If this is what it takes for Canada to finally start diverting its economy away from the US,

If this is what it takes for Canada to finally realize the US doesn't see us as an equal,

Then bring it, orange piece of shit. Your move.

My wife, who doesn’t follow politics, makes a point now of checking every single item we buy to see if it comes from the states.

I live in a pretty right wing rural area and all the businesses are promoting Canadian goods and dropping American swill.

Even in urban areas, people I know have started moving away from american-made. I was buying beer the other day and had made a choice but then noticed it denoted "American Hops". That went back on the shelf haha.

Here in Texas, lots of us been looking up to y'all for a long time. I don't know anyone, other than frothing conspiracy theorists, who looks down on Canada.

This isn't "the US" treating you as less than, this is our government welcoming you into the fold and treating you more like how they treat us. Don't let them.

I gotta keep telling myself the world isn't going to end from this. It's not like planes are going to start falling from the sky... fuck.

@HiddenLayer555 how do you think this will impact the #liberal leadership & general #elections?

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I can't say for the liberals, but hopefully PP and Danielle Smith will oust themselves as traitors and people stop buying their bullshit.

[–] ricketyrackets@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

They are traitors. Smith has already shown she’s sympathetic to the Trump administration and she’s going down for the prayer breakfast on taxpayer money, and PPs meeting with private healthcare companies in the U.S.

They’re both sellouts, and massive losers.
