'We'll Fix This': Some Americans Celebrated Canada Day By Apologizing For Trump

[syringis]

There are running jokes about how often Canadians tend to say “sorry.” But on Canada Day, it was the other way around, with some Americans apologizing to their northern neighbor for the actions of President Donald Trump.

Even as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced new tariffs in the escalating trade war between Washington and Ottawa, some in the United States took to Twitter on Sunday to say sorry:

Happy #CanadaDay!!

Thank you for bearing with us during this highly embarrassing time for our country.

Happy Birthday, Canada!

I know we suck as neighbors right now & if you build a polite privacy hedge along the border, we’ll totally understand.

Thanks for being a beacon of hope and leadership in the face of American tyranny. We’re proud to call you friends. 🇨🇦#CanadaDay pic.twitter.com/ToEyDp9zhR

Happy #CanadaDay, my Canadian friends!
Also, someone Canadian, please adopt me. Please. I beg. Let me out of here.

1. Just got back from a week in the Maritimes...

Everyone we met from Saint John, NB to Halifax, NS were not only incredibly friendly, but universally declaimed Trump and offered us their heartfelt sympathies.
