This headline is subtly dismissive.

"Angry" and "right now" both suggest a transient state. That's not what we're seeing.

"Canada has finally had enough of the USA" would be a more apt title; or "Canada reaches its breaking point."

Alongside of the #Never51 hashtag is an almost equally frequent #NeverGoBack. Canada, as a nation, as a people, are making the decision to go their own way, and never be so beholden to any country as we have been to the USA since 1959.

Never. Go. Back.

What happened in '59? Avro Arrow?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

The other thought I had was NORAD but my quick googling points to 1958 for that, and 59 for the arrow.

another one issue that I considered was the King-Byng affair, but that was in the 20s
