The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I don't think you realize - we're not the good guys to Canada any more.

You don't travel to Canada much. I do.
Even before there was ALWAYS an undercurrent of "big ugly southern neighbor" syndrome up there. It always manifests itself in Canadian elections and "The US is trying to take us over" is a popular trope in the Labour party.

Did Trump pour gasoline on it and fire a flare gun into it? Sure. But that doesn't change the fact that Canadian pols have used the US flag to smear each other over the years with the undertone of "Don't elect this guy or he'll make us into an American vassal".

For the next three plus years, we are going to be actively working to hurt their economy and to try to eliminate them as a sovereign country so that we can annex them into our own.

I've not noticed the line of tanks approaching the Peach Arch up in Blaine, WA. Maybe you'll let me know when they arrive.
