I didn’t vote for the FELON or f ELON. Prime Minister Trudeau will you allow Michigan to succeed to Canada?? ??????\nAs a highly educated Michigander who has spent over 5 decades enjoying the beauty, kindness, culture and hospitality of Canadians visiting Thunder Bay, Ontario, Toronto and so many other beautiful places with my parents, siblings and now my children, I am heartbroken that it has come to this. Please know that Americans do not support this clown and his GOP lackeys. We love you and you will ALWAYS be our neighbors. Resist, we understand and support you even though it will cause pain. ??????

I'm an American whose ancestors came here in the 1700s. I apologize and I did not vote for Trump who should have been put in prison a long time ago. Everyday he does something against our constitution. Even an idiot gets it right sometime. But he is not a complete idiot. He is an evil savant.
First-person account of ancestry and political stance, combined with moral judgment about Trump's constitutional violations.

I was going through college in southern Ontario about half a decade ago. The faculty was alright but the one that always stuck with me was an elderly Indian man who had a PHd (what he was doing teaching at a community college, I'm not sure). He immigrated from India sometime in the 70's, I think, and sometimes told us stories about how he'd never seen electricity until he was well into adulthood. This was at the early stages of Indian mass immigration to the province, but the international students were already becoming a known problem in the school. They never spoke to anyone else, hung out in big groups together on campus, I swear most of them couldn't even speak English. They constantly cheated on everything and shared answers, I heard like 7 of them got failed for submitting identical lab reports one time. Most people knew they were a problem, but no one was comfortable saying anything. Except the Indian professor. He would publicly call them out for shit in class, berate them, shit talk them openly to other students. I've literally never seen anyone more angry about those Indian students than that Indian professor. It's not hard to see why, he busted his ass to immigrate to Canada, get work and get into a good university. He completed a doctorate, for Christ's sake. He didn't see a street light until he was 25, and worked his way to the bleeding edge of digital science. Now there's a bunch of lazy assholes invited in by the government brazenly trying to cheat their way to a degree in his goddamn class. I'd crash out too.
Extended first-person account of college experience with international students, framing them as a problem and expressing demographic/cultural concerns.

I was a republican. I voted for DT, but regret it. He's right, this is a dumb thing to do. If we alienate our allies, we won't have any when we need them.

I’m a NEVER Trumper. A ?in a red state. Trump does not represent me nor my morals and convictions. I was physically ill watching him and his pup Vance absolutely bully President Zelenskyy. I’m sorry that this is what half of the country voted for. I’m disgusted that I had family and friends who refused to see him for who he is. I’m so sorry to all those who didn’t vote for him yet we will also be aligned with him. I greatly appreciate you Prime Minister Trudeau. Thank you to those in other countries that realize not all Americans wanted this. Not all Americans bowed a knee to him. Thank you for your kindness.
First-person account of emotional distress and political identity, combined with moral disapproval of Trump's behavior toward Zelenskyy.

Yo Tyler, I know you won’t read this and doubt you remember me. Went to the same high school in Modesto and you knew a few of my friends too. You’ve fallen so far since those days. How far down you’ll climb for content is sad. Modesto don’t love you like that. Those around you gassing you up, telling you you’re special and you make a difference are lying to you. Find Christ, find a purpose, hit the gym, do something productive. But do something else mad, it’s just sad. You’ve aligned yourself with people who have devious, self serving intentions. Think harder man

Its just the uneducated Indians and immigrants who come to Canada that are messing things up, my parents immigrated to Canada from Pakistan, both my parents are from well educated families. When they came to Canada my dad got a job as a engineer and my moms a house wife, they are well assimilated to the culture of Canada and speak good English, they still practice there religion but don't force it down peoples throats. These are the types of immigrants that Canada needs not uneducated rats who don't know how to respect the people and country that welcomed them in the first place.
First-person account of immigrant parents' successful integration, used to distinguish 'good' from 'bad' immigrants based on education and assimilation.

These rednecks had generations to make something of themselves. That one poor looking white guy in the beginning should be ashamed of his ancestors for not making his life easier. My dad came in 1974 from India and worked his ass off. Drive a truck, taxi, and worked construction. Now I’m a CPA and my brother is a bloody doctor. No joke. In 1 generation. That’s how it’s done. It’s their own fault. They couldn’t make something of it, so we will. If you don’t like it, then just do what you tell us to do: get out.
Commenter shares their father's immigration success story as a lived experience while making identity-based claims about work ethic and belonging.
