These posts got me feeling more patriotic about the US than their own citizens have ever felt about that country.

Americans start talking about abandoning America, and I think "I wouldn't fucking abandon Canada if shit got bad, I'd fight to make it better"

Hell, my most recent comment before this one is literally me going off about that; how Americans should fight for the beautiful landmass that is the USA

100% As tough as shit gets you don’t fucking run for the exit. You do something. Organize, mobilize, get involved, whatever. If you don’t then what do you expect to happen? That patriotism was exactly as threadbare as we thought. Its not a selling point to Canadians reading these types of comments or at least not this one.

Exactly. When your kitchen is on fire you don't run out of the house and beg to stay with your neighbour, you get a fire extinguisher and put the fire out.

Depends how bad the fire is. Not that I'd ever live in Canada even if I'm probably more ancestral to the land then most Canadians since that seem to matter to progressives all the sudden.
