And since you is a citizen of canada now, do you also take the popcorn for stories like this?

"Suspect in Canada Terror Attack Had Been Ordered to Leave U.S." https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/world/canada/canada-terro...

Glad that someone funneling money to terrorists is a cause for your celebration though. At least it makes someone besides the terrorists happy.

Clearly we lost a charmer. I'll be sure to write my congressperson.

"taking the popcorn" is not a celebration. I am sorry you felt that way.
You should take it out. As a native english speaker, I've never heard an idiomatic expression involving popcorn that didn't imply "happily awaiting entertainment."
Done.
