Your point about the Conservatives (esp. Pollident) having nothing 'conservative' about them is accurate. Indeed, they seem to epitomise the individualist liberal view that would effectively erase any meaningful differences between Canada and its now unfriendly neighbour.
I have always had a fascination with the relationship between Canada and the United States interesting. At the same time I find this article delusional. Canada is markedly more left wing, liberal, and post-national than the United States. Consequentially through immigration and low birth rate Canada is abolishing itself.
It is a national security threat to the United States to allow other nations to gain a foothold in North America. I expect and encourage splitting Canada into different states (not a part of America), and integrating with complete free trade agreements. I encourage the same with the UK, which is a country totally incapable of governing itself at this point.
It is clear that your understanding of Canada has been shaped entirely by the Liberal propaganda machine. The country that exists here is almost nothing like the one in your mind.
The United States is home to the most dangerous cities in the first world, a southern border which you people can't seem to protect, leading to a worse immigrant problem than we have, intense factionalism and partisanship, an incompetent ruling class, as well as civil unrest. It is America's decline that needs to be contained, not Canada's.
It is breathtakingly ignorant to lump all "Americans" together under *any* label, for it betrays a staggering ignorance of American history and of the various cultures that constitute the USA, the persistence of *all* of which can be seen clearly simply by looking at national-election maps.
If the things that you say about Canada were still true, I should move to Canada tomorrow, but they are not, so I shan't.
Beautifully written, though, for which you deserve sincere appreciation.
Note that I am not saying that all Americans are liberals or that all Canadians are conservatives. This couldn't be further from the truth. I am saying that America is a liberal country, i.e. founded upon the political ideology of liberalism, while Canada is founded upon conservatism. I think this is a defensible thesis.
To be fair I kind of view India as our biggest enemy given how they've been colonizing us and exporting their problems to us. But do understand your perspective. It is crucial we retain some difference du sud. We aren't Americans but Canadiens after all.
Very much so, which is why we must lift up the intellectual quality of our work in fiction, philosophy and other such fields, and I can only say that you’re philosophical contributions are already doing that X).
Excellent article.
P.S. Not all us Americans want to annex Canada or Greenland for that matter and this trade war is dumb.
P.P.S. We should take back the Panama Canal though.
Thank you.
Agreed, and agreed. My anger is with the Empire, not the Republic. I still think the world is better off with America as the de facto global hegemon.
Agreed, but maybe in an ideal world, America doesn’t have to be alone.

We need to deport the Indians. The Indians are what is ruining this country, first and foremost.

I appreciate the compliment at the very least.

We are fighting a war on many fronts, my friend.
