Please create a conflict between Canada and the US, though it won't be much of a fight with how cucked Canada is and unlike last time there isn't a British Empire to come in.
Though in truth, I bet this'll be used to try and designate some 'far right groups' as terrorists or something ridiculous.
Maybe, but really it's just a smear piece designed to play on the prejudices of the smug Canadian middle class
Canadians are inculcated from elementary school with the idea that we're just better than the States, and so the establishment will often try to deter Canadians from supporting ideas they dislike by dismissing them as American ideas being spread into Canada by Americans.
Obviously no actual Canadians would want to protect their kids from LGBT indoctrination in schools, or want to have the right to a say in their own children's education, because here in Canada we understand that the government and the experts know best, and anyone telling telling you different is obviously an American subverter who wants to take away your world-class free health care.
Do most Canadians still believe their health care is world-class?
Seems like the cat is out of the bag on that one, although I'm sure many of them still lie to themselves about it. And many more would never admit its shit, especially not to an American.
The thing is the US is right next door, so it's the go-to comparison. Every European country has better universal health care than Canada, and they're paying significantly less per capita for it, but Canadians are endlessly propagandized with stories about Americans having to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars out of their own pocket for cancer treatment. I know it's not true, but most people up here believe it. As much as they bitch about the Canadian health care system, the follow-up is always, "But at least we're better off than the States."
Some do. More realistically they only really compare their health care to the US, and simply conclude that, because it's "free" (of course meaning socialized and part of why taxes are so high), it's automatically better than the US health care system.
I'm not going to say the US system is perfect or even particularly good, but at least if you have a moderate to major problem and aren't immediately dying you have the opportunity to receive care in a timely manner. Have a crippling back problem that requires surgery? In Canada, you can easily be waiting 2+ years for anything to be done about it.

Since Canada is directly connected to New York, I can under that misconception. But better than Florida, Texas or some of the rational states no chance.
I get that. That dynamic is going to happen any time a smaller society tries to maintain its uniqueness on the border of a larger one, especially one relatively similar. Neither country is that far removed from Britain much less each other.

You'd be surprised how well it works.
