USA desperately needed planes diverted on 9/11, our airspace was shut down, Canada was right there for us, to take on massive unknown risk not knowing if planes had bombs; Canada entered WWII, years prior to the US, barley spoken of yet they stood tall without hesitation to fight for freedom and for QEII's funeral it was the Royal Canadian mounted police who were first in procession, a massive honor bestowed by the Queen, and much more. We can still banter with one other as always have + Canadians know that sane Americans, do not represent this madness!
Compares Canada and US historical actions (9/11 response, WWII, royal honors) to frame Canada positively while expressing solidarity with 'sane Americans.'

One malicious Superpower in Eastern Europe brutally invaded it's neighbor \nand has led to a bloody war in the Ukraine. .\nOne 'friendly' Western Superpower launches a catastrophic economic war \non its neighbors, threatening to put their economies in a stranglehold using \ndevastating tariffs. \n\nPutin brakes the agreements he signed during the Minsk treaties in 2014-15. \nTrump breaks the USMCA agreements (formerly NAFTA) he signed in 2020. \nBoth Superpowers leverage their economic and military power to demand \nsubmission in order to extort concessions, and possibly more territory.\nJust how much difference is there,, really?
Compares Trump's tariff actions to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, drawing parallels between two superpowers' use of coercive power while questioning moral distinctions.

How about the Emigration problem?
Immigration from another country is one thing;
Losing a worker to Emigration is another.
This is what happened in the Netherlands:
After the war, there was massive unemployment.
(since not everyone is fit to work in construction)
So we sent 5% of the country away, mostly to Canada.
Most everyone who emigrated was fit and of working age.
A lot of them where farmers.
Twenty years later there was a massive labour shortage.
Our country needed fit men of working age.
So we got immigrants.
Compares Canada's immigration situation to the Netherlands' historical experience with emigration and labor dynamics, using international comparison to frame the issue.
