We should all get team Canada shirts in solidarity 🫶

RAISSA's avatar

it would be an honor to wear their team shirts -- but likely an insult for any American to wear one at this point -- we are like the abused family of an abusive con man spouse where the rent has not been paid -- the entire family gets evicted -- that is our lot and accept it -- however cheer on Canada and our allies in the destruction of this man even at the cost of our economy -- we can get back our economy but we cannot easily get back our freedom -- I have written a letter to the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office expressing my grief and support of Canada

This was very thoughtful of you- to write a letter. I agree with your sentiments for the most part- but I also believe that the world needs to start seeing more support of democracies from our citizens. Solidarity in going against our own government would not be insulting- but a testament to our connection with our Canadian allies. Most people don’t support Trump.

agreed but we can only do what is before us and yesterday it was a card and a pen that was transformed into a letter to Canada — we can do many things but it starts with what is in front of me — sending a card reduced my anxiety and it was an action and if others join me it may even have the impact of getting some press — of course we need citizen action and we need the democrats to do something — of course — but again there are other things available to each of us that can be done as well — subscribing here was the most powerful for me

I've been trying to get those in the USA to buy some sincere sympathy or get well soon cards to send to their government. I tell them unlike emails or a Change Org petitions just can be ....lost

But letter mail or flowers/teddy bears etc can stack up and not be ignored. I have even suggested that they take flowers/teddy bears or what nots to build a wall around the rep ....that way it is visual and should get on mainstream news like when Princess Di died and royal family was ignoring it ..........just my idea

I love your idea. We could add a solemn march with bagpipes playing funeral dirges around the capitol with everyone dressed in black. Maybe even a few hearses mixed in with the marchers.

What inspires me are the people like you and others who are involved here. We are an army and outnumber the right. We need to find a way to out maneuver their criminality. I’m hopeful. I wasn’t before, but I am now. Especially with see Sheinbaum and Trudeau up at bat. They seem to know how to handle Trumps tantrums.

And PS: I don’t see it as thoughtful as much as using the power of the pen and my singular voice and gift for writing. I’ve made mountains move using that one tool before. I encourage others to do the same. It is the tangible that will be heard by Canada not millions of posts. This is something I’m good at so done.

Thank you very much Raisa for writing to our PM in support. That is very kind, thoughtful and goes a long way for Canadians. Bless you and I wish you the very best in restoring your nation. Thanks again🇨🇦

Thank you. Everyone is in shock, but we will recover there is already a swell of resisting building. I believe in us.

I wrote my letter because no matter what happens it is the relationship with our allies and especially our neighbors that I value most in my life. I am very aware of many heroic roles the people of your country have played over the generations in making a difference for us.

When you came to our aid in times such as our recent fires to me it is not just you coming to offer aid, but your parents and their parents, who have been there for our parents and their parents. It is that long tradition of trust and caring, which I value.

The damage Trump has done is a blight. We cannot let him divide us, but I fully understand you can no longer trust our nation. So, we will do our best to win it back and hope for a reconciliation. I am barely middle class as to income and financial resources; however, I welcome your tariffs. We can rebuild our economy but if taken not our freedom.

I just attended an online meeting of Americans organizing what needs to be done from the ground level state to state. It was my first meeting COMMON CAUSE. There are roles I identified where I may offer help. The strategy was laid out and there are multi layers of attacks coming for our democracy, not only within our government but on the state level. On the state level, for example, there is a lethal movement to interfere and restrict access for voters.

They stated (the four leaders of the meeting) that that is the most frightening and potentially harmful assault on our democracy currently and especially since no one is aware it is happening which they attributed to the fact the assault is quietly in the background and moving very slowly but making progress. Any fellow Americans here please research this issue and get involved in your state.

I agree that a well written statement can move mountains. Thanks for your support of Canadians, who, like Ukraine, didn't pick the the fight with a Dictator. Like the people of Ukraine, we won't be bullied buy the Orange Bafoon.

I've been watching Meidas on a daily basis since Jan 2024. It was like watching a slow moving train wreck, inevitable to crash. I pray the American people stand up to your "Govt Coup", happening right before your eyes and take to the streets if you must. Trump family grifters need be moved from the White House, along with those billionaires with no heart.

Thanks for your letter to our Canadian Prime Minister, cause really, we're all in this together. Good Luck down there and God Bless.

We Americans did not pick a fight with the bully Trump either but apparently we elected him, however, just recently (this is written 6/12/25) there is evidence the election was influenced by Musk including found statements made by Musk leading up to the election. Musk's STARLINK was involved. I have trouble believing it but the source is not one to be discounted. Whether true or not the results did show only a bit over 50% elected Trump contrary to the lies Trump spiels as he writes his own history and re-writes everyone else's history. Ukraine and America are joined at the hip in that it is no accident the two nations are under siege but chosen as the gateways for autocracy to spread around the globe. If one falls democracies across the globe will follow. And there will be WWIII. This is not a coincidence. Ukraine and America were chosen. When history is written if Ukraine and America win their battle it will tell the story backed by facts. But if either loses their battle history will be rewritten to suit the autocrats, a way of governance that oligarchs prefer and have chosen to finance -- it works for them.

I've been thinking of the ditty, from perhaps decades ago, "Blame it on Canada," which was clever because it was satire. I haven't heard (or read) it mentioned. What a perversion Trump is!! This American woman apologizes!! Let us know when it would be appropriate for us to wear the "Maple Leaf." I think back to the 60/70s--all the buttons I pinned onto a jacket... Ready to do it again!

I wrote a letter of support addressed to the offices of Candian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau -- expressing my grief over the damage to our relationship and my support of their actions against the nefarious Trump -- and congratulating them for engineering a way to destroy Trump one which I hope our mutual allies will follow -- we can recover our economy but not our freedom. A tanked economy will sent Trump packing and break up the oligarchs and disable Project 2025. The abused victim spins their wheels constantly adjusting and trying to fix the damage of the abuser. Best to let the house fall down. It is the rats who run first from a sinking ship. We can get thru this. At this point more than half of us are united and that number will grow. I encourage our allies to destroy our economy in the name of helping us rid our beautiful country of Trump Et Al and Project 2025. And believe me I have very little, but I've been thru this before and know I'll survive it as will we all.

I do believe we should boycott his products

Ford is an issue with his StarLink deal.......although I do think the north needs something but does it have to be his?

When are we going to come up with our own connections in the north?

I thought Telus was mandated to do that.........get the connections going to more places?

Or maybe that had something to do with the Shaw/Rogers merger

I'm pretty much boycotting all USA products until the felon is gone
