Our country is becoming a formal shadow of itself I no longer believe in anything that makes me proud of this country.

By understand your sentiment really I do but the big factor here that you're in Canada you don't have to worry at all about the Orange Menace as you're safe behind your president and it's more responsible government as for us the American we have to survive by ourselves no one is in unity or if they are I don't see it

Either way thanks for the sentiment, regardless
