ESPECIALLY what they said:

"she hates what the United States is doing to us and she doesn't support it. And she's so happy we won the hockey game and it's a little token of appreciation for Canadians and how much she loves us and how much she loves supporting local."

I told one of my two ice hockey loving friends at work this last Friday the same thing... he gave me a weird look because I was cheering Canada on over the US. I told him we are the assholes right now because of how felon45 is treating Canada. He knows I have an affinity for Canada, and that my Dad was from there. I don't know why he was surprised.

Kudos to these fine folks for passing that message along in Windsor, Ontario!
