It's embarrassing when I see this US nationalism infect so many walks of Canadian life. We were supposed to be better and to hold ourselves to a higher educated standard.

In the end it's disheartening how easily our indenity is impacted ~~but~~ *by our southern cousins when the uneducated in Canada are protesting and spouting off about their US rights like they are the same as ours.

There were many reasons why our forefathers resisted US expansion into Canada and why we took another path from joining them as a country. Those reasons are convoluted and many but they made us unique and Canadian.

I fear that we will continue to be lost as we are further pulled into the misinformation sphere which has been so effective against many.
