Trump says he will annex Canada.

Here in Canada the media is clutching its pearls doing 'man on the street' interviews filtering out all but the "I LOVE Canada' crowd. Funnily enough when I talk to Canadians about it I get a huge 'meh'. Most just don't care one way or another. Yes there are those who are very strong anti American merger but they are pretty much balanced out by the very strong pro American merger. Strange how Trudeau has completely destroyed the cohesiveness of Canada.

@BritishFailedAesthetic As I said before on another post. I am completely ambivalent. I suppose I am a bit different insofar as I am a dual citizen with a lot of family in the US but on the other hand I detest the American war mongers just as much as I despise the British war mongers. I hate war.

@hippyjoe1955 I think we're past our war mongering stage.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Have you been following the war in Ukraine?

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

@hippyjoe1955 Yeah, I know you cheer on war mongering Russia.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Russia is the good guy in that conflict. I realized that when I was talking to a girl from Eastern Ukraine years before the war started. She told me about Ukraine shelling Ukrainians who spoke Russian at home. Russia was asked to stop the Ukrainians from killing innocent Ukrainians. Russia came up with two accords that would have done that. The US and UK refused and encouraged Ukraine to go to war. America is fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian. The UK is fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian.

@BritishFailedAesthetic I am so glad I don't share your ignorance. How many Ukrainians have you spoken to in the last week?

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

@hippyjoe1955 Not as many draft dodgers or Pro Russian Ukrainians as you have, clearly.

@hippyjoe1955 They're not. But they're clearly Pro Russian.

@BritishFailedAesthetic No actually the young woman with two kids is very anti Russian. So you are wrong again. The Grandmother I spoke about is Russian. She married a Ukrainian fellow and moved to Odessa before he died. She then moved in with her daughter in Kiev before the fled to Poland then to Canada with the daughters three kids.

@hippyjoe1955 Well, I wouldn't tell the young woman about your Putin boot kissing then.

@BritishFailedAesthetic You can if you want. I won't mind and neither will she. She is in Canada for a reason. It is not just about Russia. BTW I spent last evening in a Bible study with a Russian. We didn't discuss the war in Ukraine. Another friend of mine is from Russia. He left it during the terrible times of the USSR. He is a doctor and was sent abroad as a medical ambassador of the Soviet Union. While in Africa he met some Mennonites from Canada doing missionary work. Since the Mennonites could speak German and He could speak German they became friends. One day he became a Christian and realised that he could never go back to his native land. The Mennonites worked hard and got him legally into Canada. Canada is a much richer place for both the Russians and Ukrainians coming here where they can live in peace.
