No I think trans people will be some our only refugees and welcome in my home if it comes to it. I think most Americans are wringing their hands, sitting on their guns and going on vacay. I know there are protests and some people on the street with no coverage But we are keeping our sovereignty
Nobody’s trying to take your sovereignty you fucking weirdo. You just need to understand that the majority of Americans are victims of this. You just said it, there’s people in the streets. There’s just no media coverage. So what do you know about it?
I feel I might have started some shit... Sorry guys.
Don't apologise, a lot of americans only know how to reply with shouting and brain worms.
Problem is this admin will not stop with trans people, I know for a fact we Jews will be targeted
Owl, most Americans are going to work every day and keeping our heads down. But we’re not gathering for dinner with friends, we are saving as much money as we can, making sure our passports are updated. Making sure our kids have cash in case they need to escape.
It looks like we’re going on about our day because the risks are real. Most families have elderly and children we’re trying to keep safe and healthy while we wait to see what else the people in power are going to do to us. Remember, the media is showing you imagery, not real people
I speak with real people in multiple cities.
And then you judge them for doing their best to survive in frankly terrifying conditions.
I understand & emphasize, it’s truly terrifying. America has been a bully around the world, where is this giant fighting back to save yourselves? Americans saying Canada’s borders & choices don’t matter & people will just move here, isn’t a solution Rude as saying we will be 51st state NO
You seem to not understand the distinction between the American people and the American state. The American people have not been bullies around the world. Our state has. The same state that is now bullying us.
And you seem to not understand what refugees are. Refugees are people who “just move there” when their home becomes dangerous. So which is it? Are you in favor of taking in refugees or not? You said you would welcome Americans in your home earlier, now you’re offended at the idea of us moving.
Canada has a strong reputation for taking refugees and we pay for them with our taxes so Stop attacking me, I support it Do you really think we can support even one American city of people? Do you know our infrastructure?Have you been to Canada? Canada is not the solution to America’s situation.
A government is the representative of it's people.
Were the Nazis the representative of the people they murdered in concentration camps?
The Nazis were a fascist dictatorship and not a democracy as the US has been until very recently.
Germany was a democracy as the Nazis took power. The Nazis used elections to secure power.
We are talking about the actions of the Democratic US being bullies around the world for many decades.
Of course I do, but the people chose their leaders The people have the power It’s people that need to stand up The world is waiting for you to stand up against this in the millions every day! Like begging Americans to move faster, the race is against P25, not moving into Canada
You don’t understand American politics if you think we chose this. The majority of United States citizens are against this. We face massive issues with voter suppression and gerrymandering. And your simple suggestion that we rise up in the millions means hundreds of thousands of us will die.
Yeah, we probably will eventually have to have a bloody revolution. Millions die when dictatorships are removed. But you say this like the only reason is that we’re lazy. Fuck you, frankly.
Your fucking prime minister is kowtowing to American fascism too. Your conservatives and fascists are working to gain power too. It’s going to come to you too and you won’t find it so funny then.
I’m sorry, I agree it probably will come to that. How do you think Canada’s small population and infrastructure is going to defend you Do you think we don’t discuss this & think about it? Should we build massive tent cities for you? Where would you live? What would you eat? Be realistic
You would rather we die in a concentration camp than Canada have to construct a refugee camp. Got it.
I didn’t say Canada has to take every fucking American but your attitude is just clear dude. Just stop pretending you care about refugees. It’s fine if you don’t think we can come. Just stop lying
Liddy we care and we ARE immigrants and refugees. That IS Canada. Being realistic and practical is not lying or being hateful. It’s honest and I think people should understand the reality of what Canadians can do. We just realized how much of our produce is American grown and by Mexican labour
Of course that isn’t what we want I get it you are angry and scared. So are we. Please spell out what you want and how exactly it is supposed to function
I want you to admit you don’t want to accept refugees and therefore don’t support them.
So when millions of you run across the border, they run after you across our border - they want our country anyway- how is this helping? The line has to be drawn in the US Liddy, we see, we understand What exactly are Canadians going to do that Americans can’t do for themselves? Our population?
Okay so you don’t support refugees. You can’t say stuff like this and also claim to support refugees
That’s okay. You just need to stop lying to yourself. “I only accept refugees if they are in tiny quantities and do things the way i want” is not accepting refugees. That is a right wing stance.
Just imagine if the US bordered a country with 10 times it's population and 2-3 times the population of your own country wanted to flee to yours as refugees.
You clearly haven’t been to Canada
No right wing stances are the same everywhere
What is the population of the USA? What is the population of Canada? Where does most of our produce come from? What cities do not have drastic housing shortages? What cities do not have terrible transportation? Seriously, do you want to freeze all winter in a massive tent refugee camp? Think 💭
Yes. I would rather be freezing in a refugee camp than being exterminated in a concentration camp. I told you Canada doesn’t need to take the entire population. But they need to take some, and they need to accept that they’re going to be the first port of entry for many.
The population of Canada is low. It’s one of the least densely populated countries on earth. I’d guess the majority of produce produced in Canada is from Alberta but a large portion is imported from USA. It’s going to be a hardship but the alternative is LETTING US DIE IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS
Of course we are going to take some! I said trans would probably be the first that I would happily house in my home. Are you now specifically asking for only for trans? 2 things can be true Canada is practical & focuses on truly persecuted for refugees Americans need to fight for their country
