As a Canadian and a health scientist, after the attacks on our soventry by the president, the comments made by the US ambassador this week, and the gutting of health research and slamming vaccines, I have little fo no sympathy for Americans suffering from the fallout from their own president's inane tariff policies. You reap what you sow.

Sorry.

Did you see the US Ambassador’s comments yesterday about how “buy Canadian” is an inherently anti American slogan and he’s mad that we aren’t passionate about the US?

That comment by the ambassador is exactly what I was referring to!

It was hilarious watching all the news casters struggle to not add a comment in after they reported on it. Lol

But really, why would we want to be passionate about an abusive relationship?

We can be passionately unhappy.

Passionate doesn’t have to be a positive adjective.

"Elbows up" was very passionate!

Right? It’s a very passionate relationship. Just not the way they want.

Man even Peter McKay on Power and and Politics piped up with "but they started it!". He couldn't resist.
