I feel like we're due for an evil Canada arc. They've always been so nice. Imagine they get really hardcore for a while.

I'll apologize but I won't mean it. Things are that serious.
Canadians committed so many war crimes during WWII there remains a running joke in some circles that they see the Geneva Convention rules as a checklist. So yeah, they go real hardcore.
Give it 25 years. Everyone forgets. Or glosses over. Or believes narratives and yarns weaved.

Some would say you need to be careful of pissing off the "nice" people. The people who want to be left alone
I hope not. I ride and race DH mountain bikes with them. They're the best! I think the problem is with their political leaders, and that may improve for them in coming years. Maybe things won't be so authoritarian like the retaliation of the trucker's strike.
You mean the source of the data? CPB: USAFacts: Grok summary: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data shows that in the last fiscal year, approximately 43 pounds (19.5 kilograms) of fentanyl were seized at the U.S.-Canada border. This contrasts sharply with the 21,100 pounds (9,570 kilograms) seized at the U.S.-Mexico border during the same period. This information is supported by several news outlets like CNN, The Globe and Mail, and AP News, which have cited these official figures.
Well, IIRC they did burn down the White House in 1812....with the help of the Brits. Canada has never lost a war with the US fwiw. And suffered proportionally more casualties in Normandy. Plus, I think Canadian crude oil accounts for something like 60% of US consumption....if you take that out (because the US needs it) then the US actually runs a trade surplus w/ Beaver nation to the tune of $50 billion.
yeah, the more I thought about the fentynol angle the less sense it made. bringing it in through Canada isn't practical. trade imbalance makes more sense. Trump clearly doesn't like giving money away. I don't miss the one-upmanship of Twitter, although processing ideas sometimes looks like that here.
I assume they are contemplating military incursion in order to get the Stanley Cup back by now.
We are hardcore! Have you seen our weather?kinda have to be if you live away from anyof the cities. Sorry, not sorry. Thank you.
That's who broke the fake story in the first place, and why it hasn't been in the news for years. There has been no actual evidence. I'm aware that the residential schools were a dark period in Canada's history, but a "genocide" with "mass graves" without a single body being found makes me wonder.
Here’s the funding chart the CBC used to have online. Look at the disingenuous Y axis, even their charts are propaganda. image
A bit of that maybe, plus a bit of journalistic exaggeration. The native communities weren't the ones to push this narrative, it was activists and the media. "Mass Graves" gets more clicks and attention than "ground penetrating radar anomalies" or graves being unmarked because wooden grave markers disappeared over a 100 year plus time frame.
