    I’m, uh, curious. Protesting what? To who?

    Like, I get that the American government has been exceptionally shitty, but I don’t see what a Canadian protest is gonna do about it.

    I pray that we’ll return to being a reasonable neighbor asap. I promise we’re feeling it more than you are.

      I don’t see what a Canadian protest is gonna do about it.

      It reminds any Canadian still spending time or money in that shitstain of a country, that they are openly supporting fascism.

      I hope to protest the belligerent, destructive foreign policy of the United States and make it clear to all concerned that in the opinion of the people of Canada, that the United States is an adversary, no longer an ally and not a country that can be trusted or taken at its word.

          I don’t pray for my government to do things, if that’s what you mean. I do things like vote, and protest when the big country next door threatens to make me part of the 51st state and constantly and relentlessly bullies and insults me.

    OP says that this is a link from ehnow.ca but the link in the post is from ehnw.ca which is missing an “o” and that is very common on fishing attacks.

    I wouldnt click on it until OP explains why the domain name is different.

    Looks like the content is locked behind a login, any way to make this visible without signing up?

      I suppose not. Ehnow is a Canadian social network though, found on Tod Maffin’s unplug America site (which I don’t have the link to right now but just search for it) it’s not like you’d have to sign up for some Zuck Meta crap. I don’t even use social media normally but I sign up anyway to give the site one more user vs the 'murican sites.

      Edit: I changed the link to a screenshot you that you won’t have to log in to see what this is.

    Wow, does this ever read like a false flag. Download an app, give them you phone number, and then go cause a fuss at border crossings to “have your voice heard.” Uhuhuh

    What is the action this protest is designed to elicit, and how does this protest harm the interests of the person/people who can change that.

    I feel like this would be more effective if it were held in the US. Maybe the Target parking lot in Amherst NY outside Buffalo where there are regularly still Ontario-plated vehicles every weekend. Target and Trader Joe’s evidently are more important than sovereignty for them.

      Trump would love this; he’d sic ICE on them and call them terrorists.

      “Canada INVADED us to try and shut down our country in collaboration with ANTIFA! They’re nasty and OUT OF CONTROL! Governor Carney isn’t doing anything about it so we might have to step in to get things under control again…”

      They’d all get moved around the US to limit the effectiveness of protesting at any one facility and then they’d deport most of them to some other country just to be dog cunts about it.

      But that would require Canadians to cross the border, and we aren’t doing that these days.

    it’s all right here on Lemmy where you created a free account on a Canadian website

    Someone should let OP know how federation works.
