Yeah I’m definitely not a liberal

doing your best impression of one then?

But I’m not going to pretend that I’m super stoked about a bunch of people from a country that’s been threatening to invade my country coming here either. Don’t know how Americans don’t understand this about their effects on other countries and how it makes them feel about your country.

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
