The UK outright feared the prospect of a victorious union spinning its guns around 180 degrees to point north immediately after the war
We needed to manifest that destiny boyo
Someone tell Justin Trudeau that Manifest Destiny is an annexation of peace
lol
WHO THE FUCK PUT SWEDEN UP THERE
excuse me
WHOMST'VE
canada is just a runaway state
change my mind
Canada's historically filled to the brim with former British loyalists
which gave rise to a distinctly anti-American culture
And a distinctly anti-republican culture that put it at odds with most of the rest of the Americas
along with the human garbage known as the quebecois
There's a reason they were never invited to the Rio Pact
woke
Dude are you a history buff or something?
And a reason they weren't among the founding members of the OAS
my god I always learn something when you talk about this

I'm actually a major reason the /r/AskAnAmerican Discord server had a moderator announcement to tone down the anti-Canadian sentiment
???
This sounds like a fun story
goodshit
what the hell?
🤣
@RMS_Gigantic gib story

Basically, I started posting those memes about annexing Canada, and it turns out that it was a really fun bandwagon for people to jump onto
and it actually became a really frequent direction for conversations on the server to go
Manifest Destiny memes and whatnot
lol
Throw in some IRL politics talking about strained US/Canadian trade relationships, and the anti-Canadianism reached a point that some Canadians on the server ended up uncomfortable
Which is fair
so the moderators put an announcement in the rules section that read, in part, ```Alright guys, it has been decided that we are going to cut down on the "Annex Canada" jokes/memes for a bit. We have been told repeatedly by many users that it tends to be spammed quite a bit, derailing channels and making new users uncomfortable.```
I can take the shenanigans but it only goes so far before it starts getting a little dum
and sounding more like a "you're X so stfu" than a gag
🤣
