Synopsis:
“Canada Is Not the 51st F**king State” is an anthology of essays, interviews, stories and artwork by an assortment of contributors resisting Donald Trump’s aggression against Canada. Trump’s 51st state rhetoric came as a shock to Canadians—and to many worldwide. His threats are no joke. This convicted felon’s attempt to choke us out economically stands—for the moment—as his preferred means of conquering Canada, his hostility and contempt for us scowling in plain sight. The contributors to this book demonstrate that we are not now—not ever—going to become a part of the United States. A variety of perspectives, including those of an Indigenous artist, a retired soldier, a doctor and others, show that we excel in areas of humanity in which the United States lags behind. Our worthiness stands on its own merits, Trump-led belligerence be damned. “Canada Is Not the 51st F**king State” aims to embolden Canadians to use all cultural and political resources to withstand Trump’s onslaught of aggression.

So, we've had a most interesting and somewhat disheartening first week promoting "Canada Is Not the 51st F**king State" on FB.

According to the "likes" for our post, support for Canada’s sovereignty is much greater than the resistance (1100 in favour to 175 opposed). But you would think, in looking at just comments, those numbers were the reverse. It’s shocking and disheartening to see the opposition's hatred directed at us personally and more importantly at our beautiful country - Canada!

For whatever reason, the detractors have decided that supporting Trump and Trump-like ideas makes it okay to attack fellow Canadians with the rudest of prejudice.

Somewhere north of 90% of the comments are from those who are opposed to the book. This is, of course in itself not a problem until their comments become unnecessarily hateful and mean spirited. We have been called Liberal c**k suckers, libtards, fascists and communists at the same time (?), drug addicted hippies, etc., to being told to take our book and shove it up our butts. Oh, and apparently we suffer from some made up illness called, TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome.)

We deleted the extra rude comments....as for the rest we defended ourselves and our country to the best of our ability. Here's the link to the original post, should anyone feel like having a scroll down that ugly lane:

Sooooo...let's be clear! Canada Is Not the 51st F**king State IS NOT about the Liberal party or party politics at all!

Canada Is Not the 51st F**king State is about resisting Trump's aggression and his 51st state taunts. PERIOD!

One final thing to point out about the book: it takes care to point out that there is no axe to grind with Americans (at least
not with those who did not vote for Trump). Tens of millions of good people live in the United States - some of whom are friends
and family. We hope that one day the US government will work at mending fences with Canada.

Here are some facts about us, and about the writers:

· We are a small Canadian independent publisher and bookshop.

· We hired independent Canadian writers and artists to create this book.

· This book was/is a passion project. It is our small way of contributing to the protection of Canada from annexation.

· It's a book that shows appreciation for being Canadian and shows the unique differences between Canada and the USA.

· The writers and artists of this book are lovely and talented people from across the country and they deserve respect!

Finally, We LOVE Canada and care deeply for our country, and our community AND we definitely DO NOT want to become AMERICAN!

Stay Strong Canada!
Peace & Love to all!
Cat, John & Chester (the kitty-cat)
