True. Probably the sentiment is based on real feelings of real people, but I see this easily could be used to by a foreign power to further push the divide. There’s reason to look out for that.

That’ll teach them!

But at least you saved enough quid to fund the nhs

There might be a big difference in how Canadian government deals with this and how western-european governments do. Sounds like far-right is hijacking the subject, where as here the far-right used to be pro-trump and pro-putin and now have to stay quiet in order to keep their voters from walking away.

Our government is being realistic (If you ask me) about changes in defense, but only the opposition is questioning things like the government being dependent on American cloud services and American financial systems. Nobody in the government seems serious about supporting EU initiatives over the status quo. That’s why I’m ‘happy’ these at least these warnings/updates are being released.

I read something like the travel (or air movements?) between us and Canada decreased 70%, so issueing some kind of warning/update wouldn’t make much sense anymore anyways

I agree with you on the not going along with russian bots and giving space to their propaganda. I’m not pointing to wether you should be concerned of what is happening within the United states, but about what is happening between the us and it’s allies. This split is not caused by russian bots online, but by the current us government. I agree Russia is likely involved, but the answer in not staying quiet. You can call this echoing anti-American propaganda, but dismissing it as such makes you vulnerable to tolerating this split happening as opposed to moving against it.

Yeah true

There hasn’t been much press freedom in Turkey for years now, so it’s not like yesterday was better time to be alive or smth

What’s the name of that country in the middle of the Netherlands?? Can’t seem to remember.

I didn’t reply to you because of how evil the USA is or isn’t but because I wanted to stress to you how big the change is that is happening. I assume you’re American and dislike anti-American opinions, I’m fine with that. I also don’t like it when people don’t like my country or my people. This is not personal, I’m not anti you. But I do think you are wrong that these travel updates are just a social media hype. The friendship between US and other western countries is under severe pressure, that is not just an opinion.

These warnings are what ministries of foreign affairs (= government officials) give out to their citizens. Newsweek is neither based in Norway nor written in Norwegian (it’s US-based), so saying it looks like something based on this single source isn’t adding much weight to your argument.

Extra context from the second paragraph: “President Donald Trump’s latest attack on the working class was delivered in the form of an executive order late Thursday that seeks to strip the collective bargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of federal government workers, a move that labor rights advocates said is not only unlawful but once again exposes Trump’s deep antagonism toward working people and their families.”

It’s not like there is only the option of ‘no warning’ and ‘a warning’. These government warn people because they foresee a potential danger for their citizens. What makes this a big deal is that these warnings come from countries who are allies and used to have similar values. The fact that they don’t believe you are safe is one thing, but they basically also say they can’t use their diplomatic means to keep you safe and that really is imho why this is a very serious sign that the global order is shifting.

In general these warnings are not only for lgbtqi+ folk, but also for scientists and critical journalists. Think of other countries where those people aren’t safe, they are not western democracies like the US used to be.

Canada please decline this offer until a sane generation is old enough to vote, the current ones are broken

It’s his own fault, turkey doesn’t do press freedom for a while now 🪦

They also figured out my pincode is 0000, der Spiegel is on a roll!

Macron proposed a multi-speed Europe, with countries like Norway, Switzerland and UK being of the lowest ‘speed’. Totally think Canada should apply for that 🇪🇺

Thanks, gonna save this argument for later 👌

I remember when this decade started and me and everybody thought if we could just get rid of covid everything will be fine again.

You don’t have to like her choices in order to accept her making her own choices, why choose if you can do both?
