We don’t grow a whole lot of fresh green veggies in the winter.
Right now I have lettuce, fresh herbs and fresh tomatoes that were grown in greenhouses in Alberta.
We don’t grow any citrus fruits whatsoever
A lot of other countries that aren’t attacking us do, though.
.
Nobody said this would be easy, but that entire list is stuff that we can get elsewhere, can make ourselves, or that we can survive without until we can find a friendlier source.
While it is an extensive list, none of those are things that we can’t get elsewhere, or that we don’t already make ourselves.
Or things that we can’t do without for a while.
I appreciate the sentiment, but please gather together with your friends and neighbors and fix your country’s shit.
No, I don’t have a step-by-step plan to give you, it’s your country, you should know better than me what’s effective where you live.
Can you screenshot that or something. I can’t see it without the Facebook account I refuse to have.
That’s what their advertising wants us to believe.
Sounds like Mexico is also going the targeted retaliation route.
I expect coordinating the reaponses for maximum impact was a big part of the extended discussion Trudeau was having with the Mexican president that delayed the start of his announcement.
Would you vote for government to take away more of your money, pay a higher sales tax, higher government fees, higher income tax for all people, to pay for helping needy people
I have done in the past and I would do again.
Trump doesn’t care about Smith, he doesn’t want to lose $upport from the CEOs of ExxonMobil, Chevron, and the other petro companies.
Which means Canadians will lose their jobs, they will be out of work, and some companies in Canada will not hire because there’s not enough sales to hire anybody new.
We know. But that’s Trump’s fault for starting this stupid fight.
Or are you suggesting that we just “shut up and take it” like a good little rape victim?
If so, fuck that. We’re kicking him in the balls.
And another at Stornoway…
I almost never watch Canadian news, but I did this once. And I was really pleasantly surprised
Far too many people fail to watch the news about our own country.
Not staying informed about what’s happening in our own country is part of the problems we have with divisiveness.
American Exceptionalism makes it hard for a lot of Americans to have an “are we the baddies” moment.
The National Post is notably owned 98 percent by US hedge funds, as are most of the rest of Canada’s newspapers,
That said, there are still Canadian owned papers, such as the Winnipeg Free Press.
In addition to being the province’s largest daily paper, it also offers digital subscriptions, for anyone looking for written news that isn’t foreign owned, or is interested in supporting an actual Canadian media source.
Demonizing Russia needs to end.
Not until they get their military the hell out of Ukraine and start acting like reasonable members of international society.
Meathead Ron and his dumbass policies
Yeah, I’m sure that’s also a contributing factor.
But Agent Orange and his speed run of Project2025’s agenda was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Yes, but it costs more (in Canadian dollars) to go there and actually use that second home.
I expect the chaos that Trump is creating, and his threats against Canada also play a significant part in their decision.
How many reasons do they have to give you before you walk away from facebook?
A lot of Canadians have to wait exorbitant amounts of time to see a doctor
As always, you hear more about the failures than the successes where everything works the way it is expected to.
Nobody would think of writing a headline saying “everything worked normally today”.
It’s almost entirely things that we also make ourselves, or can get from other, more friendly countries.
Or things that we can comfortably do without for an extended time (playing cards and jewelry, for example)
