This is what the radical far right wing of the US establishment is thinking about Canada. This has echoes of Project 2025 “when they tell you who they are, believe them”.

    It’s fascinating to me that a group of individuals in another country read some history novels and think they understand Canada and Canadians today - to the point they suggest actively interfering in the domestic politics and elections through intelligence operations and the like.

    They have cause and effect backward.

    Canadians generally view Americans as friends, long time allies, and we generally respect (and appreciate the differences between our countries (things like maternity leave, gun laws / safety, and public healthcare)… But, we don’t generally hold hard feelings against the Americans, especially the average individual - at least until they make overt threats against us, like in this article. It’s the Americans like the authors of this post causing the problem.

    Can we quit the aggressive stupidity, and move forward in a respectful way to build a prosperous future for all of us?
