      Bold of you to assume Canada would accept them.

      38% of Californians voted for Trump in 2024. (34% in 2020, 31% in 2016). Canada doesn’t want those people.

      The USA has to fix its own problems. Don’t expect Canada (or anyone else) to come in and fix it for you.

        Honestly Canadians would vote for trump in about the same ratio. :(

          Conservatives got 33.74% of the vote last election. Now they’re in the awkward spot of trying to move away from being Maple-MAGA to being pro-Canada and it’s not going well for them.

            Yeah, you wouldn’t think it would be a gotcha question to ask a Tory whethwr they support Canada’s right to exist as a nation, but here we are.

        I was making a thing where I’m using Trump’s own words to showcase how dumb and out of touch he is. You shouldn’t take that statement too seriously.

        I’ve added a sarcasm marker to make it more clear.
