    I don’t know what you’re trying to get me to say but your country has repeatedly threatened us (Canada) with annexation and has tariffed us to the point where people I know are barely holding onto their jobs. The thing that angers me the most about it is the fact that Americans don’t even seem to consider the annexation threats a factor in why Canadians are angry at them. The amount of propaganda your country pumps into its people means that a majority of even the most progressive people are thoroughly brainwashed into believing that getting to be American is actually a blessing

    I can assure you that I don’t have anything nice to say about the US no matter the hypothetical scenario

        I can’t answer any of your questions unfortunately. I don’t know what repercussions the UK winning the war of 1812 would bring but my uneducated knee-jerk opinion would be that I think North America would have been better off as individual colonies turned countries rather than massive states. I think an EU style system with much smaller countries would have prevented what the US became. But again, that’s just my uneducated opinion and I haven’t put a lot of thought into it

        For the communism stuff: I am not nearly well read enough about it to recommend anything
