Okay, what's a land acknowledgement?...I know I'm going to regret this, lol.

Some real hypocrisy there...If it's their land, give it back to them.

When I traveled Europe in the mid 80's, I had a Canadian flag on my backpack...just to prevent any confusion on which part of North America I came from
did the same in the 90's... And they are still doing the same today.

I wasn't aware it applied to individual meetings as well.
How do you even respond to someone saying that in a meeting lol.

I saw it at the remembrance day ceremony in Toronto but didn't know that it applies to individual meetings as well.

Stuff like this encourages major push back and then the social media wars start.

Unfortunately for the indigenous people they got overrun by a more powerful tribe...It's been happening ever since the birth of man.

"None is so deaf as who will not hear."
What does that even mean? Your whole argument of TDS is based on the fact that I don't like what I'm hearing from trump. So how can you now say that I'm deaf?

Dude, this makes no sense. That was a really weak comeback.

p.s. I know for sure that nobody sent you that. It is so poorly worded and structured that it had to be all yours. You butchered it.

Any animosity to US visitors?
There is animosity but I'd say that it's more sympathy than animosity. You're the ones that have to live there.

It’s funny, when I backpacked through Europe when Bush Jrs war was going on, I had to say I was from Canada since everyone was pissed at America. Now in Canada I might have to say I’m from one of those Nordic countries with a neutral accent.
Whose fault is that?

Fine. But not each time you are introduced to somebody.

Do you wish people Merry Christmas in July?

Sometimes it seems you like to be contrarian with someone from the left for no other reason than that. Shaq's anecdote had nothing worthy of being contrarian about.

This whole DEI mission is so problematic...Hire whoever you want and shut up about it.

It's the virtue signalling that is nauseating.
MAGA is still worried that they can't compete evenly wth minorities.
Canning DEI is bad for business, it means more unqualified workers.

Trump doesn't want to destroy Canada

in fact I heard that he will offer every Canadian $500 000.00 US as a buy in

if we join US
CBC notes that trump is using the same language and reasoning to take over Canada that Putin used for invading Ukraine.

trump argues that Canadians want it and it will make us money the same way Putin said Ukrainians want to join Russia and it will make them rich.

Now that I know the TERB sentiment from this thread, how’s the actual sentiment up there in Canada?

There is serious animosity against the govt of the USA and anyone who voted for it. To expect otherwise is naive. That being said we won't be rounding you up. But spout off, claim you are here to look at your new "state" in the wrong place and I wouldn't want to be you.

You don't want to mistake our patience for passiveness.
