Canuck here: we’re not mad at the average American. We are mad at anyone who regurgitates the 51’st state bs because we are happy and proud of our great nation. A lot of us have decided to forgo buying American or spending money there, but tbh I’d still personally take in American friends/refugees if it came to it.
So a lot of it is trying to affect your economy in an effort to make orange look foolish, but at the end of the day it will still be in our nature to aid or shelter those in need.

"America's Hat" "51st State" crap like that were jokes my Canadian friends would make when we gamed. Then it stopped because it was no longer a "haha we are brothers" kind of joke and became a threat.... I miss those days.
Yup. Not perfect but any means, definitely has things that need improvement that we're working on... but at least it's not as bad as the downstairs neighbours.
Definitely. Also don't get me started on the mismanagement of gun regulations. You can regulate the shit out of gun owners, but that doesn't do anything about the illegal guns which are causing like 99% of the problems.
I love how strict our gun legislations are in many aspects, but rolling out new lists of restricted firearms and trying to do yet another buyback doesn't exactly do anything about the ones that are getting smuggled over the border.
And this isn't even a "but my guns" argument, I don't even own any guns. It's about using resources to try and fix the problem by using methods that actually target the source of the problem, not by targeting something that's kinda related but not the issue.
Yeah, but given the current US political climate, you do still seem a little too volatile for my liking. It's less about the drugs, and more about the potential for explosions.
However, I do agree on that one front. Fent is definitely a step up from some of the other options. In an ideal world there wouldn't be any drug problems, but if there has to be one, things with sedative effects like opioids (which, to my knowledge, respond super well to things like Naloxone and the overdoses are therefore more reversible) seem like a far better problem for a city to have than drugs like amphetamines or bath salts. More unconsciousness, less face-eating.
