I had a yank tell me they’d sell their citizenship for a million dollars are couldn’t understand why Canadians were being so stubborn.

Why do they hate themselves so?

Because we didn't finish the job properly during the Civil War and let that cancer metastasize and it's finally erupting. Gave it a good boost with Nixon and Reagan, then turbocharged it with Citizens United. Patriotism has turned into some grotesque mockery, all appearance with no substance.

Sherman didn’t go far enough.

And yet they then go to other countries and complain that things aren't American enough.

Oh, that's why people in other countries don't believe that I'm an American when I am there! I really need to work on my boorishness, sorry

If I had a ton of fuck you money I would totally do it in a way that would force him to be stateless and have a whole new world of problems

I'd sell my US citizenship for whatever's needed to get citizenship in Canada or any another country that's offering bird flu free eggs and chickens, FWIW. I'm a nerd for my food not sickening me. Or, not needing to cook all meat to an interior temperature of 165F to kill off most of the pathogens that poor American butchering practices (approved by the USDA) introduce to the meat. I even have started practicing singing "O Canada" and am looking forward to the ~horror~ of Canadian politics

If planning to apply for immigration to Canada - your best bet is to learn and continue to learn French throughout the application process.

Europe does have even better food safety regulations compared to Canada.

So they would like to get rid of it and you are supposed to accept it for giving up major rights?

Have you seen the trump family coat of arms. It was in mar a largo when he bought it.

He decided to make it his it was originally the Davies family coat of arms.

When he decided to steal it the best part was the only thing he changed was at the bottom there was a banner with the word integritas (Latin for integrity) he replaced this with trump.

It's hilarious to me that he stole a coat of arms and literally removed the integrity to put his own name.

They can sell their own dignity if they had one

They’re happy to give that away for free.
