  • Governor Newsom should look to his own affairs first.

    I wonder, if we were threatening their sovereignty, openly and repeatedly, would they come visit us? No, they’d be losing their minds. I see California as one of the less outrageous parts of the US, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to suddenly give up my integrity and self-respect because they need my business.

    If you want Canadians to travel to the US, get rid of trump first. It’s not entirely a moral issue anyway, it’s genuinely dangerous for foreigners now. Why the hell would I risk my freedom? Because I feel sorry for their economy? No thanks.



  • Officially, Canada is an SI unit country. Canadians have a habit of using lbs and inches in everyday life, which is sad. I have been using only SI units for quite a few years now, but it definitely takes work.

    To answer the spirit of your question: yes, I have re-affirmed my commitment to using metric. I have been angry about imperial units for a long time, I’m just more angry now.

    I would be enraged. I wouldn’t do anything except be enraged, because I’m a law-abiding person and spend a lot of effort remaining that way.

    I would want to react in certain ways, but it’s just not worth it.

    I’ve seen a couple of trucks recently on my commute with trump flags/signs. It makes me exceptionally angry. I have to concentrate hard on remaining calm. It’s a genuine challenge.










  • We need to, it remains to be seen whether or not we will. Don’t forget, a huge number of us are still shopping american. If this situation goes away, the convenience of trading with the US could easily take over again. People lack conviction, integrity and have short memories. It will take a long-term, concerted effort by the majority of the populace and multiple governments to maintain our trajectory away from US dependence. I’d love to see it happen, but I have little faith our fellow citizens have the constitution to stay the course.
