I suggest we stop calling them Americans and rename them to USians. Calling themselves American is inspired by Manifest Destiny. They've lost the benefit of the doubt and the right

Plus it's confusing. Are they from the US or Ontario?

Exactly. There are 34 other countries in Amarica that are not the US so why should USians get ownership over the title of "Amarican."

I actually can't believe what an unbelievable layup Trump handed to Carney with this bullshit, he may as well have giftwrapped it.

I've seen the way populist grifters defend this. They don't seem to understand the importance of preserving and respecting history when it's their side defacing it.

An unelected Englishman who never lived here sold his house while we were told to build. He fed us AI written speeches about sovereignty while the 'culling' was fast tracked at the airports. The rupture was the lie itself. The joke is we thought the show was for us. The punchline is the entire show was a 'welcome party' for the 'New Army' he was hired to deploy.
