This applies to those who STILL willfully engage with the system, not those either looking for an exit or those looking to maintain a low enough profile that they are hopefully overlooked:
The Canadian people seem to have embraced being 'not American' AS their identity. They boo the American flag during sporting events, go out of their way to support what Trump or those that are MAGA disapprove of or in this instance support a leader just because he's at odds with the Trump administration.
The result? They're losing EVERYTHING. Sporting matches, history, culture, Canada is an example of why you DON'T base your identity on 'not being them'

I mean, what else do they have? Maple syrup and Hockey? Tim Hortons? "Free" healthcare?
That's been their whole identity for like at least a century, just being notamerica. Canada as an identity doesn't even really exist anymore, and that becomes more true the more indians invade.
Canada is like the ultimate culmination of the ideology of Hitler being the ultimate evil so therefore whatever is directly opposite of him must be the ultimate good. This ideology overlooks any of the objectively good things that he did like animal welfare laws and decrees that if he did it, therefore it is evil. Now they are shooting themselves in the foot because Hitler didn't shoot himself in the foot. It is absolute insanity.
The closest thing Canada has had to an identity in living memory was the Freedom Convoy. We had Albertan truckers, fishermen from out East, Quebequois standing beside Ontarians, First Nations, young families and retirees all standing together to say "Canadians take care of ourselves".
That's why we were attacked so hard by our "government".
They're just copying the Irish (everyone is good but the English) and Catalans (everyone is good but the Spaniards). Consequently, the Irish and Catalans are massive proponents of multi-racialism, because they see 'new Irish' and 'new Catalans' as fellow allies against the English and Spaniards, respectively.
Same thing in the Ukraine (everyone is good but the Russians: anyone who even speaks Russian is evil and is 0% Ukrainian, and Okechukwu and Oluwadamilola are 100% Ukrainian).
For some reason, quite a few peoples of European descent now only have a negative, hateful identity based on being 'not-X'. 'Not-English', 'not-Spanish', 'not-Russian', 'not-American', etc. In practice, that means that they desire a globalization that includes absolutely everybody except that one group, hence places like Dublin, Barcelona, Toronto, Vancouver, etc. being 'everywhere' cities with exceedingly little that is unique about them.

I'm currently reading and the Zundle trial in Toronto; this is very accurate.
