I feel like Canada is about to have a "Ukraine"-moment. [View all]

Belarus, Ukraine and the Russian Federation all descend from the same medieval ethnicity Russ, which is where the word "Russian" comes from. So, they are in fact related but have diverged into different cultures.

The Russian Federation has always looked down on their neighboring countries as losers and failures. You are the center of the friend-group, you've got the money, the career, everything. Everyone is trying to be just like you and that gives you power over them and allows you to belittle them even further.

Until someone says that they no longer want to be like you. Suddenly they have new interests and something better to do than constantly fawning over how GREAT you are.
This motherfucker is actually trying to break up with you and live a life that does not involve you. A life in which he has THE GALL to reject the life-advice you so graciously bestow upon this loser as bad advice................. How dare he?



The same is happening with Canada right now.

Canada was always the loser-neighbor, the misfit-sibling, the cheap knock-off of the oh-so-great US. And now they are emancipating themselves. They are tired of trying to be your friend and being belittled BY YOU for being nice TO YOU.

So they stop trying to be like you, being friends with you. In fact, just down the road there is a neighborhood of actually nice people that has culturally much more in common with Canada than they do have with you.

So, Canada has new interests now. Is making new friends.

Stops caring about what you say, and you want, and how you live your life and what you have.





Mark my words: There will soon come a time, in a few months to years, when people in the US will take GREAT OFFENSE to Canada moving on and pursuing their own life and their own interests.

How dare they live a life that doesn't have you in it?
