          Ah. Lemmy shits on Alberta in particular so much I get defensive, sorry. Canadian Lemmy seems to overlook the exact same shit in other provinces.

          Maple MAGA exists, but it’s a pretty tiny minority. Even in rural Alberta most people are pro-Canada.

      Alberta

      To begin with, much of the loud infowarrior rides are also there, trying to import MAGA garbage from south of the border, asides that some of their owners are also avoiding the IRS.

      It’s both. But your point remains, they will always be Canadians, not Americans. It’s curious to me, as a Mexican, that they called themselves Americans. We think of them, some of us at least, as Europeans who took American land for themselves and then usurped the many names actual Americans had with this generic name for white Europeans.
