I’m pretty sure Canada exists because in two wars the Americans couldn’t take and hold it.
I think you’ll find that Canadians are good friends and fierce enemies. We’d rather go without and rebuild our economy from scratch than lose our sovereignty and country.
I don’t think Canada needs you as much as you think, I think that got really clear this weekend when the entire country organized quickly and Trump backed off.
Sometimes I think it better we don’t talk about these things, so that when they reach the Find Out era they get to find out, instead of trying to seize our mines during the Fuck Around era.
He’ll just award himself a few funds from the US Treasury for that.
Cool.
Promises of purging trans and LGTBQ people, firing minorities and women, reducing women’s rights, and mass roundups of minorities, “dictator on day 1”… 100% happy.
Costing companies money, no that’s wrong.
I’m also against the tariffs, but I have trans friends who I’m not turning my back on ever. You can’t look past the shit they promised on the campaign trail.
I’m 50/50 on whether they send a craft to catch up to Voyager and scrub the woman off the gold record at this point.
I kinda want that 100% performative job
I’d probably walk around the wilderness near our borders taking daily pictures of Canadian nature and showing that there’s no fentanyl out there.
Of course if I find any I would call it in.
To a lot of people yes, but I think they’re more worried there’s nothing that proves you’re a real person, if that makes sense.
I see it as a liability more than anything. Your data is forever.
It’s been a long time since I’ve unfurled my sails. I wouldn’t even know the good places to look.
In the long days ago had a bot that would crawl google for mp3 filetype files, then bulk download entire directories full of music. Then that got turned into a honey pot.
Actually I miss when the internet was ammenable to bots… used to have a bunch, but eventually things like Twitter turned off the taps and everyone removed their RSS and json APIs.
Probably, it’s a different vibe and captures a different part of that small town life
Shit or get off the pot Donald.
I’m not going to get bothered waiting for him to go “oh just 30 more days, but now I want this” for 4 more years.
To me, it’s already dead. You don’t put a gun to a friends head, say “give me your wallet, you know what, maybe I’ll kill you anyway, I’ve always wanted you dead, but here’s 30 days” then go back.
You don’t treat friends this way. We can’t depend on America in any capacity anymore.
I want to go around stores putting stickers on the US products directing shoppers to local ones.
Maybe just post it notes so I don’t get on trouble for vandalism.
My dad buys the salted caramel by the case!
It’s too sweet for me, but he loves it and probably singlehandedly keeps his LCBO restocking it.
I’m torn on dumping apple music for Spotify.
On the one hand, they’re not US based. On the other they keep giving Joe Rogan dump trucks filled with cash.
Corner Gas! (Not the cartoon)
North of North is great too.
America: how are you gonna trade now?!
Canada: Boats, boats boaaatttss!
(Sorry guys, I’m very tired and stressed today, and I’m overly excited about the small wins)
There goes Luaxana, embodying how I feel in my core again!
Hopefully never.
I don’t even think he needs any event to declare an emergency, he’s declared everything an emergency anyway with no justification.
Trade with Canada is not a national emergency.
People fight much harder when they have a clear cause and clear enemy.
Right now Trump is giving us one: we’re fighting for Canada, our home and native land. We’re fighting for ourselves, our neighbours, our friends, our families. We’re fighting for our way of life, our healthcare, we fight for everything.
The US is fighting for nothing. Even MAGA conservatives don’t know what Trump is doing. Sun Tzu teaches that is the weakest position to fight from. The US people will falter before a unified and galvanized Canadian front will. Our backs are against the wall and the only option is to fight.
My family came from a small northern Ontario mining community. Times were always hard there but people looked after each other. My grandma grew her own food to stretch their budget. She took in boarders who needed a place to stay and shared what she had. They made do with little and everyone supported each other — that is the Canadian spirit that makes this country great.
Now it’s our turn. I’m supporting whatever our government decides, I want us to fight back tooth and nail. I want to support all the Canadians who are going out of work, and the Canadian businesses that are going to struggle, I’ll pay more taxes to support them, whatever is needed. I’m not buying American products wherever possible, local first always and forever after this. Anything but American. I’m increasing donations to my food bank. I need to start volunteering too.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
That’s generally my point as well. Except this time Trump’s been going on for over a month saying he should annex us and then doing bullshit like trying to make this trade impossible.
Also three days ago Trump said there was nothing canada could do. He’s a terrible business partner not worth appeasing.
