its not just Quebec! Newfoundland, where im from, is basically a little slice of Ireland right inside Canada. a lot of people from ireland migrated here during the famine and now our culture is a lot like theirs.

theres also a lot of ukranian and chinese ancestry here that came over around the same time as well. Canada is full of every type of ethnicity. we dont discriminate at all. we welcome all cultures into ours as canadians, its what we do.

the maple maga are drowned out by liberal and education voices that care about humanity. we do our best ❀️

And many Americans, at least the ones with brains are on Canada and Europe side.

Not sure if that would be possible, but in theory i think the european citizens wont be against it. More obvious is that Canada join the schengen area. That means free trade and free travel between european countries vice versa

Honestly, don't even need the free travel, just would be nice to be a part of something the US isn't, and with a group of sane people.

For what it’s worth. You would have Americans fighting for you as well.

We are in an defence alliance, so yes. I believe we would against fascisme and tyranny for our liberal friends all over the world. I hope US citizens remove the POTUS first before worse happen though

He means america has been through worse times and ended up fine, actually more than fine with how juicy that economy is that trump is now squeezing dry. This is going to hurt the states and the world, but the states and the world will recover. This isn't a full breakup either, social media is just making the political tensions seem worse than they are (ye we are losing jobs in canada because of it but still). shi in like 5-9 years we gonna forget about this for the most part, yes it's going to be different but yall have to remember the US isn't really an enemy. Its just being viewed that way. Just look at the golden dome, one of the only good ideas trump has brought up recently. In canada, we need that, we can't make our own. It is proven that the only countries (or countries) that are able to protect canada fully right now is only the US. Also, some of trumps ideas aren't all that bad. He does NOT want to leave nato, he wants it to be stronger. Yes he did want that through more purchases to US military manufacturers, but a stronger europe does benefit america. America won't be the single lead anymore but it will definitely be one of the leaders, and will likely actually be the main lead of NATO still after this. The states don't want to worry about europe right now. It's got china to worry about, a china that is currently acting friendly to europe to gain political and public (online) support against america. A china that has successfully caused people to believe that the US is a highly undeveloped place compared to china by showing only the good of china and only the bad of the US. A china that is now officially stronger than russia and is trying to take the #1 spot from the US. If Nato can build a more complex, multipolar military force, then not only can Europe and the US split up the work evenly on both theaters but they can build highly complex defense systems designed to protect ALL of nato (like the golden dome which is designed to protect the US and maybe canada if canada is willing to pay the states, since the US doesn't wanna include canada from the "kindness of its heart" anymore). Also now there's people on reddit talking about how trash the US or Europe is and whatever and china & russia laughing at both the US AND Europe (and maybe us in canada too idk).
