    As a Canadian in Japan, McDonald’s is one brand I had a difficult time saying goodbye to after your Shit president threatened our sovereignty, because I genuinely used to have a good experience everytime I went. Clean store, polite staff, decently cheap food, and cool collabs with Japanese IP like Pokemon and Mario.

    I’m sad my kids don’t get to enjoy a treat there every now and then, but fuck the USA right now and anybody who supports the shitty administration.

      Yeah if you’re cool with torturing and murdering animals, supporting genocide, destroying the planet… McD’s is pretty sweet! Especially for the kids!

      Why would you subject yourself to living in Japan as a Canadian with kids though?

          Every Japanese I have met in Canada (mostly in Toronto and Montreal), that had young children, say that it’s very unwelcoming in Japan. And if you or your children are mixed, you face racism too. Again anecdotal, the number of these people I have talked to was only three, but they all had the same opinion. This included a couple that went back to try again a second time but then ended up in Montreal again.
