More steroetypes again.. Americans are against universal healthcare and social programs. While DC might not promote it nationwide, it doesn't mean that all kinds of differnet states don't have all kinds of different social programs - because they do.
Northern states in the U.S. have social programs up the ying-yang. Michigan was strongly more labor-related and everything else to such strong measures, jobs actually moved to Ontario where the labor laws (for the poor people) were a lot more lenient and could be exploited a lot easier. I guess Ontario didn't protect their people enough, so jobs and plants were moved there a lot more easily. Some communist system that was, huh?
Would be funny to hear Michigan people calling Canadians the commies.. but okay.. yeah, if you read some newspaper way down in the Deep South somewhere.. maybe someone once referred to Canadians as communists causing a social uproar throughout Canada and triggered this mass resentment and anger towards individual Americans wherever they may live and regardless of their individual beliefs or commie city - Seattle, Boston, New York, San Francisco, wherever. |
I'm talking about the past. Trudeau has been dead for years. |

From viewing the trailer, it looks pretty self-congratulatory. |

To me it looked like it was going to be both american and Canadian bashing as far as I am concerned. |
