    No I do, but I live here. I can’t count how many Lemmy.ca folks giving this same type of response.

      Mainer that chose to join our more sensible brothers to the North. Nothing but glad they would have me. America fucking sucks and living here is starting to suck even as a working class white guy, which is frankly most of my state. Why anyone would think a patriotic thought besides burn it all down at this point is beyond me.

        Glad you made it! Happy you’re here, and I hope you’re settled and can help rescue others.

          I’m still South of the border, I only meant in a digital sense that .ca allowed me to join, partly because they are the closest server to me physically afaik, but mostly that they seem the most level headed of the bunch. Just my opinion. But I would go to quite some lengths to emigrate if I thought it was actually feasible. I’m just a blue collar guy, hardly any savings, and crazy lucky to have convinced the bank and my landlord to sell me the house. I’m pretty stuck here as I see it, but there’s a lot of opportunities to help here too. Off the Internet I really try to moderate the acidity of my opinions, more flies to honey type of shit. /ramble

      Some Canucks are angry at the aggression showed toward us by your national spokesman.

      I’m sorry they’re representing us so poorly, as they should be better reflecting the lasting hurt from perceived treachery by a friendly nation in a way that’s more informative and less pithy. But this is where we are.

      Remember, too, that our global representative isn’t perfect, but we narrowly missed getting our own absolutely incapable and inappropriate provincialist caricature of leadership, ourselves. I think there’s something in there, too.

      Thanks for understanding. I think this is gonna get more stressful before it gets better, so I’m doubly worried if you’re near a border in a town normally enriched by tourism proceeds.
