Northern Brit here: we have to have each other's backs. The only way we're getting off Mr Bones' Wild Ride is together ❤️ we can do this.

Resist. Rebel. Revolt. ✊

Hell, a lot of Americans still have your ~~banks~~ backs.

Hey, Canada! Have you considered EU membership?

Hey EU, we'll upvote your countries if you upvote Canada. Interested in equal trade?

Most Americans have your back too...it's just our messed up voting and education systems that let the lunatic fringe gain all the power. For a representative democracy, it really doesn't represent the people.

FWIW, most people in blue states would probably have your backs too. The province most at risk would probably be Alberta, which... is Alberta

From the UK and personally, 100% yes but not sure I feel the rest of the population would agree. I mean, a lot of us turned our backs on the EU and there's a lot of cross over with US right wing nutters.

However, I would believe that when push comes to shove, we would be generally willing to defend Canada, Australia and NZ over anyone else, and then European countries at the next level. The reaction in support for Ukraine was pretty universal here and there are still lots of donations and support that is not shared with any African, Asian or Central/South American countries having similar problems.

Basically, you're white so yes you can count on us!

France here, our mainstream media is currently either billionaire-owned and pushing Trump and Musk admiration or publicly owned but influenced by our current government (Macron and co.) which does everything possible to cosy up to billionaires so they haven't yet (and probably never will) called Trump a fascist or Musk a neo-nazi.

You came and died in France during two world wars in the 20th century but I'm afraid France as a nation isn't gonna have your back in this timeline - except if we manage to elect a real-left government next time.

Good luck!

Yeah sure but the government wants to access your encrypted data first by installing a back end into your iCloud data.

yes i am the president of those countries im glad you asked

France here, oui bien sûr!

Australia too, we got ya..

If it ever comes to it you can count on me. Sorry we put you guys in this position.

Uk here, for sure.

What does it really mean to have each-other's backs?

I think one thing would be making some agreements in advance when it comes to refugees. Make it easier for Canadians to escape to the EU if the US does something stupid, and make it easier for Europeans to move to Canada if Russia does something crazy.

Other than that, I don't know what immediate steps could really be done. I'd love it if Canada would adopt some of the European privacy regulations, ditching the American-style laws currently in effect. But, a lot of things wouldn't be easy to change. Our cars, appliances, construction techniques, electricity voltages, plug designs, etc. are all very American-style, and those kinds of things have a lot of momentum.

But, I don't really see a downside to making the movement of people a little easier. I think plenty of Canadians would love to live and work in Europe. I think a fair number of Europeans would love to live and work in Canada -- at least once Canada finally adopts proper vacation lengths, parental leave laws, etc.

I’m an American who lives in the UK and I’ll go to war for you guys before I ever go for the US military.

Sure we will help you refound the FLQ
