Yeah he's American now. They can keep him.
- They’ll likely deport him eventually.
- We don't want him. Russia could use him.
While accepting the Juno win for country album of the year in March, he said he was proud of being Canadian, but suggested it was on his fellow citizens to find common ground with the U.S.
We had found common ground with the U.S. We were good friends, trading partners, and allies. Then Trump and his sycophants tore it all up and demanded more. Fuck 'em.
Being a country singer from Burlington is so fucking funny to me. Like, that is the most middle class, suburban place you could possibly live. The entire city is just an endless sea of overpriced chain restaurants. This man has never smelled manure in his life.

  Sure he has, every time he opens his mouth.
In case anyone feels bad for ragging on someone trying to apologize. He's not apologizing he's sorry you don't like that he went out of his way to shit on Canada.
Ross posted a statement to TikTok on Monday afternoon saying he's "sorry to anybody who's offended" by his comments, adding that he felt the video gaining attention was taken out of context.
"Fun fact, real quick. I'm Canadian," he says, gripping a flagpole in his hand.
"You want to know the best fun fact is I moved to the best ... country in the world and I love it very much."
Fuck this twat. Fuck off back down to Nashville and stay there.
"The best" by what metric?
They aren't better in any metric when compared to developed countries: not happiness, not prosperity, not education, not healthcare, not rights and freedoms, not democracy, not science, not crime rate... 🥱
