    Holy shit, so this is what it feels like to have people joke about your country being invaded by America.

    This sucks, yo. And we haven't even been bombed yet.

    This is obviously irrelevant to Canada since its a resource colony of the US. But its obviously relevant to almost everybody else. Trump's tariffs creates a world where nobody but the most efficient exporters of all time have access to the US market. Meaning China. And everybody else becomes more dependent of China as a result.

      I've joked before that someone should run on the traditionalist platform of contracting China to build a trans-continental railway

        Honestly Canada is the most Sinophobic place on Earth. It was on par with the US until China had the nerve to arrest two Canadian removed and it's been a constant scream of incoherent rage since.

          If you think it's bad here you should see Australian media. Everything is China's fault. Australian politicians can't get China out of their mouths. China this, China that.

          Can confirm. Live here. It's a racist country in general, but holy shit, people here really go hard on the bigotry against China.
