We just need El Farolito to leave to a different league, and Golden Gate disappears.

Arrogance and entitlement is not just Trump's administration.

It is the core of what Americans are. All stripes of Americans.

Ignorance and arrogance are so tightly intertwined that we just sum them up with the title "ugly Americans."

It is universal.

Despicable behaviour.

Absolute condemnation for this should be universal.

You are exactly right.

The two party system doesn't work at the most basic level, and will often not represent anyone but a few.

Parliamentary system with multiple parties to avoid majority governments, and allows for coalition governments.

Multiple parties are more bespoke to individual needs.

It will take far longer than that, and the relationship will never be what it once was.

In personal relationships, once trust is lost, the odds of repairing it are low, and if it does mend it is never the same.

The US being envied are pre 1980s, and respected are pre 9/11.

We just want reassurance that this isn't entitlement.

You aren't just knocking on our door, barging your way in, walking into the kitchen with your shoes on, and yelling over your shoulder that we need to buy more groceries because your situation with your ex means you can't afford it.

Just remember when asked; you aren't fleeing Trump, you are moving here because of an excellent job opportunity, you have always admired Canada, and after long discussions decided this was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

We all know it because of the brain drain.

Your family should look at rural prairie communities that are desperate for medical professionals. Many struggle to retain medical professionals based on remoteness and the inconveniences that entails.

It might fast track you, and once you're in, you're in.

I am glad that he clarified that because his initial comments were concerning.

The yanks are our enemies. Why should we assist them in bombing wee girls into oblivion?

and believe joining the US is the best option, but they are the exact same as maga in the US in terms of being radicalised online.

The other separatists delusionally believe that Alberta can be independent.

It is blown out of proportion and presented as worse than it is, but annoying regardless.

Alberta is still a great place to live and work, but the whole UCP trying to cozy up to a malicious foreign government (US) is quite concerning, however it is splitting conservatives in Alberta, many of whom are not separatists.

The Separatists are split as well, some have gone full "maple maga"

PP has changed seven times trying to be whatever he thinks Conservative voters want, the worst was when he was trying to be a mini Trump, but that cost him the election.

He is just hubris and one line slogans, but as you know, that is still dangerous.

The NDP *chef's kiss* working class heroes.

That is great.

Unfortunately our politics are shifting. The Tories and the Grits have both shifted to the right.

Mark Carney (I am so proud of him) would have been a Tory twenty years ago.

Alberta is under siege from foreign bot farms peddling misinformation and radicalising our 40+ crowd.

I don't mind some Americans coming, but not the ones that are selfish and just want to hide here and be a burden (whether emotionally or financially).

That US author in the news begging everyone for money because Vancouver is expensive can go right back.

Entirely self-centred of her.

The attacks on our solidarity have made many of us rightfully angry.

Myself and others think that writing strongly worded letters or marching around with signs that have pithy quips on them isn't fighting back in any way. The Democrats just cheered on the aggression in Iran.

Pussy is a fair term.

That is awesome.

I grew up in the States (sort of). I grew up in Alaska which pre 9/11 was a very different culture than the lower 48.

The advice I gave was some of the learning curve that I had. Not the arrogance part, but the "wow! You do that and not this?"

Born Canadian, and here since 2000.

Amazing. I love, love, love that album.

Come here if you have a skill set that you can offer, but don't sound stupid. Don't tell your coworkers garbage like; "litres?! It might take me a while to get used to that. Hahaha."

Don't be the stupid yank that thinks the world revolves around you. Your country is just one of many.

The general opinion is that Trump isn't the issue, but he is an embodiment of what yanks are; belligerent, arrogant, loud, opinionated, and uneducated

Trump going away doesn't fix the issue. Nearly 40% support him, and that is roughly a 160,000,000 yanks

Democrats are just as obnoxious but pussies

C. Do whatever you can do to adapt to the local community and culture. We aren't a friends pad to crash at because you are in an abusive relationship. i.e. come here to live here and keep your bs in the past.

Your entire mental space is obsessing about what is happening in the States = no friends.

I'll wade in.

A. Don't point out the differences. Just keep them in your head until you get home. Americans tend to be LOUD about; "well we don't do it like that back home." We don't care how things are done in the US

B. Don't be obsessed about US politics, but instead educate yourself about ours

I am so excited about Project Hail Mary.

Book dorks having screaming about this book for a while, and it had been on my "to read" list.

Leave it to a Canadian to save the world

I am going to eat so much popcorn, but I am going to add those little Oh Henry bites to it first

I love theatre popcorn

In hockey they talk about needing skill to have luck, or you needing to create your own luck.

When you put enough pressure on a player or team, they make mistakes, and Italy were pressing.

England didn't voluntarily "implode." It wasn't like it was a cognitive decision

The Italians deserve credit

I am not going to do whataboutism because deflecting is a very unhealthy thing in life.

What certain Celtic supporters did at Ibrox today was wrong.

Pushing past security to get in without a ticket was shameful, but the damage to the park was grotesque. I expect better.

Vancouver Whitecaps women's academy sex abuse case.

Major League Soccer

The top tier in the USSF.

There are so many to list. Even going after San Diego like they did.

USL has its own issues, but they don't hit the moral bankruptcy that MLS does.

Did anyone have New Zealand losing by roughly a hundred runs in the 2026 T20 World Cup final?

I did not.
