If you're a pessimist chickenshit then get out of the way and let others do what they need to do.

I'm under no illusions about Canada's dependence on the US. I'm also under no illusions about what we need to do to break it. I am also aware that there may be pragmatic decisions that need to be made to best position ourselves in the time we have (or don't have), including eg acknowledging our previous condemnation of Maduro while condemning violations of international law, or slow playing our resistance to the US as much as possible to both buy time and to allow them to hang themselves.

But I'm not willing to disparage my country, retard progress or demotivate the people courageous enough to fight, in order to come across as a 'cooler than thou' cynical edgelord. You're not seeing something the rest of us don't see you're just an obstructionist dick.
