Whatever he's on, I want some of that. Imagine living on your own warm fuzzy personal reality where you are smarter than anyone else and universally loved. Must be nice.

Hello USA.

Keep your grubby fucking paws off of our prescription drugs. We are not in the business of subsidizing your heath care at our expense & risk of shortages.

Fix your stupid system. Uber Capitalism has no place in health care.

Christ, we are fed up with this bullshit.

Nice talk.
Hugs 🇨🇦

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED?

Fucking idiot.

Why is Canada pissed off? Why boycotting US goods and not travelling?

It's deep, visceral, and complex. We gave so much to have an ally in the US.

It is clear now that it wasn't reciprocal.

That loss of trust & respect is catastrophic for a relationship.

Good luck "America". Try harder.

4/fin

I'm old, but my amazing kids have futures, and the US as a whole is screwing that up.

Fuck with me, fine. Fuck with my family, no quarter given.

Good news, my kids hold three citizenships. They are post grad / doctoral in sciences, and are mobile. I will do anything to protect them.

3/4

Well the Democrats aren't stupid, they are playing along. I have no faith that they respect us 🇨🇦 or will defend the relationship.

The Dem leadership are old & weak. The young blood give hope, but when? And will they respect the World and the great benefit the US has derived from its allies?

2/4

Short 🧵

Reflecting on the last 2 years. My view of the US has progressed from amused, to concerned, now horrified.

I now see the US as a threat to Canada, on a number of levels.

It's not just Donny. The Republicans are inept and/or insane, the oligarchs are terrifying and the Democrats...

1/4

Nobody could have predicted this.

Belgium MP Paul Magnette: “Not one of our soldiers, not one of our weapons, should go for Trump’s war in Iran. We must say no to Trump, like Spain did”

holy shit

There are always receipts.

So when JD and Donny say that they won't invade Canada, in the heat of failing aggressive CUSMA negotiations this summer, you can imagine how we 🇨🇦 will feel.

We are Donny's Ukraine. Alberta is his Donbass. Listen to their language now. It's truly chilling.

Featured in the film "the Family" which is a great watch.

The problem is that you clearly are a thinker.

A bunch of Republicans are clearly very shallow stupid people.

Expecting rational calculus, after what we've seen, feels like wishful thinking.

My bet, this needs to implode before it gets better.

In 2020 a pandemic killed 1.2 million Americans and MAGAs tore their hair out over minor inconveniences intended to keep the toll <5 million.

Now Trump is spending $900M/day to fight a war no one wants that'll kill the economy and not only is it silence from the pandemic whiners but they're STOKED.

This is important. The rest of us 🌎 no longer trust US voters. Not just Donny, the public.

We all saw Donny 2.0 coming. It was clear that he would be a disaster.

But I know smart people who voted for him 3 times.

So, we're done.
No trust.

It's not personal. It's a necessary defensive posture.

Americans can tolerate a genocide in Gaza, ICE killing and kidnapping people, Trump's racism and cruelty, but I do think high gas prices - in addition to all the other chaos - might be a bridge too far.

Yup. We watched Putin leading up to the Ukraine invasion. We're not going the same way.

Don't fuck with us. You won't like the outcome.

Understand that we 🇨🇦 see the US as a threat, increasingly a potential enemy. The degree of distrust is hard to overstate.

I am surprised that Garnett Genuis is smart enough to tie his shoes. This Trumpian dumbfuckitude is simply embarrassing to watch.

We have our own home grown MAGAts, cultists who support Alberta grievance and separation. Slow thinkers, these Conservatives. They need to be contained.

Well, hello there... 💘

I presume that this is a picture of him updating his will.

This bigly stupid war will not end well. Cuba next? What could go wrong?

US soft power / influence is now in the toilet.

Are you not amused?

And people wonder why Canadians are pissed off. Hint, it's not just the 51st state garbage.

And Big Oil have jacked their pump prices already because we need to be fleeced.

Donny broke it, you pay for it.

One giant clusterfuck because... Donny. If you voted for him, you should be hiding from your neighbours.

If the GOP doesn't get annihilated, then the US deserves what's coming.

Stupid impulsive Donny and his moronic acolytes have created an uncontrollable outcome that almost certainly will be worse than where they started.

Art of the deal, my ass. Donny and Bibi are terrorists setting a match to a bonfire they don't understand and can't control.

Thanks a bunch USA.

Donny did this because he's a pedophile and a rapist.

Don't forget to clean up after your facist dictators.

Gas is getting expensive here.

Meanwhile, it's raining oil in Tehran. Literally. Vaporized oil, spewed into the air, has cooled and has been raining as oil mixed with soot. Burning oil has run down gutters and storm drains. It's brutal.

All because Donny is a pedophile.

Who spiked Lady G's drinks? They are off their rocker here. Total collapse of rationality.

In this crazy time, I'm proud to be an atheist, scientist, physicist and to count as friends and colleagues so many rational intelligent people.

"we're marching thru the World"

OK. That's nice. Won't end well for you. Might take a while, but you will regret this.

Up here in Canada, we're not taking any of your bullshit, bullying, aggression, demands and ultimatums.

You idiots might focus on the myriad US domestic issues first. Good luck.
