I hope other first nations and communities send her more letters like this. If you want to be american so badly just move there and leave the rest of us out of it.

That's something I can't understand. Most of my family back in Alberta would vote to join US and have been saying it for years. Why don't they just move there? It's not hard

I think it's all a boo hoo victim mentality to avoid personal accountability. Those people's lives suck because they are dumb, not because of Ottawa, lol

They've been saying for years they would vote for Canada to be part of the USA? I had no idea this retardation predated orange Hitler. Tell them an American said they're dumb as hell for wanting to join them.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah I have been hearing about wanting to join US in the Red Deer area almost my entire life.

The same people say that Quebecers are traitors to Canada. You can't make that shit up because they do...

It's the "only moral abortion is my abortion" phenomena.

Very good observation.

There's been chinwagging forever... Except that unlike the Qubecois they lack the ability to actually get their shit together to organize for it. Instead all energy is spent attempting to implement a chisto-fascist takeover of all Canada to make everyone as dumb as they are.

It's way easier to live in Canada and get mad about anything you perceive as better in the US while reaping all the benefits of being Canadian. Blue state Republicans do the same.

This is the nucleus of the conservative mindset. This right here. This is the DNA, the required personality trait, the price of admission to the conservative club.

1000% correct, they would rather whine about Ottawa fucking them in some way then actually doing work to change their material outcomes. It comes from intellectual laziness if you ask me.
