    Idk I don’t think most Canadians have ever had much respect for Americans.

      Canadian reporting in-only partially true. I have next to no respect for America the institution but I care about individual Americans just as much as my neighbors down the street.

      We play your national anthem when you visit because it costs nothing to make you feel welcome while you visit us.

      Trump being an asshole doesn’t mean we have to change our values. Kindness and mutual respect shouldn’t be transactional.

      In their defense, not even Americans have respect for Americans: I mean, look at the shit stain we just chose to represent us.
