   Dear US:
   Some of you just don't "get it" ,
   and *thankfully some do*.

   After all these months some haven't clued in on the stress your country is exerting on Canadians mental health.

   Parents tell me their children go to bed asking for reassurance they won't be shot by US soldiers.

   Most adults complain their sleep is is disturbed by nightmares.

   Using a little thought before you speak with us is appreciated, no, *expected*.

   And thank all of you who discern what is socially responsible.

   🇨🇦

     @Snowshadow A part of me is grieving. I am watching my government stab allies in the back who previously bled together with #America 🇺🇸, defending shared values against tyrants & criminal governments.

     Now, the future for all is uncertain. It is embarrassing too. ☹️

     My President is openly talking about conquering #Canada 🇨🇦 & #Greenland 🇬🇱, as if we need more space (we don’t!). Why would we need to conquer allied nations‽ It is cheaper & easier to work with them. It’s insanity!

     @duckz @Snowshadow There is a weird saying I have heard in America 🇺🇸: “The United States 🇺🇸 does not have allies, only interests.”

     I believe Trump is embracing the philosophy to the extreme or at the very least removing the pretense of how the US government really feels.

     @darnell @Snowshadow the US has a dominant position and they use this fact to their advantage all the time. So-called allies have always been seen as useful idiots rather than friends, there has been a cultural invasion raging since the '40s, see the USAid for example, and how much culture Hollywood exported, how copyright laws were imposed on Countries with a more traditional sharing culture, it's a long list. Now that they're twisting the arm of allies illusion is shattering
