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

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

🤣

sounnnnnnnds familiar

Actually, the announcement was made BEFORE the tariff talk

oof

So it started getting tough to talk about the prospect of a US-Canadian trade war without some folks claiming it went against the "Tone down the anti-Canadian sentiment" announcement
