Oh no, how unexpected. Who would think that the interests of capital and imperialism would take precedent over the wellbeing of the people in Canada?

    How does this affect the wellbeing of people in Canada (except to provide them with jobs?)

    I mean, if it's jobs alone that is a consequence of this deal, I can guarantee you that those jobs are still maintained at exploitational wages. Since it is silly to only think about that, there is also the reality that Canada is subordinated to the US already and its fascist regime has made real threats of violence to Canada. On top of that, Canadians have been detained without cause by this same regime which has taken up disappearing dissidents as an official practice. ICE patrols the 100-mile border zone that Canadians cross every day for work and kinship.

    Canon fodder indeed, chuds love having dudes like you around to fight for them.

    I'm happy for Canadians to be even more dissuaded from going to the U.S.

    This is the Canadian nationalist shit you see when someone has been protected their whole life. You know Americans know more about fighting the US than Canadians do, right? Borders are also, y'know, imaginary, and people formed connections across borders for generations despite you feeling yucky about the US now. How 'bout you offer to pay for the salaries of every Canadian who crosses the border for work or relocation costs for any families who live across border regions?

    So if you're so cozy with the U.S., why care about selling them some equipment?

    Nah, that was their choice to work in a foreign country, which only helps them and not their fellow country folk.

    Just like the ones that went to work stateside when the US dollar was high in late 90s and early 2000s. Then when the dollar went down to par they all cried, "Oh poor me I'm losing my income and having to commute a lot and use too much gas"

    There are consequences to actions.

    Genuinely, go fuck yourself. Like you know a fucking thing about helping your 'country folk' when you'd literally let them get arrested for living in a place where cross-border work is normal. I'd rather be in a place where workers have solidarity with each other than where there's some pompous and hollow notion of nationality.

    Chud.

    You don't seem to be making much sense.
