    I am American and I would be happy for Canada to burn the fucking White House. I am sick of this fucking bullshit.

      Haven’t even hit French levels of protesting, why do Canadians have to come in and fix things?

        That’s honestly something that has been pissing me off. As Americans we need to stop just assuming someone will come and save us after we’ve literally pissed everyone else off. We did this to ourselves and we need to deal with ourselves. If we don’t show the effort to actually do something about it ourselves we really have no right to ask for help.

          Grocery store shelves are already getting bare. A lot of brands are no longer on shelves. Once an American is inconvenienced, then they care. It has to affect them personally and then comes the tantrum, recorded on TikToc.

        He’s refrencing the war of 1812 when Canada retaliated against the US stealing their land by burning down the White House.

          Twice. We burnt it to the ground twice.

          Yes I know, why is it our problem to go and fix their shit when they’ve barely put any effort in? Technically Canada didn’t exist as a country yet anyways and it was the UK.
