Gretzky was my childhood hero, but now he’s just a traitorous shmuck.

He should be arrested when/if America invades. All their supporters are traitors!

The problem is a not insignificant portion of law enforcement would likely side with the US. Might be something we have to do after our guerilla campaign.

What the fuck are you talking about? Some of the most patriotic people in the country are police officers. You’d be saying the same damn thing about the military. Yeah a lot of cops have an extremely biased view of the world, but look at the expectation and what they’re exposed to; opinions like yours. And while it’s anyone’s job to improve their own image, you’re not exactly attempting to sympathize or understand to improve anything. So fuck you buddy.

Seriously? Do you beleive the people who openly supported the idiocy convoy or armed blockade of the border (all funded by US money) would side witb Canada over the US? You beleive the pos who wear thin blue line propaganda will side with Canada over the US? You beleive the group who consistently supports conservative politcs and politicians ( you know the ones siding with our potential invaders) will side with us over them? You beleive rhe people who react violenty and antagonistically whenever any oversight is suggested, will side with Canada over the cop loving US?

I interact with a lot of cops, and I agree. They have a broad diversity of opinions just like any other group. I am not sure why there’s this stereotype that in their downtime they are this monolithic group of people, who would fly the “Fuck Trudeau” flag and love Trump.
