Unfortunately I think that in reality Canadians have almost as much work to do on their own government as Americans have to do on ours before they can be considered anything but than one of the US's closest allies and supporters.

Get real. We pushed the limies back into the sea, and now? GTFO. I'm not celebrating reality, just recognizing it here.

If you wait it out there won't be a white house to burn, 1/3 of it is already gone.

Just fyi you might need to change a setting on your acct, it's showing you as a bot controlled account.

[-] bhamlin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Maybe they identify as a bot?

[-] avg@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Edit:or so I thought.

Yes quickly, before the pos levels it completely himself.

Do you want me to get on my knees and beg? I'll do it. What are you waiting for?

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 day ago

Technically it was the British that did it but hey whoever can get the job done.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I mean Canada is a British colony, no? Aren't they still under UK rule by some technicality?

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

Nope! We're part of a commonwealth (we have the same monarch as the UK, Australia, etc) but no other connection to the UK other than history.

Canada was not independent in 1814, though, so it would have been as a British colony.

The more you know 🌟

Canada patriated its constitution in the 1980s, the only 'thing still under UK rule' is that our monarch is automatically the monarch of the UK, but technically the monarchy of Canada is a separate title he holds.

Americans, please? Please? ~shit I got a $20 maybe we can gofundme this?~

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Its gotta come down anyways. The stench cannot be washed away. And all that guady tacky shit? Gross.

I say, once that fat fuck dies, we hold an auction for our former allies to see who gets to burn it down. Could be a peace offering or something?

(Relax, we'll rebuild the fucking thing, but with Big Bold Reminders that the next fascist PoS will be burned INSIDE the building)

Why wait for the next one? The best 'reminder' would be a practical demonstration.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 8 points 1 day ago

Well? We're waiting.

LOL not with Carney at the helm. He's practically selling them Canada wholesale.

[-] lastlybutfirstly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Um. The US got crazy in 1812 because the British were kidnapping our citizens. I don't know what you think that war was about.

[-] BlindPenguin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Multiple factors led to the US declaration of war on Great Britain that began the War of 1812:[26]

  • Trade restrictions introduced by the UK under the orders in council of 1807 to impede trade with France, with whom Britain was at war (the US contested the restrictions as illegal under contemporary international law).[27] The impressment (forced recruitment) of seamen on US vessels into the British Royal Navy (men who Britain claimed were British subjects).
  • British military support for American Indian tribes who were offering armed resistance against the US expansion of the American frontier in the Northwest Territory.
  • A possible desire by the US to annex some or all of Canada.[28]
  • US desire to uphold national honor in the face of what they considered to be British insults, such as the Chesapeake affair.[29]

Sure, there were also multiple factors that led to the American Civil War, but we rightly give people guff if they try to downplay the big one.
