From the USA. Hoping Canada stays strong and resists this unflushable turd

When you have an unflushable turd, you need a plumber ;)

Yeah, as much as I hate it I think the best outcome comes from us suffering

I am so glad our government (Canada) hasn't immediately rolled over.

Say what you want about Trudeau, his speech tonight was pretty good and presented a strong response. Kudos to the speech-writers.

I'll live on local food (and cheap rice, beans from non-US sources) as much as possible for as long as it takes. Looking forward to seeking out "Made in Canada" labels while shopping in the months to come.

Maybe this'll finally be the event that causes Canada to drop those ridiculous internal tarrifs and trade barriers.
