Honestly saying it once was a big political risk. Like usual, Hoekstra can dream on.

As long as we boycott the shit of the us, and stop bending over the barrel for them. We are making America a slightly less shitty place
Okay, but I'd like to make both the US and Canada more compassionate and less harmful places to live. I don't see how a Neolib who has expressed many times that he does not intend to challenge the fascism in the US (even excitedly tried to jump on the Iran invasion) does that.
I get a lot of you wanna feel like you're some freedom fighter for buying Hawkins (which is the superior product) instead of Cheetos, but the truth is that the common interests among propertied classes in the US and Canada is going to trump whatever kind of effect you think you're having. Booze and tourism seems to be the most hard-hit, and afaik, that shit's peanuts compared to the fossils fuel industry that the US is singlehandedly extending the life of and Carney is all in on.
Edit: thread below demonstrates how fucking helpless most Canadians are to even recognize their position in US imperialism. Many of you seriously think of yourselves as activists or fighters for doing selective consumerism. The Canadian state is a subject of US imperialism, you can't rely on the paternalism to fight for you. Canadians have never had to sacrifice for their way of life, and you can tell.
Hey, every little bit helps. You can't call down people for not doing enough. Most people are just working stiffs. They are not a canny, political force, nor should they be. I willingly accept any effort made.
Reread the comment.
There's no war like class war
White Canadians believe they're in on it, they'd rather be responsible investors and become landlords. They didn't care about US fascism or imperialism until it effected them in the most marginal way, they don't want anti-US-imperialism to effect Canadian imperialism, they don't have the heart that you need to even acknowledge class warfare.
I'm often disgusted by Canadians.
It's more of a human, capitalist thing than it is a national thing. You have the right to be disgusted by any large, nebulous group of people though.
Cool, cite four books you've read on anything you just claimed.
they also exported the worst canadians, j peterson, TED RAFAEL cruz,,,etc.
When my partner and I went to do my taxes this year, the guy at Liberty kept talking about how great investment properties are and how we should look into getting one to have a stable future.
My partner made under $20k last year. We rent. It was frankly insulting.
I dont disagree with what you say. But when Americans are not really doing anything about a guy who has invaded other countries. And wants to do so with mine, its expected that we will be prickly.
Dear Canada, Please don’t feel obligated to help the US be “great again.” Please protect yourself and don’t trust the US.
We are, but if we can convince US business people that it is their best interests to not attack Canada, that will also improve the state of things.
Even better if those business leaders can be convinced to use their (bought and paid for) influence within the US government to get that government to stop attacking Canada.
It's strategic. Mango Mussolini doesn't actually understand any of this, but if you repeat his nonsense back at him, he claps and leaves you alone for a while. Then you can do whatever you want while he's distracted.
The Feds signed a contract with Palantir ffs, this is not "strategic"
