MODERATORS
The problem is that there is a not-insignificant number of people that want the US to annex Canada.
In the US, about 15% of Trump voters would support annexation of Canada, even if Canada didn't want it. That's about 1 in 7.

The disturbing thing is that about 18% of Canadian Conservatives would support annexation. That's almost 1 in 5. Most of us know five Conservatives, so chances are you know someone who is essentially a traitor. I think Conservative supporters need to be aware that this is the company they keep.

This is just the reality of living in a free-thinking world.
Oh please fuck right off with this apologist bullshit.
I don't care what people think, and it wouldn't matter if I did, as long as they keep their treasonous sympathies in their own head.
The moment they voice it or act on it, then it becomes expression. And freedom of expression does not extend to treasonous or seditious speech or action, as it's defined in the criminal code.
And anyway, where freedom of expression applies, it only protects against government suppression or legal repercussions. It has nothing to say about me making their lives miserable and making sure everyone knows they're treasonous Yank sympathizers and just generally untrustworthy pieces of shit. And these people know that which is why they rarely make their views known publicly.
Well that, and they know that if they out themselves they'll be the first up against the wall if shit gets ugly.
I don’t think you’re being open minded enough. Sounds like your head needs some ventilation
Horrible thought that so much of the population is that fucking stupid
It isn't really that many. Conservative supporters have a high of about 40%, but not all of those will say they vote Conservative if asked (some change their vote from time to time and may describe themselves as undecided). But we will go with that as an upper limit. So 18% of 40% is about 7.2% of the population, so less than 1 in 11. That's still way too many, but a manageable number if it comes down to it.
