We Are Done, Leave Us Alone… a Canadian Perspective
We Are Done, Leave Us Alone… a Canadian Perspective
It’s time for me to stand up and be counted. I really didn’t think it would come to this, but yesterday, the president of that once-great country to the south of us said yet again that Canada should become the United States’ 51st state.
I’m proud to be Canadian, and our country will NEVER allow this to happen. We are staunchly united and have been quietly and deliberately supporting our country on this important issue. We’re staying away in droves from crossing into this country to the south of us and are quietly selling our homes that we own there.
When shopping, the majority of Canadians have also been shunning American products. We’re reading our labels and buying from any other country except the United States. It hasn’t been easy, and we are doing without some of our favourites, but it is a means to an end. Most stores display bright red Canadian maple leafs on their food labeling pricing to help us distinguish this.
The Tariffs are debilitating and humiliating, hurting Americans and us as well. We will not be cowed into submission, and this makes us stronger. We’re watching in disbelief as the lies and the horror of what is actually happening to the south of us unfold in real time. This is not something we can do anything about.
Calling all American Military Elite from around the world to meet in Quantico, Virginia, supposedly for a pep talk, should be the final straw. This must have cost the Americans millions of dollars, put them all at risk for being an easy target, and could have been done using Zoom. China, Russia, and North Korea are all laughing at this, and we, along with the rest of the world, are just shaking our heads.
I’m sorry, but this shit-show really needs to end before we all end up dead! This isn’t just about the Americans; we are all at risk. Democracy and freedom are not something we should ever take for granted. Add nuclear weapons into the mix and we are now all vulnerable.
We also know the majority of Americans are disillusioned with what’s happening as well. Those that voted them into power are now wishing to take back that vote, but it’s too late. They can see what’s happening in real time, as can the rest of us. This is horrifying and is not going to end well if not stopped.
The solution to me, is simple enough, but maybe I’m wrong? The Republicans that are fed up with what is happening, and I’m sure there are many, need to renounce their party. I don’t think they need to become Democrats (but I could be wrong), but just become independents? They can then (along with the Democrats) impeach this incompetent leader and be done with it!
This is maybe too simple, but it could be a start to dismantling this time bomb of a situation. The American government is stripping away all the rights of everyone in their country, except white males. They are even wiping out history and stealing from the poor to make the rich even richer. OH MY GOD… this is happening in what WAS, the most respected and powerful country in the world.
I’m not sure of anything anymore. I always believed good wins over evil, but my trust is being severely tested. It’s not myself that I’m worried for, it’s my kids and my grandchildren. I’m old and my time is coming but they are still young and starting out. I’m sure they don’t realize the dangerous times we are living in, the freedom of youth makes them feel invincible.
We need the American people to stand up and be counted. Put an end to this insane bullshit happening every day, before it’s too late. We can’t help them, but please know we will never let them make us a part of their country. We’re struggling too; those tariffs are hurting all of us around the world and creating chaos as well.
I’m not a religious person but I do believe in a higher power, and I still have faith. My oldest granddaughter is expecting twins this November and I’m going to be a great nana. This could all go down as the best of times or the worst of times…
Who knew that freedom of speech could do all this damage? He is going to make everyone who speaks out against him regret it, one way or another. This is truly an oxymoron and may that higher power have mercy on our souls.
Thats all, I needed to write this and now it’s out there…
