because they'll say something bad about my country and go "ha! see? your country is not perfect and therefore mine doesn't evenhave to be good"

they argue like spoiled kids

    No, because I'd almost certainly get to point out that your government is still closely allied and largely supportive of the US government, both economically and politically, up to and including the aggression in Iran, and odds in favor of supporting our genocide in Palestine too. And that the outcry of Europeans to detach from our nascent reich pales in comparison to it's resistance from domestic Americans, to a degree that suggests you're all but comfortable and complicit with that alliance. And you're angry at yourself and feeling guilty that you're afraid to demand forcefully from your own government that they drop support for us, so you redirect that guilt and anger toward actual Americans on the internet. Pull your weight, do your part. Quit barking at me like a vassal dog while I pull mine.

    lol I'm from Canada… we stopped going to your country, stopped buying anything you make and bush our shitty politicians to stop paying attention to your pedophile in chief

    Canada has reacted and pressured the USA economically harder than you with your weekend protests

    Get off your ass and do something that matters while you still can… you are NOT the victim here

    Your government is still our closest economic and political ally, save for maybe the UK and Israel.

    While your government has official abstained from participating publicly in the invasion of Iran, your prime minister's statement on the matter is not condemnation of US aggression, but the following:

    Canada’s position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world’s worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.

    You have not ceased trade or travel with the US. As of a few days ago your government was enthusiastically promoting renewal of the USMCA while Trump was the only one arguing against it, and I myself was in Vancouver just a few months ago. Lots of trucks coming and going through customs.

    While I appreciate anything you're personally doing to pressure your leaders, I really do, you too have a lot more to do before I think you're justified haraunging random anti-Trump Americans on the internet. Canada's international image is not anti-Trump, it's one of accommodation through non confrontation.

    I wish you the best of luck in your protests, I hope you wish me well in mine.
