Perhaps you, the liberal handwringing about american influence on your culture in response to a trans person not wanting to get genocided in america, is "not one of the good ones". Jesus how hard is it to think these things through before you say shit? Honestly, a bunch of white liberals, I get having some qualms, though the cultural influence talking point is far more pertinent in reference to media than via any imaginable number of refugees coming up.
Edit: AND ANOTHER THING, ITS NOT A "GUY"
doing your best impression of one then?
This is just nationalism. The tiny little seedling of reactionary cancer in your mind. The logic that leads people to fighting wars they never needed any part of to preserve or glorify a state that doesn't give a fuck about them.
Of course nobody wants to be invaded or annexed by america, but accepting a few refugees ain't that. And even if I accept your premise of needing to defend kkkanadian culture, American cultural influence doesn't come from a few too many americans crossing the border, if anything its primarily 1) media like I said is far and away the biggest, and 2) canadians going to the US for work and bringing it home. And probably a few other factors I'm forgetting off the top of my head, but not a few genuinely endangered fuckin refugees
I don't expect anyone to feel anything positive about america, if anything I wish people hated it more, both in America and around the globe, but recognizing the humanity in those who choose or are forced to leave it, is pretty basic stuff. They're human beings not a pernicious influence on "muh culture". Especially not in a country that's just as much of a dogshit settler state as america is but in a slightly different flavor
why are you so stupid that you either don't realize that the people fleeing that country aren't the same as the ones rattling sabres over war with yours or you simply don't care that there's a distinction? this is being generous assuming you are just stupid and not a malicious, xenophobic piece of shit
If you and yours aren't indigenous to Canada, it's all the same cracker shit regardless and should be sent back to Europe where it belongs.
Dawg, from one canuk to another, I hate America just as much as you do (probably more) but all the same there are good and bad people that live there. The people fleeing The Burger Reich for their own safety are likely the best among them. We should welcome them with open arms.
Fellow canuck seconding this. We did it before, when we took in Vietnam war draft dodgers and similar conscientious objectors. It was a win-win for everyone involved. Let's do it again.
Allegedly this is what really got BC’s marijuana growing industry off the ground. A lot of the draft dodgers were massive hippies / potheads lol.
So yeah, we definitely benefited from that 😅
shut the fuck up liberal
