If foreigners want to commiserate with us and add color to our conversation, that's appreciated, but I don't think it's their place to initiate the conversation.
Point taken, but the United States, Canada, and Mexico share the same continent and U.S. politics, economy, and policies have an outsized impact on our neighbor's well being. So it is not unreasonable they would be VERY concerned about our nations governance and stability particularly in light of COVID-19, which like any virus, pandemic or otherwise, has zero respect for national borders and Canada in particular has the vast bulk of her population in close proximity to the U.S. What happens in D.C. has almost as much effect on Canadians and Mexicans as what happens in Ottawa and Mexico City respectively.
That said, constant repetition does not further the conversation, and to me this thread has become less and less interesting other than as a place to vent anger and frustration. And that venting is a totally non-productive substitute for getting active in our respective communities and working to assure Trump is a one term president.
As for our friends from North of the 49th and South of El Rio Bravo, they can help by encouraging their Prime Minister or President to stand their ground in the face of Trump's bluster and demand cross border cooperation and coordination of the world wide fight against our common enemy COVID-19.
If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
