ANGUS: Elbows Up, Pete
Charlie Angus - The Resistance - September 24, 2025
EXCERPT: "The MAGA ambassador (Pete Hoekstra) to Canada is at it again — gaslighting our country and blaming Canada for the poor state of Canadian-American relations. He claims we are anti-American and points to our aggressive language with terms like "elbows up.". . . . .
Hoekstra is from Groningen, (the Netherlands) and in the spring of 1945, people in the region were starving. The Canadian 2nd Division was determined to get through to free the people. But there were so many refugees in Groningen that the Canadian military decided not to use air cover or artillery to protect our boys going in.
That meant our soldiers had to clear out the machine nests and snipers of the SS and panzer grenadiers without cover. We lost a lot of good young men in the brutal house-to-house fighting.
The people of the Netherlands have never forgotten the huge sacrifice we paid to free them. But Mr. Hoekstra seems not to have learned the lesson of the cost Canadians are willing to endure to protect liberty.
So the next time Mr. Hoekstra gets up in front of a microphone to call the people of Canada mean and nasty, people should point out to him that he needs to be thankful that the young men of the Fort Gary Horse, the Calgary Highlanders, Le Regiment de Maisonneuve and the Canadian Black Watch were as mean and nasty as they were. Otherwise, he would have grown up under the Nazi boot.
Canadians are nice - until we're not.
Elbows up, Pete. It's time to pack your bags and go back to MAGAland."
