    Elbows up, Canada. I’m so happy to see the Neighbors to the North take little shit from the Bully Cowards to the South.

      Canadians can do a lot better.

      Until I see bigger lineups at A&W (A&W Canada is actually 100% Canadian, no royalties or anything to the USA) than McDonalds, Burger King, etc, not even close to being a start on the way to good enough.

      I can see lots of people checking labels, but we need to get back to “US apples rotting on Canadian shelves” levels of action again. I want to hear more about US businesses begging Canadians to come back. I want to hear Trump threatening Canada for being anti-America. I want it to be crystal clear where Canada stood.

        I highly recommend Guard the Leaf on YouTube (yes I know).

        He features what you’re looking for all the time.

        You’re not seeing as much US produce rotting because less places are buying it now. Last winter we were still dealing with having to not choose US oranges, but this winter the grocers have found alternatives. I’ve had plenty of South African oranges and cantaloupe this winter.

          That’s fair I’ve seen a lot more non-US produce lately. But there is still a fuck-ton of it on the shelves. Apples and lettuce being two big offenders where I am. And…yams? Been dying for a goddamn yam for months but apparently only the US knows how to grow a damn yam.

          There are great Canadian greenhouse lettuce growers putting out awesome product now. I hope we can see those guys selling out while the $4.99 head of lettuce from Ameristan turns brown waiting for a buyer that never comes.

          Choices matter people. Every single one.

        The good news is, some airlines are canceling flights to the Untied States due to lack of demand

    As an American I thought it would be much worse. 75% or more. We have been shitty neighbors. Seriously, threats, tariffs, insults, etc.

    Can’t even blame you. Even if we suddenly fixed our crack head behavior one day then what? Are there still cultural forces that will lead us to just start stealing the wires out of the world’s walls in 4 years? How long until until “somehow crackheads returned”?

    It wasn’t supposed to be like this. We were raised to be different from the dumb shit that came before. I wanted to be a good neighbor and build a future that didn’t seem shitty to bring kids into.

    It’s because, as a culture, the place is chockablock full of highly dangerous morons that are totally out of control.

    The country is led by a pedophile rapist murderer. That’s who they chose to rule them because they are that fucking stupid and crazy.

    And sure half of them are like “Oh what can we do?” Nothing apparently, especially when you CANT ALLOW YOURSELF TO ACCEPT THAT ITS YOUR MESS TO FIX.

    Fucking get your shit together

      And the “bOtH SidEs ArE tHe SaMe” crowd can take a proper punch to the head too right about now. In fact they are long over fucking due.

        I mean, i get the argument that they are both beholden to the same billionaires.

        But yeah only one of them would happily kill civilians for cash.

    Honestly… all the USA “peacekeeping” was always by protecting their interests in oil.

    Fake News! Your great President, ME! has been the most peaceful President in the HISATORY OF THE COUNTRY. 8 WARS SOLVED - TRUMP, MANY MORE PREVENTED -TRUMP. Even the winner of the last Noble Peace Prize says TRUMP should have won it. Lowest crime in 150 years. Strongest Boarder in HISTORY. I even won the NEWEST, MOST UP TO DATE PEACE PRIZE. None of this would have happened under CROOKED JOE BIDEN, the worst and MOST CORRUPT President ever. The FCC should look into this ENTIRELY CORRUPT and BIASED FAKE NEWS organization. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump

    Canadian here. Usians: make sure everyone you know understands that this is no joke. I live rural, I’m a socialist pinko but I live surrounded by rednecks, and we have conversations about insurgency on the regular. We have many, many Ukrainian refugees here.
