I am critical of wrongs, no matter what country I am in. The USA has a large cohort of citizens who have no desire to change things like accepting healthcare is a right, not a privilege, unlike most other civilized countries, like Mexico, Germany and Canada. And dozens of others. Often that same cohort expresses strong anti-abortion views, unfettered gun use, and the dominant religion should prevail in government and society. I can't support that, nor can I support the prevalence of the USA interfering militarily in other countries, sometimes on the weakest of excuses. Really, Grenada? Was that really necessary???
You claim to be a highly-principled and morally superior Canadian, yet despite your self-professed extremely strong morals and your many misgivings of America and it’s citizens you still come here yearly to vacation anyway. You do this whilst simultaneously soapboxing and speaking down to Americans about historical events that occurred here long before any of us were born. And despite your claim of fair criticism, you are never to be seen in your own country’s forum here, discussing its own problems.
You are a pretzel of contradiction and confrontation, serving zero purpose but to antagonize American citizens here. I’ll call you out for this fact every time I have the opportunity.

I think that we all should be grateful that that individual can't vote here. I just wish that these foreigners would mind their own business and stick to affairs within their own country. I put that individual on my ignore list as I refuse to argue with them. They're just not worth a second of my time.

In other words, you don't like facts been presented to you? I don't speculate about issues, and the fact they are uncomfortable to you, should perhaps be a signal that I am right.
In Canada, I can legitimately take part in the political process, unlike in the USA. I am well versed in how to do that, having appeared before both House and Senate committees nationally, and have had many direct meetings with cabinet and other elected officials at the provincial level. In the US, I am effectively restricted to hoping to discuss issues with the local council and mayor, and thankfully, they are open to listening. They don't have to, as I can't vote for them. Perhaps it helps it is a smaller city, and they see municipal concerns as everyone's, not just citizens.

The place I pay more taxes IS my business. I just can't vote.

Oh yeah? Well I’m King Flippy Nips, ruler of Pluto.
MAGA hat wearers seem to have much in common with extremists on the right; extreme fundamentalist Christians, extreme racists like the Proud Boys, extreme militias, extreme misogynists and other misfits of society.
Proof? See pro Trump rally in D.C.
Pretty difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff, isn't it, with those MAGA hat wearers.
People coming to vacation here in any large city a few months ago had little chance of seeing any of the above you type about. Yet, EVERY big city had protests, riots and lootings for all to see. BLM and antifa were everywhere.
Social media definetly has a part to play. I think Facebook should cease to exist. Isn’t good to live in our own echo chambers.
Personally as I get older I just get more and more tired of the really stupid. We live in an era with a wealth of information at our fingertips (assuming you can remove yourself from your echo chamber).
I agree. I’d love to see Facebook and Twitter gotten rid of.
Forums like this one can also be divisive, but at least our posts aren’t “shared” where they spread like wildfire.
