrote correct or even anything less than arrogant and entirely dependent on stereotype, it does make me genuinely sorry, because we’ll never have a better friend on the national stage, and it will be a cold day in hell before Canada forgives us. Deservedly so.

      I wish you would have said that you were from France or Sweden or something it would have been a lot harder for me to find crap about your country because France and Sweden are better countries than America.

      But you’re from Canada…

      Throw money at it that’s absolutely beautiful Canada has some of the most predatory car loans probably in the world…

      I grew up in Detroit so I’ve been to Canada a lot. You having anything bad to say about America is the most clinical definition of the pot calling the kettle black I have ever seen.
