I’m so sorry Gurdeep and all our Canadian allies that our current administration has decided that this is the way to treat other countries, especially those who have stood by us for so long.
True! I was being optimistic with the 99.99% … but there are at least half of the population that hate what is going on. I believe it will be a higher percentage soon…
Shelley… he got in by lying, cheating, and stealing, of course… lying and cheating and stealing for so very long, it began long before many of us were born. Like people living in a filthy home, almost half the population has lost the ability to smell the stench… though it makes our neighbors gag. Some of us are sickened by it… and we are so sorry it is having such a negative global impact.
It's not a proud moment to be an American. This was a grave mistake that the people of the US will suffer from, we deserve it for not seeing what was coming. I am deeply sorry our bad decision will impact many of our friends from other countries but there are some of us working hard to stop every move this administration is taking and once enough bad things happen I think the country will come to it's senses and take our country back.
I don't understand how he got in???? Did he buy himself in???? How can evil win over good. He is evil. He uses Christianity and he will pay for it. It's a sin. But others will pay for it in the mean time. So very sad. Was always proud of being a border city girl Niagara Falls. Not any more. I wouldn't go to the USA at all anymore.
It was a combination of many people not doing their homework and believing his and mainstream media's lies or just not voting at all, combined with the richest men/companies in the world buying the president ie: Elon Musk.
Yes, he and Elon Musk did buy this election, lying and promising things they can't possibly deliver. It is devastating to many Americans and countless people will die because of his incompetence and evil. I live in Vermont and have always loved Canada. I would be so happy if we could become a Canadian province. I plan to buy Canadian products as much as possible, and will vacation there this summer if he doesn't close the border.
Simply adding my own words to what US folks have written here -- our country's collapse is a horror to us, and the mess has landed on you, our beloved and respected neighbor to the north. Thank you for remembering that there are many millions here who now are, much to our shock, suddenly silenced (and worse). Keep resilient and joyful -- you always have been -- and those of us that want our country back will do the best we can here, every day. Gurdeep, we'd appreciate a few extra joy-exercises just to give our spirits a tiny extra boost. Thank you.
To an objective outsider who, clearly, engages in critical thinking skills, it is hard to figure out how he got in. Sadly, that mindset of rational thought was lost on many here in the US. The fact-checking just hardened his followers' commitment to him, facts be damned. We lost track of all the lies as the years went on. Do some reading about the psychological dynamics of cults and you'll get a better understanding, I think, of how all of this has run amok. But in keeping with our host here on this thread, I want to say that for a lot of us, maintaining a positive attitude while our politics sort out is very important and I so appreciate some cheer from north of the border :-)
Thank you, Gurdeep, for your wise and thoughtful words and your positive outlook. As a terrified American, I appreciate you so so so so much ! Please know how sorry I am, many of Americans are for the chaos and stupidity of the current administration. May the Orange Menace and all his minions be brought to heel sooner rather than later!
WE would welcome anyone who disowned that man. As pro Trudeau I see his influence on our people who have jumped on the band wagon for the Orange Monster here in Canada. Trudeau is calm and young and handsome all the things he is not. Plus he knows his stuff. Do I think he brought in too many refugees, perhaps but he cares about everyone. It hurt us too.
I’m convinced the reason he hates Justin so much is because “that damn Justin is so handsome.” He knows how old and fat he looks in comparison. He hates even standing next to a man who is better looking than he is because he is the most childish and vain person on the planet.
I’m waving across the Haro Strait at you, Jody, from Sidney! You are always welcome here in Canada. We’ll get through this together. Wishing you a wonderful day!
Appreciate your positivity and insight! The only thing one can change is their reaction to a situation…you’re encouraging Canada to be proactive! Nice!
I totally agree with you. We will be fine. Might take awhile. Canada has so many resources and should learn to be more self sufficient. We should learn from other countries as to how they are more independent.
First step is to elect a leader that believes that we can be an independent country. Small businesses are closing and the average Canadian cannot afford a comfortable living. So fix that. Another step to being stronger and wiser is not to believe all you read/hear. The news outlets and social media will put a negative spin on things just to get people in a state of panic. You are an exception Gurdeep. You are wise and have a positive outlook on life. We need more of that. ❤️ But let’s focus on our own country first and do what we need to do to fix it because we are not in good shape at the moment.
It is time our allies—and, most especially, the Commonwealth—stand beside us as we fight this onslaught of Fascist aggression. We did not wait to be attacked and sit idly by in ‘39 — as the United States did; hell, no! We stood up and fought for Freedom. I know many in the US wish things were different, but right now—this moment in time—is when boycotts and refusals to trade must take precedence from around the world! Together we win; divided we fall. Let’s go!
Yes, Yes, and Yes again! The circus in the south is providing Canadian businesses and individuals with more opportunities than we likely ever dreamed of! As for me - and many of my family & friends, I'm making Canadian choices. I always have preferred to buy Canadian, but sometimes, well... Now, it's as close to 100% as possible. Also writing to our political leaders to do the same, providing incentives to businesses who find non-US sources for buying/selling. Cheers from - gasp! - snowy Vancouver! :)
I am so sorry friend, that any of this is happening. I - like many Americans - am horrified by the actions of the current administration. Not shocked unfortunately but horrified. I love you and all my Canadian friends, colleagues and fellow human beings. We will all get through this together but it’s sickening to watch the hateful, selfish, and destructive things that are happening at the hands of the current regime. I wish I had more to offer. But I am here in love, solidarity and hope.
Thank you, Gurdeep, for your wise words, and for all you offer. I add my apologies and sorrow to all those already posted. Less than 50% of those who voted voted for this. The rest of us are dismayed, terrified and horrified at the cruelty shown to the most vulnerable and the callous behavior to those nations to whom we are closest, and to those with whom we share significant bonds. There is so much more I want to say, but I'll leave it with a simple plea - please do not hate us, please hold us in whatever prayer you can offer, and know that many of us are seeking peace and hope.
Canada is made of tougher stuff than the diaper-in-chief and his ignorant base. They are always so quick to make enemies. Billionaire Tech bros think they hold all the cards, they need a reckoning also. We already know how it ends for tyrants. Not well.
It’s no longer a matter of if and when, but how long. Romania’s brutal Ceauşescu regime (so similar to the tacky Trumps) ruled almost 25 years until they met the firing squad. I would hope for a global resistance in this case.
I’m so sorry Gurdeep and all our Canadian allies that our current administration has decided that this is the way to treat other countries, especially those who have stood by us for so long.
I agree you should reduce your reliance on the US. We are completely undependable right now! I wish California was part of Canada!
I totally agree!
Love California and you know what I would even consider going in the the EU.
I'm in Maine, 30 miles from the border. Canada could easily absorb us.
Great idea!!! Canadians need a warm place to go in Winter that will take Canadian money at par.
Suggest our Prime Minister brings it up every time he is in front of the Camera.
99.9% of Americans hate what is happening right now. Stay strong, Canada! 🇨🇦
Then how did he get in ????????
True! I was being optimistic with the 99.99% … but there are at least half of the population that hate what is going on. I believe it will be a higher percentage soon…
Fewer than 1/2 even voted. 😞
Almost. I read recently roughly 31% went to republican candidate, 30% to democratic candidate, 36% did not vote. The loose percents went third party.
That's a vote for Trump!
Shelley… he got in by lying, cheating, and stealing, of course… lying and cheating and stealing for so very long, it began long before many of us were born. Like people living in a filthy home, almost half the population has lost the ability to smell the stench… though it makes our neighbors gag.

Check out r/somethingiswrong2024 on Redddit. The election was stolen. Shocking, I know lol.
His “buddy” controls the satellite transmissions and the much of the election machine software was not updated since the last election. Perfect storm
More like 49.9% of Americans hate what is happening, 50.1% of them voted for this :(((
Absolutely. Let's not be naive.
It's not a proud moment to be an American. This was a grave mistake that the people of the US will suffer from, we deserve it for not seeing what was coming. I am deeply sorry our bad decision will impact many of our friends from other countries but there are some of us working hard to stop every move this administration is taking and once enough bad things happen I think the country will come to it's senses and take our country back.

Yes, he bought himself in. And lied. And deceived. And harassed. And bullied. This American never voted for him and hopes he's out sooner than later.
Yes, he and Elon Musk did buy this election, lying and promising things they can't possibly deliver.

Thank you as a Canadian I am appalled but still cannot figure out how he got in. Fact check anything he says and its lies. More and more lies.
How devastatingly correct you are, Shelley.

AGREED! ❤️
This American is very upset with how things are going.
How did this man get in ??????
You cannot fault all Americans.
Oh yes, we can!
Thank you, Gurdeep, for your wise and thoughtful words and your positive outlook. As a terrified American, I appreciate you so so so so much ! Please know how sorry I am, many of Americans are for the chaos and stupidity of the current administration. May the Orange Menace and all his minions be brought to heel sooner rather than later!
Please could you just annex Washington state? We'd love to be part of BC!
California and Oregon too please!
Colorado as well?
Can we add New England please
And New England!
WE would welcome anyone who disowned that man. As pro Trudeau I see his influence on our people who have jumped on the band wagon for the Orange Monster here in Canada. Trudeau is calm and young and handsome all the things he is not. Plus he knows his stuff. Do I think he brought in too many refugees, perhaps but he cares about everyone. It hurt us too.

New York State is in too!
From Vancouver Island, we’d love to have you Jody! 😊✨💜
I'm just across the way in the Skagit. Have always felt more affinity with Canadians.
I’m waving across the Haro Strait at you, Jody, from Sidney! You are always welcome here in Canada. We’ll get through this together. Wishing you a wonderful day!
How about NH? We have both British and Francophone roots....
I am so happy I am a dual citizen....
Appreciate your positivity and insight! The only thing one can change is their reaction to a situation…you’re encouraging Canada to be proactive! Nice!
Spoken like a true Stoic. I see you!
