If this is what it takes for Canada to finally start diverting its economy away from the US,
If this is what it takes for Canada to finally realize the US doesn’t see us as an equal,
Then bring it, orange piece of shit. Your move.
I don’t think anything brings Canadians together like an enemy, and right now the US is an enemy to us.
Fuck Trump. Fuck the US. Buy Canadian.
Now is the time to help out our fellow Canadians if you’re able.
I have three grocery stores in town. Freshco, Save on, and Superstore. Two are canadian owned but Save on’s owner is a giant asshole who lives in Vancouver, Superstores owner is a giant asshole who lives in Toronto. The Freshco may be american but at least the owner of the actual store lives in town and is taking the time to point out the Canadian products in the store to people. I will do what I can to cut down on american food but sometimes eating takes precedent.
The US has had a stifling effect in its closest allies and partners for a very long time. I am not anti-US historically but the fact is no smaller country can hope to have an equal relationship with a super power and we have all lost locally developed technologies, businesses and capital to the USA to our detriment because the US pushed their interests over those of their supposed friends.
I am very much in favour of developing closer defence and trade relationship with small and middle power around the world and reducing US dominance. Trump may unintentionally be the best thing to happen to US partners and allies for decades. Btw am Australian, not Canadian but I suspect these feelings are widespread amongst US allies
Good. Let’s let Americans see what a disaster this election was. Mistakes aren’t mistakes without consequences.
Oh, fuck you. I’m an American, and so are over 75 million Americans that voted against Trump. The majority of the votes cast were not for Trump.
But go ahead, keep attacking all of us. Let’s see where that puts the disenfranchised people. Hint: it’ll 100% grow his support.
First, he won the popular vote. Also, are we all pretending a non-vote doesn’t count for anything? Ignoring all the purged voters and fuckery, anyone who voted for Biden and not Kamala really voted for Trump as far as I’m concerned.
Trump wasn’t an unknown this time around, everyone was well aware of what was at stake. I feel like you’re trying to find some cope. But hey, I get it. Maybe I’ll be there if PP becomes prime minister.
Please have some empathy for us that didn’t vote for this shit stain of a republican coalition and are most likely to be hunted for sport in the next year for our choice of pronouns 🙏
I’m trans so I’m in the same boat - angry and terrified.
I’m sorry brother, as your sister though I’m wishing th best for both of us, but let’s prepare to fight the worst. 💜
On Caturday of all days. He’s gonna have a hard time “clawing” this one back.
This comment is an absolute gem.
I’ve been told some instances break this, and some mobile apps, but doing the above embeds your picture or gif directly into the comment:
yeah, i used to use the image markup but it ended up broken too often. for what it’s worth, both render the same mbin

This is a FANTASTIC time for folks to start supporting Canadian made brands and avoid giving money to US companies - and that includes US companies doing business in Canada. We send a TON of money to the US via Amazon, Netflix, etc.
I’ve been really enjoying CBC Gem lately. North of North is a fun sitcom about life in the far north with a fantastic cast. Son of a Critch is also gold.
A good time to visit https://lemmy.ca/c/buycanadian Hopefully there’s some more activity over there in the near future
Good luck with those gas prices, pals. A bunch of people with unnecessarily large pickup trucks are about to get hosed.
Self-sanctioning.
Interesting, it kind of is. You could also say he is raising taxes.
