    Hey, Canada is an American country, in that it’s on the North American continent. This could be called America first, if you want to be obtuse about definitions,

    MAGA doesn’t care, they’ll gas light themselves into believing Canada is the 51st state, just like they think Mexico paid for a wall.

            What a trash mentality you have . It is like saying it’s ok to be a criminal associate because even if there is no associate the criminal would still commit his crime. You are ok with people getting harassed and abused by ICE and think being human who care about that virtue signaler? Virtue signaling is just a dumb term used to shut other when you have no real arguments.

      They’re protecting us from all those immigrants who rob, rape, and murder us whenever we leave our homes.

      I’ve been robbed, raped, and murdered three times in the last week, and I’m getting tired of it. I need to get ICEd up.

      Alternately, do sell it, but make sure it’s guaranteed to fail and become an expensive paperweight upon first use. I’d prefer your option, but I’ll take mine if I can’t get yours.

        The failure option is better because it takes money from their budget and sends it to Canada, even if it’s to a soulless corporation.

    Hey Canada, if you could sabotage these somehow so they’re useless and ICE becomes easier targets for American citizens that’d be awesome.

      According to another comment on this thread they are Ford trucks, so it might be hard to tell the difference between sabotage and just plain Ford-iness.

      Canada is a big weapons supplier to Israel, the modern day Nazis. If that does not break their code of conduct nothing will.

        Canada’s code of conduct is “We’ll fuck anything up for money.” See also our mining corporations, oil companies, etc.
