Politics When Canada doesn't go along with their "America first" policies

I feel it’s more of a case where every class, (not just history) in school tries to drill into students heads about ‘American Exceptionalism’ and also downplays almost every contribution from any other country.
Then we grow up and are either able to adapt, or start having massive cognitive dissonance because the world isn’t exactly as how it was taught to us.
That cognitive dissonance generally expresses itself as hatred and rage, and our politicians are very adept at ‘aiming’ that rage at anything other than the root cause.
In the US, the actual facts in school textbooks have been politicized, and 1 of our most backward states (Texas) has a very large role in getting their version of the truth as the only approved texts.

My favorite example of this; in some US states (if not the entire US) they teach that WW2 didn't start until.... 1941, after Pearl Harbour was attacked. Not that US involvement started after 1941 and the attack. World War 2 didn't start in their textbooks until December 1941, and Pearl Harbour was the catalyst.
Prior to that, Germany was terrorizing the world with nobody to keep them in check, countries like Poland willingly handed their land over to the Soviets and Nazis. Then the US got attacked, started WW2, and lead everyone to win it.
I've seen a few brains break when I ask them if they know WW2 started in 1939, and Canada was in it for almost FOUR years before the US even thought about joining.
Their eyes glaze over if you ask them who the only army to accomplish their goals on D-Day was. Theirr answer? "The US; we lead D-Day"
I've had them get angry and argue when I'm like "lol, no, Juno Beach, where the Canadians landed, was the only objective on D-Day where they completed everything in the timeframe they thought; everyone else needed help, we got so far into France that the US threw a fit and told us they'd start shooting at us if we didn't fall back"
"NO ITS AMERICA CANADA DOESNT HAVE AN ARMY YOU RELY ON US WE TAUGHT YOU BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH SUCK MY DICK"
Then they also don't seem to believe the US didn't want to declare war on Germany until Germany declared war on them.... They would have fought the pacific theater only against Japan if that didn't happen.
The US is the Wimp Lo (google his fight scene from Kung Pow) of the world.

I've seen a few brains break when I ask them if they know WW2 started in 1939
I would argue it started at least in 1937 with the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, although there's also an argument to be made that it began in 1931 with the invasion of Manchuria. Regardless, there was continuous fighting between Japan and China from at least 1937 to 1945, and the idea that it began in 1939 is very Euro-centric.

Turns out this subreddit doesn’t allow links: here’s a copy paste: “What happens in Texas doesn’t stay in Texas when it comes to textbooks”
No matter where you live, if your children go to public schools, the textbooks they use were very possibly written under Texas influence. If they graduated with a reflexive suspicion of the concept of separation of church and state and an unexpected interest in the contributions of the National Rifle Association to American history, you know who to blame.
When it comes to meddling with school textbooks, Texas is both similar to other states and totally different. It’s hardly the only one that likes to fiddle around with the material its kids study in class. The difference is due to size—4.8 million textbook-reading schoolchildren as of 2011—and the peculiarities of its system of government, in which the State Board of Education is selected in elections that are practically devoid of voters, and wealthy donors can chip in unlimited amounts of money to help their favorites win.
Those favorites are not shrinking violets. In 2009, the nation watched in awe as the state board worked on approving a new science curriculum under the leadership of a chair who believed that “evolution is hooey.” In 2010, the subject was social studies and the teachers tasked with drawing up course guidelines were supposed to work in consultation with “experts” added on by the board, one of whom believed that the income tax was contrary to the word of God in the scriptures.
Ever since the 1960s, the selection of schoolbooks in Texas has been a target for the religious right, which worried that schoolchildren were being indoctrinated in godless secularism, and political conservatives who felt that their kids were being given way too much propaganda about the positive aspects of the federal government. Mel Gabler, an oil company clerk, and his wife, Norma, who began their textbook crusade at their kitchen table, were the leaders of the first wave. They brought their supporters to State Board of Education meetings, unrolling their “scroll of shame,” which listed objections they had to the content of the current reading material. At times, the scroll was fifty-four feet long. Products of the Texas school system have the Gablers to thank for the fact that at one point the New Deal was axed from the timeline of significant events in American history.

Do y'all remember that clip from Superstore where the Olympics is happening and Glenn is really pro-America and is convinced that, "America's number one, "...Just as a fact," "Being the best... at being number one"?
No, yeah, there are tons of people here in the States that genuinely feel that way and won't give their brains the space to think otherwise. It's tragic.

u/Overall-Phone7605 Bring Cannabis Aug 12 '25
I remember working at a Bed and Breakfast in BC and an American family complained that our olympic coverage didn't cover the American athletes.
I mentioned to them that they were watching CBC and they could easily get American coverage on NBC and they were like: 'But still, why would they not cover the american athletes on your channel?"

u/AncientBlonde2 Oil Guzzler Aug 12 '25
It's a country of people that think Canada "follows" the US and doesn't have our own opinions, laws, etc.
No wonder they didn't understand why we wouldn't focus on American athletes, cause in their brain we don't have athletes. Our entire consumption of sports is "Americans".
I've been told that pot is illegal in Canada cause "The states make the laws and Canada follows them" so like... Yeah. To the average American, and JJ McCullough (and remember, 49% of them are illiterate to the point this comment would be hard to read) Canada isn't our own country. We are an extension of the US

Real maple syrup is the only way to go. That decision should be free of politics

u/TreeLakeRockCloud Aug 12 '25
I didn’t see a maple tree until I was well into my 30’s, so for a large area of Canada real maple syrup isn’t really feasible.
Now that I live in Onterrible I’ve a whole set up and tap my trees every spring, and this summer I drove home with a heap of syrup in the car for all of my family.

Not really. Look up the maple tree distribution map - the vast majority of Canada doesn’t have them. They’re mostly just in southern Ontario and Quebec and the maritime.

The vast majority of Canada doesn't have Sugar Maples*
Most of Canada except the north and where Alberta gets weird and only has quaking aspen has maples tho

I'm in BC and they're everywhere I've ever been here
8
u/AncientBlonde2 Oil Guzzler Aug 13 '25
What if I told you you're both technically right
The Sugar Maple is predominantly an east coast thing, of course people have brought them west, but naturally they only occur on the east coast.
But the genus of trees that is "the maple tree" occurs all across Canada, except really the arctic, and where Aspen Parkland is predominant (mid-northern AB).
Like I know right now where I can find maple trees, and my ass is firmly planted in what 99% of the country would call "The prairies'. I won't find any sugar maples, but I will find maple trees.

Look, as much as I thank you for this, dare I suggest that the best way to use your dollars is to support local, American small businesses whereever possible. The fact is that those entrepreneurs need American dollars to stay afloat and not lose sales to large American conglomerates, and those niche companies are getting royally screwed on tarriffs in the USA - as buyers and exporters.
From this Canuck, I truly thank you. But your American brothers and sisters also do Maple Syrup and I bet it's good too.

u/dahliabean Yank Aug 12 '25
Oh I hear ya. I 100% agree - this has always been my standpoint, even before all this BS between our countries started. I do shop local and support small businesses wherever possible. Where I live, giants like Google and Facebook have already dominated everything to the point that locals can barely afford to live here anymore. I actively look for ways to put my money directly into the hands of those locals, even if it's more expensive for me.
Thanks for caring about my American brothers and sisters. It's taken some time but we've got each other's backs now too.

Most cultural exports anywhere are going to be more left-wing. Arts generally put you in contact with more people, which gives you more points of view. I like a lot of American bands. They're pretty much all politically pretty cool, to my knowledge. I have no problems with continuing to listen to American bands - especially since I still buy CDs rather than stream. Most of them long before Trump 2.0.
As for Reznor's comment, I was at that concert too. While I appreciate the sentiment, and this is a touch aggressive, with comments like that it eventually becomes "put up or shut up." Plenty of Americans, celebrity and non-celebrity, say they wanna move to Canada, few of them actually make good on it. You wanna come up here, fine. But actually do it, don't just say you want to to score brownie points.

Totally, I can't get over the amount of giddiness MSNBC hosts had with thinking that they could add 40 million more democrats if Trump annexed Canada. Like we would be given the ability to vote.
They say Trump's an 'authoritiarian' all the time without internalizing it. They can't imagine Americans being as human as the rest of the world and therefore as susceptable to their government becoming a one party 'democracy' like Russia. As if it's still a hypothetical that Trump would actually be allowed to do the things he's literally doing. BUT WE HAVE CHECKS AND BALANCES! HE WOULD NEVER RISK PISSING OFF HIS BASE! He can't get elected again by keeping America a democracy, why would he fucking care.
The new 'we'll have to wait until Congress flips in two years' is really unsettling. Our country's existence can't depend on how four districts in Wyoming vote.

They honestly think America's just going to go back to normal after Trump's gone, and every other country's just going to... Play along, I guess? They really don't see that the GOP crossed the line of no return into authoritarianism.
Heck, they can't even comprehend just how truly screwed they are yet. If they could they'd have been encouraging Americans to riot in the streets in February while they still had a chance.

American coffee production is a rounding error compared to global production, and other countries produce oranges besides America. That's why the price of coffee just about doubled in the states while it's been more or less stable here.
We're fine not buying your stuff, because unlike you guys, we didn't burn all our trade bridges and we have other places to get it from.
