    Something also not touched on in the article is the HUGE number of ukrainians we have in our country, particularly in the praries. We’re ranked in the top 3 for ukrianians/Ukraine heritage, below Ukraine and Russia.

    I’d argue most Canadians are pretty pro-Ukraine, and the US wiffle-waffling on that as well stings deep.

      I get it’s ‘the US’ because he was voted in but it’s not the US it’s one fucking moron. Our country bumkins are misinformed idiots that got him to power, yes, but population centers aka well educated folks are blue and we fucking hate every minute of this shit. Hence demonstrations at all state capitols multiple times over the last 2 months. Idk I’m probably making a moot point. I just can’t stand being thrown in a pile with the current administration, him winning or not, none of this is okay.

        Bit tired of hearing this NGL, the problem is with your entire country and frankly that includes casting off the American rural poor as “idiotic country bumkins”. Stuff like that is exactly what will turn them away from your ideals & into the hands of those pointing at the snobbish urban elites looking down at them.
