The Awkward American

A recent conversation with friends brought up traveling in Europe these days.

"Just say you're Canadian" my old Canadian hockey buddies used to tell me.

I love them for the kindness behind their suggestion but hiding where I'm from because I'm deeply ashamed of our current leader just doesn't feel like something I could do.

It makes me feel like I'm dishonoring the memory of some remarkable people in our history just to avoid potential awkwardness.

@mmiasma It's good for people outside the U.S. to learn that actually the majority of us want him gone. In any way possible.
