The US is instigating an economic war against the every single country in the world.

Americans pretending to be canadians while abroad to be treated better was already a thing before this happened.

Your reaction of ignoring this problem and acting as if all is normal because it doesn't affect you amplifies the problem.

I've never heard of Americans disguising themselves as Canadians to be treated better while traveling abroad. I just looked into "Flag Jacking," an interesting concept. I travel quite a bit and have never done this, nor would I ever. If people treat me differently, it is a testament to their character. I don't have such hatred and bias toward people regardless of their government's position on certain topics.

There is a problem; it has existed for a long time and it's called complacency and stagnation.
