POTUS in Canada, "Je suis américain", "parlez vous anglais", " voulez-vous vous asseoir à ma table?"
Hi @Old_Joe Agree and appreciate your comment. The three of us and enough others here don't have as much time remaining with our life clocks to waste on the useless stuff. My attempt at a "funny" with this post didn't cut it with Mr. Chicago area. An, oh well from Michigan. Take care of you and yours. Catch
Speaking/thinking about our Canadian neighbors; some of you may be interested in a short mini-series (1997) how Canadian engineering was front running the world in design of sophisticated aircraft in the late 1950's. You'll be pleasantly surprised, and be sure to read the informational near the end of the film, just before the credits. The movie is available via this link, as well as a 57 minute documentary. Good night. Catch
We are likely all proud Americans. We dream a common dream of success for ourself and for our Country. Agree with his policies or not, President Trump is the same in that regard. The John Stewart song Mother Country captures that spirit and is very entertaining. Give it a try.
Punch in "John Stewart Mother Country" and give a listen. There's a ton of truth here.
@MJG "his policies?" What "policies"? Are you accepting his infantile temper tantrums where he reverses and contradicts what he just said the day before as "polices"? One of the main problems is that he has no "policy" other than self-aggrandizement.
I’m proudest when we as Americans treat each other with dignity and respect and when we support our friends around the world - particularly those who have stood by America in the past. (Hint: It ain’t Russia.)
2. “We dream a common dream of success for ourself and for our Country.”
Success has different meanings to different people. To some that might mean excellence in the arts, literature. or higher education. To others it means wealth acumulation. And to still others success means military might. All are very different measures of “success.” Not all Americans esteem these various measures of success equally. Nothing “common” about them. But nice attempt to reduce a complex subject to the simplest common denominator.
3. “President Trump is the same in that regard”.
I’m lost here. But if you mean he and I share a common vision for America, I strongly disagree.
4. Music?
Brow-beating NFL players whe knelt during the National Anthem in protest against police brutality, calling them “SOB”s and saying they don’t belong in America strikes me as a peculiar attitude towards music. I’ll pass on the suggested refrain.

As I speak and read Canadian, too; I appreciate your use of "ooot" and "eh".
A pleasant evening to you and yours.
