Thank you Canadians, this is how a true friends reacts, they dont normalize bad behavior.

Mexico is on board reach out to them and just have a MC agreement! Work with the UN to prevent this from happening again, because clearly the USA can't be trusted

I already signed up for mail-in voting. It was easy

You can also do advance voting at any time at your nearest Elections Canada office! I voted last Saturday.

That’s so true - empty sections of cranberry sauce, tomato paste, pasta, etc adjacent to fully stocked American items are such a telltale sign lately.

We got that habit from Europe. I think it was Denmark who did this first, and it's so easy.

What are you saying, that you care more about doing right by your own countrymen than you do about harming your perceived enemies??

Canada is a relatively small country. Strategic partnerships are going to be critical moving forward but creating some distance with the US is a crucial first step as it is no longer a reliable trading partner.

The US was by far the greatest financial benefactor of WW2, in part due to geographic isolation, allowing it to sell weapons to its allies without having its factories destroyed by warplanes, which in turn allowed it to collect 80% of the world's gold supply and set its currency as the global standard. As a nation, it played its hand / leveraged its newfound wealth exceptionally well in the post WW2 period.

It made sense to have a strong trading relationship at the time, given the proximity and that the war allowed the US to amass a disproportionate amount of purchasing power.

It seems that the US has decided it does not want to lead the world any longer, despite its economic might. Hopefully there is good that can come of that.

We need to, it remains to be seen whether or not we will. Don't forget, a huge number of us are still shopping american. If this situation goes away, the convenience of trading with the US could easily take over again. People lack conviction, integrity and have short memories. It will take a long-term, concerted effort by the majority of the populace and multiple governments to maintain our trajectory away from US dependence. I'd love to see it happen, but I have little faith our fellow citizens have the constitution to stay the course.

Donald Trump never watched Due South.

BTW the entire series is available on YouTube.

Thank you kindly.

Hot tip. If you bracket something with tildes (~) just the one either side, you can make it a smöl ~pp~!

I don't think it's just Canada either. I get the feeling that a whole lot of countries are reevaluating their relationship with the US and US made goods. And the way ICE and border patrol are behaving, I think it's likely that overseas tourism is going to completely dry up in less than a year. Hell, even interstate tourism is likely to take a significant hit.

Agreed! Also, "O Canada" is way, way, better than "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Depends on the path they take. If they just "wait it out" we'll all be dead before Canadians go back to the way things were. If they hit some kind of breaking point and drag that rapist prick and his sycophants out of their White House in leg irons- I would be willing to negotiate an expedited process.

Trust is hard-earned, easily lost, and difficult to reestablish.

It will be in a few decades as a best case scenario. It's not even about Trump specifically. The world will have lost its trust in the US public to not vote in chaos, now that they've done it twice, for the forseeable future.

Might only be 40. Long enough for the current generation of leaders to die off.

I don’t think you understand how this works. This isn’t to turn the eyes of his mindless minion loyalists to the light of reasoning Nope. Not at all.

In fact, all the evidence one needs to prove that they are completely fine to just sit in the dark and have others tell them what they are supposed to think, lies soundly in their inability to know how not to elect a fascist dictator that will ruin their lives.

So no, it’s not about trump’s loyalist goons.

Boycotting American businesses causes those businesses to put pressure on trump’s gremlin-hive of an administration. It sends a very clear message that his idiot-coated actions have real world consequences.

They may be too ignorant to notice but once their country is in the toilet, they'll feel that

And no, it is not Canadians doing that. The clown they chose for President is taking care of it all himself

Oh please. Maga business owners in Kentucky are definitely feeling the pinch. Its doing its part.
