Um, dude? If you’re going to pretend to be a Canadian, might be good if you studied up on Canada first.

If instead you’re from one of the more disgustingly backward parts of rural Alberta, you might want to pay attention to what’s been happening in the rest of the country for the last fifty years or so, with emphasis on the past couple of months.

I dunno about the biggest famine in history—it would take a lot of people dying to match the higher death toll estimates for the Great Chinese Famine of 1959-1961. I could see things getting pretty messed up, though: sharp rises in food prices because of lowered yields, the need for imports going up, profiteering on the international market, lower-income people being unable to buy enough calories to survive. Unfortunately, it’s likely that the urban poor, rather than the rural white people who are the core of the Republican voting base, would be the ones disproportionaly affected.

The US is just itching for a reason to be a victim here.

If they honestly want that, and we don’t give them a reason, Trump will just go ahead and fabricate one. Again.

The Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star are still Canadian-owned as far as I know . . . although to be honest, I’m not certain that Canadian billionaire ownership is much of an improvement.

Nope, “toonie” is the nickname of the two-dollar coin and perfectly fine in context. (I suppose it’s also a double-whammy, since I don’t recall the US having a two-dollar denomination . . .)
