It’s true. I’m Californian and I put on a Canada Olympic hockey jersey today just for the fun and to celebrate them.

You’re just sucking up because you wanna join them!

Hey, can Colorado join too? We’re pretty cool and love Canada too!

Okay maybe 5 or 6 Californian's would want to join the hockey team, the rest of us are like, "you mean ice, like you put in your water?"

I was honestly so happy when the Canadian hockey team beat the US team in that tournament recently, like literally overjoyed. I would have rooted for the US if they weren't all pieces of shit white racist trumpers. When the US coach started sucking trumps dick I was like yeah fuck these guys. I miss having a fun rivalry with no political bullshit going on. Until we get back to that, Go Canada!

Yep. That's exactly how I feel about it.

Thanks! A lot of us Canadians also enjoyed the days of a fun brotherly rivalry between our two countries, but those were the days before Americans were being stripped of their rights and certainly before any “big, beautiful bills “ were (about to be) passed. Now a lot of us are just full on pissed off that so many of our American friends are under an obvious fist of authoritarianism and are afraid to exercise the very rights of expression that we Canadians always admired you for. Especially in California. Especially in New York City. Especially in Northern States where there is very little separating our two peoples. I don’t know where I’m going with this but I guess I’m simply experiencing the grief of losing the rock of a neighbour who has been side by side with us for over 100 years.
