Just because we do our best here in Canada to not be like our American cousins .... it doesn't mean that a good number of us think, act and believe like our southern relatives.

Honestly, I live in northern Ontario where we shouldn't have so much American influence but it's so strange to meet and talk to outright Trump supporters with 'Let's Go Brandon' stickers, don't trend on me and Confederate flags. It's especially strange when some back woods people I know barely have any knowledge of Canadian politics but enjoy mentioning their second amendment rights and the right to bear arms (both of which is an American thing and not part of Canadian history)
