Try the Foreigners Club Hotel, owned by G.S. Jr. Just beware of the layabouts in the lobby!

Oh you're talking about me? Canadians are just fed up with USians saying, "sorry, but I didn't vote for him." and you have the nerve to call us "impotent"

Its funny that you lament divisiveness even as you go out of your way to exclude the star of the show, Shatner, from your montage. What's your grude against him anyhoo?

Actually, we will keep Lake Ontario, thanks. We have our own country and our own famous people. We've lost interest in the US.

you might wanna think about who benefits from having your health care tied to your jobs. and you might have to suffer and do without in order to rid yourself of this president you all claim to despise so much.

Yeah, we are sick of your weak ass apologies. Do something instead of monetizing your "opposition"

so glad i'm following you! I completely agree with your takes--way too many US citizens have supported him for way too long

Right? And if that happens, the people are going to have to hit the streets long term. and boycott the economy as much as possible.

JohnDMcIntyre @jmcintyre.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
I find the theory appealing too. But I'm going with the most likely thing--many Americans refuse to vote for a woman. Hence a lot of people who voted Biden in 2020 switched back to Trump in 2024.

JohnDMcIntyre @jmcintyre.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Yes, some of you really are. But all of us, especially Americans, need to be ready for the very real possibility that the Trump administration will not recognize the midterm election results. What then?

"funny sign day"--exactly. That was one of the main things to come out of it. People comparing their funny signs on social media after a solid 3 hours out there protesting

I don't buy it. Sure Harris wasn't nearly as critical of Israel as she should have been but to suggest a conspiracy theory so vast as this is just cope. It's harder to admit that a *lot* of your fellow citizens voted for Trump. Including people who said they switched but in fact didn't.

canada is not nearly as divided as the US. its only very recently that trump was below 40% nationally.

Absolutely agree. MAGA hangers-on like Duffy can't understand that the rest of the world isn't enamoured of the orange god like they are.

If it was stolen, why didn't Harris and Walz contest it? I appreciate your sentiment, but I do think you're in denial about the US support for Trump and complancency more generally.

Any plans to do anything about it? I thought you guys were the land of the free?

JohnDMcIntyre @jmcintyre.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
that's because most US citizens are doing nothing to change it. Other countries have toppled regimes far more intimidating than this one.

oh they haven't just been sitting on their asses. They've also been making endless comical memes about it and making "I just can't believe ..." comments

Gee with an attitude like that, I can’t understand why people don’t want to help you. I’ve stopped buying anything that supports the US economy have stopped travelling there. It’s economic pressure that will bring Trump and his thugs down. What are you doing? Besides berating strangers?

General strike. Stay on the streets until the government falls. Other countries have done it lots of times.

Uhhh the Chris Elliott for Senate thing was a joke. You do realize that right? But it’s kind of cool if you see him as an actual viable candidate!

JohnDMcIntyre @jmcintyre.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
Totally agree that we need to look out for each other. And totally agree with what OP said above that the problem is in no way limited to the United States. maybe there should be a general strike or something like that until the regime is driven out

JohnDMcIntyre @jmcintyre.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
I’m sorry if it came across like that. That’s not at all what I mean. I just mean that other countries besides the US have stared down autocracy from within and triumphed. In my opinion, Americans aren’t doing nearly enough to push back. Look at what the Albanians are doing, for example.

Chris Elliott is the voice Maine needs! And he already lives in the former home of a Maine senator!

He’s even served as President! #Maine

Agree. If Trump hadn’t interfered, the US team could’ve used the questionable red card as a rallying point. Teams often do well when they are pushing back from adversity. Instead, he probably made them feel like they didn’t deserve to be there, which is never a good feeling going into a close game.

JohnDMcIntyre @jmcintyre.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
You’re kidding yourself if you thought this team was in contention for anything.

Zing! Was typing quickly. Obviously meant your team.

JohnDMcIntyre @jmcintyre.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
Nope, you lost because Belgium was the far stronger team. You just haven’t played anybody tough until today.

JohnDMcIntyre @jmcintyre.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
Why not place the blame where it actually belongs. Your shitty team. They’ve been given a hand up through the whole tournament. Kind of like the coach playing his son, but the kid still can’t score.

JohnDMcIntyre @jmcintyre.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
They suck. And the US tried to cheat and lost anyway. I’m really surprised that you were OK with that.

JohnDMcIntyre @jmcintyre.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
Belgium is used to being screwed over by larger bullying countries. In the end they always win.
