CANADA KNOWS WHO OUR FRIENDS ARE
“J.D. Vance says he is tired of Canada's "sob story" about being good allies of USA.
If there is one thing to know about #Canada, we don't do "sob stories" when considering the price paid for democracy or freedom. It's not in our DNA.
We do what needs to be done. We do it without the flag-waving or the chest-thumping.
And then we get on with our lives.”

@AnnaAnthro I hope you are right and that Canada does NOT cave in to Trump's bullying like people in the US have...
@ManyRoads @AnnaAnthro all we have to do is make sure we don't get a US-friendly puppet government who sells us out to make a quick buck, and instead improve our relationships with other markets, and don't forget to improve things for ourselves within Canada, by creating more opportunities and providing more and better services to Canadians.
We can be friendly with the US when they reciprocate it, but certainly not when they squeeze or try to kill us.
@caitp @ManyRoads @AnnaAnthro The Olsen (not a typo) part of my family is Canadian. Vance is nothing. Trump picked him because he is nothing
@volcano @ManyRoads @AnnaAnthro he might be unappealing, unprincipled, a groveling sack of shit. but that makes him useful to people who want to do unpopular things to enrich themselves
@caitp @volcano @ManyRoads @AnnaAnthro he is Mr. C in Dorothy Thompson’s excellent piece, “Who Goes Nazi.” https://harpers.org/archive/1941/08/who-goes-nazi/
@AnnaAnthro People like Vance only understand aggressive denunciations. Try to talk nicely to them and they call it "whining" or a "sob story." This further reduces the chance of communication between people of different views.
@AnnaAnthro British descends colonizers
@AnnaAnthro had me choked up around the "After a time, they heard a sound they had never heard before." part.
@AnnaAnthro #JDVance is a demonstration of how far you can get in American politics by simply being a professional asshole.
@AnnaAnthro I would also add that the Canadian organized an airlift to drop food to civilians by agreeing to let the Germans flee. This saved thousands of lives and was done over the objections of the Brits and usa.
@AnnaAnthro The Marine who caved for an Orange Man who is cruel and vicious says WHAT against our northern neighbors?
@AnnaAnthro
JD Vance is an idiot like all the rest of MAGA.
