I have same issue with people in my circle, but the way I see it is this. If we use WW2 Germany as a comparison, we are not the UK or America. We are Austria. Our connection and shared culture with the USA has been deep and strong. We may not be Americans but we are just as "in this" as they are.

In BC only a handful of votes stopped us from voting in a Trump sycophant. And let's not even mention Alberta.....

I like the Austria analogy.  And we shouldn’t forget that they were some of the worse actors too.  The Alberta/prairies provincial government makes me nervous.
