Americans in Canada hope midterm results will help mend ties between both countries

When Lucia Lloyd immigrated to Canada in 2019, she thought she had moved far away enough from President Donald Trump’s America.

She said she was already upset when Trump first took office in 2017, but the president's controversial nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court and the judge's subsequent confirmation amid sexual misconduct allegations was the last straw for her.

“So, that was the day that I started researching whether I could move to Canada, and it turned out to be the end,” said Lloyd, a Virginia native who is now a priest at an Anglican Church in Bowmanville, Ont., east of Toronto.

Ever since Trump launched the trade war with Canada in his second term and mused about annexing the country, Lloyd said she has been "horrified" by the way the president has treated her adopted home and Canadians.

“There is nothing that Canada has done to deserve this, there is no advantage to doing this," she said in an interview. "It's just Trump's own personal meanness to go around insulting allies and trading partners and friends on this side of Lake Ontario."

That's why Lloyd said she was thrilled to see the Democrats' sweeping victory in Tuesday's midterm elections, which she hopes will put a check on Trump's powers.

Screw that. If the price of better relations is we get a bunch of Democrat cucks who will roll over and let them continue to freeload....and throw open the border to the entire 3rd world that is definitely not worth it.

When enough Canuck Boomers die off and the younger Canadians get tired of flooding the country with 3rd worlders and of house prices being so high they can never buy a house...and oh yeah, they don’t have any jobs either, they will get rid of Carney and get rid of the liberals. THEN we can have better relations with Canada.

Misplaced birth.

Stay in Canada.

I suggest she moves to Churchill, Canada and go play with the delightful fluffy polar bears.

“Lloyd, a Virginia native who is now a priest at an Anglican Church.” You do mean priestess (Isis, Astarte, Cybele, etc.)?

"...There is nothing that Canada has done to deserve this, there is no advantage to doing this..."

Yes.

Nothing to deserve this except for taking advantage of the US goodwill and generosity for decades by refusing to spend money and defend themselves, having up to 200% tariffs on US goods resulting in $40 billion dollar trade deficits every year for the US until Trump came into office, stabbing us in the back for virtually every conflict fought since the beginning of the Vietnam War by siding with our enemies.

Eff them. All of them. If they are in Canada, they aren't Americans. Period. They can shove it all up their anuses. They have no say.

And anyone who buys into this crap on this forum is in bed with those losers who have chosen their side.

Screw her along with Blowsey Ford and her made-up allegations against Kavanaugh. And Canada can go to hell too, we can live without their Molson and hockey sticks and we’ll make ou own cars and pump our own oil.

Anybody who would leave their country for such ridiculous, transitory reasons is nuts.

“Mend ties”, more like they want America to roll over.
How about F you!!

“Blowsey Ford” — The gal who said she was so traumatized by Kavanaugh that she only feels safe with two front doors? The one with greasy glasses? Who made some accusation about Kavanaugh at a party where there were red plastic Solo cups? The woman is certifiably crazed.
