> We are saturated in your news, your media, and your politics.

That's my point. Why not saturate yourselves with your own news, your own media, your own politics. Canada surely must have something going for it?

> You honestly think that people living half an hour from the border don't get an opinion?

I'm not far from the canadian border and I don't a shit about canadian politics. You don't have to obsess over foreign politics. You'll live longer.

> When did americans get in the business of licensing who could have opinions, anyway?

Since 1776?

Chalk it up to foreign meddling.

POV: Republicans are now afraid of [checks notes] Canadian 'foreign meddling'.

Only thirty years ago, this was parody:

Is there anything you all aren't afraid of?

This is the first time I've ever been mistaken for being a republican. Not surprised my comment went right over your head. Your brain is so fried with politics that you can't understand that I'm trying to help you. Nothing you say or do will affect politics. You might as well go scream at a mountain for being in the way. I used to think highly of canadians. But the more canadians I run into, the more pathetic they come across. Maybe it's because the good canadians live their lives while the bad waste their time screaming about other countries' politics. Or maybe familiarity breeds contempt.

Go get a life instead of worrying about foreign politics. And let me clue you in on a little secret, both the republican and the democratic party are shit and they both work for the same master. If there is anything more pathetic than a trumptard, it's a canadian obsessed with republicans or democrats.

> You don't have to obsess over foreign politics. You'll live longer.

And obsessing over what other people care about?
