Sorry for mention politics here, but after The Annoying Orange insulted you guys, I just want you to know that the vast, overwhelming majority of us here in the States still love you guys, and I hope you know that most of us hate him.

Don’t worry too much about bringing up politics, I don’t mind it.

Yeah, it’s just a lot easier to focus on the problems sometimes, I think? Like, sure, the majority are against him, but the ones that aren’t are a vocal minority.

“is that he gets less (and generally better) publicity in the USA.” That’s definitely true. They’ll occasionally mention something dumb he did, but they’ll usually just talk about him when he disagrees with Trump on something. It’s like the French president; I’ve read that a growing number of French people disapprove of his policies and what he’s doing, but here, you only hear about him when he badmouths Trump.

Oh, this has been here a while now. Oops. But yeah, that’s what I perceive it as, and I’m glad it’s not just me.

TBH, I’m American, and from what I’ve seen, Trudeau seems to be much more popular and liked in the US than he is in Canada (though in our defense, literally anyone, even Doug Ford, looks good in comparison to Trump).

My best guess, though please remember I’m a certified idiot and not that informed compared to like, 90% of the people I know, is that he gets less (and generally better) publicity in the USA. Meanwhile, we have to live with whatever his decisions are, so we end up hearing a lot more of it (and living it), if that makes sense? It probably doesn’t, honestly.

That sure is an interesting US visit. As for me, I’ve been to Canada before, specifically Vancouver and its surrounding areas. Lovely city/country and wonderful people. The only thing that makes me nervous about going back someday is the thought of how some of them might treat an American after the election of you-know-who.

I’ve never been to Vancouver or anywhere around it, despite having family there. We’ve planned it a couple times, but plans always get cancelled and we head to New Brunswick instead. (On the bright side, I know a very nice motel in Fredericton. And a few other nice places in surrounding areas, though it’s seemed emptier in recent years.)

Slightly random thought, but I think that the 80s are becoming the new 50s, for two reasons: 1. the 80s are viewed as the new “nostalgia decade central” that the 50s used to have, and 2. the 80s are getting a reputation that the 50s have where the aesthetics are great, but the decade itself wasn’t so great.

Hey, random thoughts are the best thoughts!

Wasn’t there a post about that, actually? I think I saw one a couple months ago. Something about how time periods that were around 30 years ago is when they come back into relevance, or something like that. Like, it’s long enough ago that it seems distant but recent enough that…. Something. I dunno, I can’t find the post (if someone does, please let me know!). But I’m pretty sure it’s a real phenomenon!

A few decades down the line, I’m sure people will look back on all of us as having interesting aesthetics but terrible worldviews for whatever reason.

This got me thinking a bit, so thank you for sharing. ❤

Have you ever visited other countries?

Technically, yes. I spent like, two hours in a small town in Maine, USA one night. But everything was closed, so we didn’t get to see anything besides the inside of a Wal-Mart. I want to travel more in the future, but my mother has organized every trip I’ve been on and she has this anti-plane, pro-road-trip agenda. Personally I’d rather go somewhere far away and get there faster, but she prefers driving to New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
