Ella Heyder is bracing for a breakup, even though she already moved out decades ago.
She’s contemplating cutting ties altogether with her home country, the United States of America, and President Donald Trump.
“I’m quite disturbed by what’s happening in the U.S. under Trump’s regime. It’s a fascist, imperialist regime,” Heyder said as she and others waved signs outside the American Embassy in Ottawa during what has become a twice-weekly protest against the current U.S. administration.
“It makes me a little bit ashamed. It makes me feel very sad,” she said.
For decades, Heyder has carried two passports. While she grew up in Norfolk, Va., Canada has her loyalty, and she figures a permanent split is inevitable.


Good, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. The rest of us real Americans will continue to fight for a democracy. Fascists only win if everyone gives up.
Yeah? How’s that working out for us, huh?
You’re not doing shit.
lol “organizing” lol “protesting” lol it ain’t working.
Ya got me. I’m sitting on my couch playing video games.
So much for being a “real American”
Time for direct action
