Also something I don't hear said enough is: with boycotts, anything is better than nothing. If you really can't live without Coca-Cola, that doesn't have to stop you cutting down on everything else. Just making the small effort on the shelves to check the label goes a long way.

Lol, all the USA exports is junk. Social media that's bad for us. Food that's bad for us. Drinks that are bad for us. On an individual and societal level.

At least of partial blame is all the franchisee's of those fast food places claiming "100% Canadian owned and operated" (I've seen these signs) and people falling for it, meanwhile they tithe back the licensing fees for the franchise.

Don't forget Tom Hortons is US owned now and if that's not enough maybe their Harry Branding on everything right now can help, I see Tim Hortons Harry Potter trash all along the roads lately.

Most of that crap is just licensed American IP produced locally. Cutting it out isn't even going to be as impactful as other things and will harm local manufacturers and suppliers.

Boycotts need to target direct things. People have been making those choices at the grocery store quite effectively. Liquor and oranges. Web services need to be the next target with government support. Tax Netflix and friends into paying into our culture as they always should have been.

He was medically a moron before he had a small stroke. Now he shits himself constantly, can't remember which country ending in N he started a war with, and can't name the president of the United States as far back as 2025. If it wasn't for Steven Miller animating his corpse, he'd be in a burn pit under 6' of effluent already.

Dementia

Lots but I don't think this move isn't crazy or wrong from the perspective of his material interest. He's sending a message to parts of capital that aren't under his thumb / he isn't under theirs, that he'll hit their bottom line unless they materially pledge allegiance. He's trying to engineer capital flight from Canada that could hurt us enough to get us to fall in line and allow resource and market access to his side of capital to exploit and profit from our labour and natural resources. Would it work? I hope not but I wouldn't disregard the possibility.

If he's serious about this, we might see him manufacture some terrorism or drugs excuse to slap massive tariffs, perhaps even sanctions on us. As his chances of losing the senate and the house in 2 months keep growing, this shit is getting more and more about his survival, so I think the chance that this not being hot air is growing.

He's demented and was never very bright to begin with

those nations aren't, never were.

dipshit donny is the one 'ripping us off'.. all of us.

When a dotard like donnie the dumbass hears a term like "trade deficit", he assumes something untoward is going on.

But that is probably one of the most idiotic takes one could have. But donnie is not the only one...

Accuse others of what you're guilty of.

Trump is a fraudster through and through. He accuses everyone else of ripping off the US because he's ripping off the US.

If it was gonna happen, it would've happened by now.

Trump now brags that his administration brought egg prices down.

Wait I thought it was because that stupid bitch he has in his cabinet told everyone to raise chickens in the backyard that they don't necessarily have?

Just like when he took credit for Walmart price drops?

Just like when he took credit for the state of the economy within months after sleazing his why into the white House the first time?

I wonder if there are any Canadian organizations, non-profits, that would like a complete copy of the Epstein Files, unredacted, to analyze? I've read that Drumpf is in the Epstein Files, and surely an independent Epstein Files analyst with unredacted Epstein Files documents in hand could locate a Trump within them easily. Make that the Trump-Epstein files, since we're renaming things.

He's afraid the Epstein files are finally going to hit the streets.

Like many leaders before him, he's going into a critical election weak. He thinks he needs a win to look strong. Iran is a big pile of shit for him, so he's looking to other "easier" targets.

He doesn't understand Canadians at all.

He's trying to turn your attention to it.

The man isn't playing 5D chess, he's fucking sundowning

There's no way anyone would think moving to the US is an advantage.

Moving a company headquarters is a 5 year plan.

It's extraordinarily unlikely Trump will be alive in 5 years.

No one is going to continue these stupid tariffs after he's gone.

Depending on how you define a superpower… that ship might have already sailed.

Because he is still a useful idiot.

That's what happens when you ask the Republican party to police themselves. Let's see if anything changes if the Democrats manage to grab a lever of power but there's been a lot of institutional damage

2nd.

it's coming in February, if they 25th him any earlier it will burn up one of JDs two terms as president.....

do you want your kids getting shot at in school? because this is how you get your kids shot at in school....

I believe he's referring to the fact that Canadians belong to North America and people forget this and interchange the terms America and the United States of America.

Trump doesn't have a ballroom. At least not yet. heh

Companies have figured out that you can move to economically ravaged conservative hellholes and just not offer any benefits or sick time at all!

These same hellholes recently made it so even if you are completely broke and on government funded healthcare, you must work or volunteer for little or nothing to keep it! The labor force is shifting to folks working for minimum wage or less to keep up long term care, and prisoners working for third world wages, with the rest just trying to keep from joining the first two groups.

This comes up a lot these days, but it's pretty standard in Canada and the USA to call the USA "America". It's not just a Trump thing, or even just an American (from the USA) thing.

In Canada we would never say we are in America. We would say we're in North America, and maybe "The Americas". But saying we're in America would sound to us like you're saying we're part of the USA. And absolutely, without a doubt, we would not call ourselves "American". That is 100% reserved for people from the USA.

So I understand where the rest of the world hears the word "America" being thrown around by, well, Americans for lack of a better term (USAers?) and thinks it's weird, but in this context, saying Canada is in America is actually kind of insulting to us Canadians.

It's particularly weird when speaking Spanish, where saying someone is Americano is often used for anyone from the Americas. But at least they have "estadounidense" (basically "united statesian" which I've never heard anyone say in English). But they also use "norteamericano" (North American) specifically for people from the USA. Ugh.

Driving me wool-harvesting crazy!

The *MCfree trade agreement. Beautiful name. Strong name for a strong agreement. No other agreement has ever had such a great name. Believe me. A man - very strong man - told me, tears in his eyes, "Sir, this is such a great agreement." Can you believe it?

But an actual issue for anything is a lot of "US"-based companies have moved manufacturing to Mexico. Under NAFTA agreements. So, all former goodwill be dead and all.

NAFTA largely benefitted us both, although there were some problems - though from everything I can tell, the upsides far outweighed the downsides.

Republicans in general have been behind most of the rise of fascism and shit, with Trump being even worse on top.

Believe what you like, but you're throwing the baby out with the bath water on that one.

Nothing I'm saying defends Trump or the fascists being stupid and shooting not guns but bazookas at our own feet and firing those bazookas wildly everywhere and shitting on everything.

And to keep up with demand they’d be cutting corners to the point all of it would be tainted with deadly pathogens

Soy milk is good too!
