I live in the U.S. Well, sort of — I live in New Orleans and we have a different culture. But even I’m buying Canadian when there’s an option. I always rooted for Montreal sports teams or, if none exists, Vancouver anyway. (My Vancouver connection is because Pavel Bure was a beast in NHL 95 on Super Nintendo and I always picked the Canucks.)
Now it’s 100%. I found myself rooting for Canada in the four nations hockey final. Might as well bring back the Expos. I lived in DC for awhile so my Expos to Nationals fandom transitioned seamlessly. Well, they’re firing half of DC’s workforce and are cutting $1bn from the city budget. Move the Nats back to Montreal. The people need summer Youppi now more than ever.
I’ll still root for the U.S. Women’s National Team in soccer but that’s about the only thing I’m patriotic about these days. Trump fucking with Canada (and Mexico and Europe) is a disgrace.
Well, one of the board members is his brother and the rest are loyalists so probably not until a shareholder revolt.
