@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caI don't usually advocate for an outcome like this... but this time I am because really the question isn't about the CBC. It's about Canadian sovereignty. Trump should have no part of any decision in Canada, period. So whether you love the CBC or not, the only correct answer here is No because we should never allow a foreign dictator to make decisions for us.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caI haven't visited the U.S. since January 2020 (business travel prior to retirement), but my social media commentary, like the example above, means I won't be traveling there anytime soon. I'm likely to be "disappeared" once they get access to my phone.
Thankfully, I'm not remotely interested in going there.

@emd@cosocial.caJust spoke my first Canadian that expressed surprise when I mentioned that many Canadians aren’t travelling to the US cuz of the 51st state stuff.
They said, “I’m ok with that”. They’re heading to Disneyland in August.
Knowing this person, I’m not really surprised, though I am disappointed.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
On August 7, 1927, the Peace Bridge, an international bridge spanning the Niagara River between Buffalo, New York, and Fort Erie, Ontario, was dedicated. This event commemorated over a century of peace between the United States and Canada. I'm guessing there won't be a ceremony for 200 years of peace since we're now the "nasty Canadians."

The Battle of Lundy's Lane, also known as the Battle of Niagara, was fought on July 25th 1814, during the War of 1812. An invading American army clashed with British and Canadian defenders near present-day Niagara Falls, Ontario. It was one of the bloodiest battles of the war, and one of the deadliest battles fought in Canada, with approximately 1,720 casualties, including 258 killed. The engagement was marked by intense musketry at close range and instances of friendly fire on both sides amidst the smoke and confusion, which caused several units to break entirely. The two armies fought each other to a stalemate; neither side held firm control of the field following the engagement. However, the casualties suffered by the Americans precipitated their withdrawal and signaled the beginning of the end of the War of 1812. This battle therefore gave Canada a strategic victory.
