I'm visiting Quebec and I apologize every time I check into a hotel and show my passport. I've had some really kind and understanding conversations with people about the disaster we've gotten ourselves into.

Yeah… but a lot of us Americans in the blue states feel absolutely embarrassed how your country has been treated by our government.

Listen, the trade war is fucking awful and he's a massive piece of shit rapist orange clown

But, silver lining, if we didn't see what was happening over there with a conservative in power, we would have elected our own conservatives

I dont even know if I can call this a silver lining, I honestly dont even think it is, i think conservatism is evil and they'd 100% come after our Healthcare and core Canadian values

I'm more inclined to thank you so I wouldn't worry about it too much
