A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

".... to be Canadian is to look southward toward America and say: Canada may not be perfect, but we will never be, nor will we ever want to be, anything other than what we are — Canada, the true north, strong and free."

Don't even go there please! NO!
EDIT: This is an obvious satire website.
And I don't find it at all funny! We Do NOT want to become Americanized thank you!

@SnowshadowII

Thanks for the edit. It is satire, and many Americans unhappy with what’s going on in the US talk about wanting to join Canada.

@EllenJS
Yes, they do too often ask me that that's why my curt response.
I used to go into a lengthy explanation all the reasons why it is not feasible but it all boils down to we are different and do NOT want to our identity overwhelmed and diluted by a massive influx of tens of millions of unknown Americans...including MAGAs.
Individuals are more than welcome to move here, but no, not states joining.
That's a settler attitude.
And when I have people making the request or suggestion many, many times a day it's annoying because it shows a lack of thought and sensitivity, so I apologize for my short reply earlier.

And think about this if a country was threatening yours, and part of it said we want to join you...??

@SnowshadowII @EllenJS

I don't think a lot of Americans realize just how much anxiety this talk of annexation has been causing.

Satire lands pretty flat when your country is in the crosshairs.

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @SnowshadowII

A lot of Americans do realize how much anxiety this talk of annexation is causing —it’s causing it not just to you but to us too! We didn’t vote for this, we’re as horrified as you are, and we’re working for change.

We too are looking for support, and satire falls flat. How should we try to connect?

I understand. The American friends I have are pretty despondent about all of this.

In the end we're all just passengers on Trump's crazy train.

I'm not near clever enough to have solutions, just a suggestion that we should all try to be patient and empathetic.

On one side, not everyone is out to get us, and on the other, some subjects are just going to be pretty sensitive going forward.
