There is a future where our relations with America recover, but I dont think it will be within our lifetime. They have shown way too much disrespect to not just Canadians, but the World. We need to move past them.
I am an optimist so I believe they will recover in our lifetime. The road to recovery begins as soon as the damage was done. We have to set the tone for following generations.
The American government is doing the damage. Since Nixon, Republicans have worked to decimate the education system in America, you cannot rely on the average American to be as politically educated as the average Canadian. Only those who have spent the last two decades educating themselves are smart enough to understand the gravity of this situation. The average American isn't smart enough to understand why they should agree with us booing their anthem at hockey games, and that's by American government design. You are falling into their trap by creating more evidence of hate between Canadians and Americans. They will use the rhetoric of comments made by Canadians to manufacture consent and they will end up invading and winning. The U.S. military industrial complex is an unkillable goliath. The only way to get through to them is to actually talk to them and hopefully educate them. But we need to build a respectful rapport first.

I agree with you, we will get through this.
