    As an American, let me thoroughly reassure you: we don’t want Canada to join the Union either.

      I don’t think we were being asked to “join”.

      If I reflect on the subtext, it felt like more of a limp-dick threat from a group of entitlement-complex having old white assholes in charge of a country of under-educated, mouth-breathing, inbred racists, with a soupçon of imperialism.

          Xenophobia implies a phobia.

          I’m not afraid off you, and if I was, I don’t think it would be an irrational fear. Generally, on average, if we bell-curve this shit, your’re (sometimes) well-meaning idiots with far too much ego and power, who collectively need a serious serving of humble fuckin’ pie. Often you’re not even well-meaning. Nothing to be afriad of, but a blight to be assiduously avoided for ones own well being and sanity.

          As far as hate: I don’t hate Americans for being Americans. I can and will also acknowledge we have our share of maple maga; hate filled bigots with a selfish agenda.

          Futhermore, this was done to you. Over generations. But you also chose to have it done to you. Over generations.

          So: I sure hate the choices you make, but it’s not possible to do better until you know better.
