As we celebrated our nation’s birth on Sunday, our American friends spent Canada Day on Twitter apologizing to Canadians for the behaviour and general existence of Donald Trump. A very Canadian gesture indeed.
Between Trump’s buffoonery at the G7 in Quebec and his stoking of a trade war across the North American continent, dozens of Americans made it their mission to let us know that they’re sorry for their president’s lack of diplomacy.

Ah, the fascist rage punk phase – classic high school behaviour.
Dear Canada: So sorry about the mess downstairs, eh? Please forgive us: we’re going through a fascist rage punk phase. We’re working on it. In the meantime, thanks for being a beacon of hope, compassion and progress for humanity. Love, Sabrina ❤️🇨🇦🍻#CanadaDay

Turns out we’re actually a pretty difficult country to buy presents for:
Happy birthday, Canada. Sorry I didn't get you a gift but what do you get a country that has everything? And by everything I mean: health care, gun control, gay marriage, compassion for immigrants, sane leader… #CanadaDay

Much better than that idiotic wall:

Some used the occasion as a cry for help…
Happy #CanadaDay, my Canadian friends!
Also, someone Canadian, please adopt me. Please. I beg. Let me out of here.— Julia Lepetit Wants You to Vote (@JuliaLepetit) July 1, 2018
While others were content to turn in a few dad jokes:
@realDonaldTrump wishing you a tariffic Canada Day!

If there’s one thing you can always expect from Canada, it’s that we’ll be here as a shoulder to cry on.
Happy #CanadaDay to our friends to the North. Thank you for supporting us still in these difficult times! Enjoy wonderful celebrations.

With our neighbours to the south celebrating their day of national pride today, perhaps we can return the niceties and apologize for… Sidney Crosby?
