Protest will be this Sunday. September 13, 2026. See sidebar for list of locations. Just plop the coordinates closest to you into your favourite map software. Let's show up with flags, signs, and let them know how angry we are.
The purpose of this protest is for Americans to take pictures of people protesting against their regime as they drive into Canada. That's all I want from this. Ideally, I'd like enough of those pictures to be posted online to make the news, perhaps even the American news. They need to know how angry we are. Because, I don't think they do. They don't truly understand. That being said, I highly recommend covering your face. Smartphones, especially American smartphones, the cameras specifically, are connected to the internet, AI, and presumably will be going back through American customs. Plus the goal I just stated. I think enough is said right there.
Just to be clear I am not asking to block any roadways or harass anyone. Simply to stand together, in the specified spots and put on a display of our displeasure towards the bullying.
If you're local to any of these areas and have any comment about the location or if you think there's a better spot, please don't be shy to let me know. I'm really hoping to collaborate with more locals across the country so we can get this thing off the ground.
And look, I know my attempts to post about this on Lemmy have been off to a rough start. I'm not really an internet forum person, but like, I'm not some scammer either. I'm just trying to do my part in standing up for Canada. If you think I've been too rude, well maybe it's because I'm angry about this stuff, and being called a scammer. Just imagine you really believed in a cause and were accused of trying to scam people because you tried to spread the word but didn't post about it the right way. I'm only one person trying to rally people together to show our collective anger to the Americans who choose to visit us. There's no other organization or entity behind this, just me, so if it seems like I don't know what I'm doing, it's because it is.
I'm not going to post any other link to any other site. If you use EhNow, I made an event there, if you use hey.cafe, I made a post there. I am not asking anyone to sign up for anything or download any app or click any link. Only to coordinate enough to put on a display of pushback towards the US. If you're interested, great! if not, great, have a nice day. Either way, I'm not looking for an argument.
Let's keep up the fight. Elbows up!
The statistic I think that bothers me the most is how many Americans have the right to own a gun, vs how many have attempted to turn the orange pedo into an orange pedo with a hole through him. Now that is some dedicated apathy. They can organize enough can storm the capital (admittedly with the pedo's help), but when overthrowing their government becomes actually necessary all they can do is protest, without their precious guns, like, what, 4 times a year? What a joke. If they don't care about Canada, that's fine, I'm used to that, but pedo man is fucking them all over 6 ways from Sunday, yet every day is another news story about how he's still alive and saying stupid shit. They're too busy shooting each other in schools and workplaces to take aim at their oppressors. The thought that a country full of armed citizens "can't" do anything about a lunatic authoritarian president is so laughably stupid to me. Every day that goes by and they haven't ended his reign, whether by violent or by constitutional means, my respect for the Americans keeps declining. I never knew it was possible for it to get this low.
