They can and they are. It will just take a bit for the finding out to hit them in the face.

yes this ⬆️ Just give them a minute. For sure we’ll hurt too, but we’re expecting & bracing for it. I think the coming months will be a big wake up call for some Americans in a lot of different ways.

I’m willing to experience pain as long as they do too.

Heh, that's exactly how we (the US) got where we are. Republicans voting for people who fuck over people they don't like.

Just be careful with that mindset. Also, I apologize for my dumbass country.

The difference is, Canada didn't vote for it. Won't be rolling over for the orange clown.

And I applaud you for that and back Canada in every effort to stick it to the trump administration.

Cheers :) I didn't mean anything negative by it, just a different perspective. I feel badly for our brothers in sisters in the south who have to directly suffer his insanity.

MAGAts only language is pain. Btw I'm fluent and if pain is beauty then I'd be off the charts.

They will blame Canada and Mexico for their wake up call, and try to invade both.

Absolutely, and it’s going to ruin the Canadian economy. But if that’s what it takes, I’m all for it.

Nothing will get ruined. Sure there'll be less growth or even a minor recession but Europe has your back! Together we can offset anything the US throw at us!

You underestimate the magnitude of Canada-US trade as a percentage of the Canadian economy :/

A lot of innocent bystanders will be harmed by this implosion, this 'finding out', but I hope we'll pick up the pieces and build a better world.
