(20 posts)The Canada/US relationship goes beyond, dare I say this, the bonds of a marriage deep as that marriage can seem. So often each of us has worn our hearts on our sleeve, pledged deep and unparalleled allegiance to defend one another to the bone, shared science, arts, our best people from both sides of the border, industry, agriculture and yes even literal marriage between our 2 countries, the same language, sort of 😊and while we are the same, we are both unique.
Recent events have created something I never thought Id see, yes America always tried to play older brother to us and we Canadians smiled inward knowing that younger brothers often shine brighter. Younger brothers have been known to stand up to the older dominant brother, I think what were seeing now is younger brother is no longer acquiescing to older brother. Enough is enough.
My wife and I have travelled in the US countless times and while met with the occasional indifference our take on the average American citizen has left us with many fond memories. Our current beef isnt with the regular citizen, trust me when I say this. But I will also say with absolute affirmation that the trust between us has been broken to the extent that I think even my young grandsons will be wary of you. This is not to bash you the people this is to bash the leaders you the people chose to elect. Now Canadians, Americans and the rest of the world have to live with it, and not just the remainder of 4 years but far beyond it.
