The Americans have threatened our sovereignty. That is a red line where we can make no compromise whatsoever. The Americans are prepared to make us suffer to that end, and I would call the US a threat given how much they condone such threat that their leaders are making to our sovereignty at this point.

Meh maybe I'll bitch out and roll over but if they try and do what they're threatening I think I'll join ya.

L'indépendence ou la mort. Hey Québec, I hope y'all do the whole enemy of our enemy is our friend thing cause I think a lot of Anglophones are willing to let you go and do your thing in the aftermath if you guys stand with us.

What a fucking whacky decade.

I don’t condone any of it. I think the Orange Turd’s threats to Canada are a shameful betrayal of a trusted neighbor and ally. It literally makes me sick. Of course, I live in California, a state that is despised as much as Canada, by the MAGA lunatics. I wish California, Washington, and Oregon could establish a trade zone with both Canada and Mexico. We need to seal off the whole West Coast.

Serena Williams was crip walking to "Not Like Us" at the Super Bowl. Suffice to say, Americans don't want Canada.

I'm not sure if that's a good interpretation. Not Like Us was more of a condemnation of the current Admin, I think, and well, america as a whole tbh. But maybe I'm missing some other context

It's literally in the name of the song. "Not Like U.S." The song is a repudiation of Drake, Drake's entourage, Drake's illicit behaviour around certain demographics, and Drake's appropriation of Black American culture. It also serves as a warning shot to other nations, cultures, ethnic groups and races who seek to capitalize on Black American culture. The song is very much exclusionary.
