REMINDER TO AMERICANS:
In Canada, Liberals and Conservatives are political parties. As in, that’s their name. They’re not Democrats and Republicans. They are literally Liberals and Conservatives.
And no, Liberals and Conservatives are not equal to Democrats and Republicans.
Our Conservatives are like your Democrats. And our Liberals are like a whole party full of Bernie Sanders. And our actual left-wing party—who actually loves unions—are known as New Democrats.
We also have more parties. Because multi-polarity is a good thing in a functioning democracy. -

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org@Saorsa I would really like to not care about what goes on in USA but Trump wants Canada to become part of USA—so if Americans are actually going to try to annex Canada, I’m going to have an opinion. -

Don't blame you for being worried, though with the way global politics are these days.

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org@Saorsa I don’t believe that because USA has tried to take over Canada since the American Revolution. Then they tried again in 1812. When actual war didn’t make it happen, they used economic “friendship”. Which, to be fair, worked.
So now that USA is mask off, it’s time to diversify.
