You're not curious. You know what it is. Why is it so hard to say? It's "America bad."

And fine, buy all of your military hardware elsewhere. When will you be leaving NORAD and NATO then? Of course you won't. So this is performative.

No, it’s a lost sale.

The American head of state threatened to invade and annex the country, and you boil that down to a sarcastic "America bad"?

Erm, they can stay in NATO with the other European members just fine. It's the US that is making noises about leaving. NORAD is another matter, but the US and Canada can each run their own radars - the targets are south of the 49th parallel for the most part.

Historically, it isn't Canada that's been threatening to leave NATO.

That's true. But if America is so bad, why are you still in it?

I'm an immigrant to the US. I'm sorry you are so ready to throw away what people went through hell to get.

I am not. I have never lived in the US. I live in Canada, and I've had my country's sovereignty threatened by the US in the past 18 months.

America threatened both Canada and Greenland. Both NATO countries. It is engaged in murders of boatsmen, it started an illegal war that literally harmed countries around the world, it kidnapped a president just so it can blackmail is former right hand and is intentionally causing humanitarian catastrophe in Cuba to blackmail its government.

NORAD relies on radar stations in Canada.

This comment is like a poem encapsulating American hubris.
