I am not sure if civil war is in the cards, but I do think that Canadians have a hard time understanding Americans.
During the run up to the 2016 election, right after the LPC swept Harper out of power in a landslide, I was wandering around Utah and Colorado with a group of South Africans. They were trying to understand the appeal of DT and we informally polled servers and other people we came in contact with about who they were going to vote for. If I remember correctly it was 60/40 DT/Clinton.
There is a large disenfranchised segment of the american population who will never achieve the american dream. Their response to this has played out in several formes in the last decade.
I don’t think we Canadians are headed to a civil war based on a cultural narrative, but the declining standard of living brought on by the looming energy crisis, current climate crisis, international debt and general lack of leadership is putting a strain on our national identity.
“Empty factories to the east and all our waste
The shape of things that came show on the broken worker's face
To the west you'll find a silicon promised land
Where machines all replace their minds with systematic profit plans
The course of human progress staggers like a drunk
It's pace is quick and heavy but it's mind is slow and blunt
I look for optimism but I just don't know
Its seeds are planted in a poison place where nothing grows”
