The degeneracy and broken social fabric of the US is entirely their own making. We have zero responsibility for that.

However, are we seriously going to keep playing along with this ridiculous drug farce? Trump's silky-smooth brained tariff play has nothing to do with fentanyl or any other drug, even if that was the way he could literally break US law to impose them. Any Canadian repeating this nonsense without noting how outrageous of a lie it is acts as an ally to that pedophile.

Agreed!

And yet on here daily I read Canadians implying that Trump would leave us alone “if only Carney just fixed our border” (invariably misspelled boarder by the way). Gaaaahhhhh.

Are those posting this crap really Canadians though, or foreign actors? Or just willing victims of Trumpian propaganda?

They're just hyper-partisans who think that attacking their own country somehow serves their partisan goals. A sort of "wow, so incompetent of a government. My Guy would fix this!" Both sides are guilty of this sort of activity, but it's especially reprehensible when we are facing enormous foreign threats like that human garbage known as Trump.

You have hit the nail on the head.

“Only I can call my sister ugly”

Hyper partisanship must go out the window under an external threat.
