Lyrics: What’s our life and freedom worth When a tyrant seeks our earth, Aiming to subdue our land with greedy hand? But we’ll stand against his might, Canada won’t yield this fight, And we’ll shout across our free and sovereign land:

Go home, Yankee! Yankee, go home! Keep your deals and go back home. Say “goodbye” to your grand schemes, Don’t tread on our hopes and dreams. As our anthem proudly sings, Canada stands! Go home, Yankee! Yankee, go home! Keep your deals and go back home. Say “goodbye” to your grand schemes, Don’t tread on our hopes and dreams. As our anthem proudly sings, Canada stands!

Trump and his cronies proclaim Canada should play their game, “Join us as the fifty-first state”, they demand. But our spirit won’t be sold, Freedom’s worth more than their gold, We’ll resist their grasp with every steadfast hand.

Go home, Yankee! Yankee, go home! Keep your deals and go back home. Say “goodbye” to your grand schemes, Don’t tread on our hopes and dreams. As our anthem proudly sings, Canada stands! Go home, Yankee! Yankee, go home! Keep your deals and go back home. Say “goodbye” to your grand schemes, Don’t tread on our hopes and dreams. As our anthem proudly sings, Canada stands!

Yankee, learn our northern ways, We won’t bow to your displays. When looking at our land, close your greedy eyes. Try to force us, and you’ll find Canada’s not yours to bind. For the True North strong and free will always rise.

Go home, Yankee! Yankee, go home! (You gotta) Keep your deals and go back home. Say “goodbye” to your grand schemes, Don’t tread on our hopes and dreams. As our anthem proudly sings, Canada stands! Go home, Yankee! Yankee, go home! Keep your deals and go back home. Say “goodbye” to your grand schemes, Don’t tread on our hopes and dreams. As our anthem proudly sings, Canada stands!

      I think it is partially.

      The original is an East German song called “Ami go home”. The lyrics for the Canadian one might be AI generated. The song definitely is (cuz of artefacts present in the audio)

    Go Home Yankee?

    After 157 years of friendship, with it spending 1.3% of Canada’s GDP on defense, allowing for things like “free” healthcare for all your citizens, living under the protection of the American defense umbrella for the last 75, growing rich on trade, living free, then someone writes a song targeting all Americans, not Trump or even Republicans, which is stupid enough, but then y’all think it so neet you post it, and upvote it? Ok. My memory is long.

      Americans complaining that other countries have universal taxpayer funded healthcare. Like bro, the only thing stopping you is your stupid politics.

      Sorry, but who’s the only country in the history of NATO to invoke article 5. Oh right, the US. Also, please don’t pretend you didn’t make an ass tonne of money off free trade, don’t blame us cause your governments, on both sides of the isle might I add, blew that money giving the rich tax breaks instead of building a healthy social saftey net. Fuck off with your American exceptionalism.

      1. The USD is the global reserve currency. What it means is, that you guys can print more USD, put it in your own economy by devaluing the rest of the world’s reserves. This means that you can inflate away all of your debt. This means, that you can take a lot more debt than whatever the rest of the world can. The rest of the world (us included) has allowed you to hold this power (not out of selflessness obviously, but because there’s a symbiotic relationship going on). Remove your military umbrella, and suddenly the need for you to be the reserve currency vanishes. This means that you actually have to pay back the trillions of dollars of debt that you took for your war mongering (Vietnam, Iraq, etc.).
      2. Your President is threatening the very existence of our country. We have no idea if we’re going to be another Ukraine. Instead of protesting strongly in the streets against this bullshit, you are here lecturing us because you felt offended?
      3. If you think that you are subsidizing us or whatever, you are plain wrong. The relationship that we hold is symbiotic. Both of us gain equally from it, and both of us need each other equally. Your President that the majority of Americans elected in, threatens our very sovereignty. What use is your generously given to us “defense umbrella” if the very threat to us is you?
      4. Our universal healthcare is there despite us spending less percentage of our GDP on healthcare (11.2% in Canada vs 16.6% in the US in 2022). So please turn your rage towards your own government instead of us.
      5. As for defense, we could have quite easily developed nukes (fkin India used Canadian nuclear reactor tech to develop their own nukes). The reason we didn’t is because Americans didn’t want their allies to have nukes. We trusted you here just for your government to bring up the 51st state bullshit.
      6. The tariffs that your government enacts affects all Canadians. If Trump pulls a Putin, ALL CANADIANS will suffer. So we’re soooo incredibly SOOOOOOORY for this shitpost, okie?
