    Keep up the good work. Every dollar sent here is a dollar that will work against you.

    Wonderful news. Keep it up even when tariffs are removed. We MUST grow Canadian made for Canadians to purchase.

      See, that’s the thing that gets me. Our countries have had a great trade relationship for a long while now and some giant Cheeto needs to go and piss on everyone’s shoes.

      I wholeheartedly agree with you, produce Canadian items so the American market suffers. Make the people who voted for this situation realize what they’ve done to themselves.

      My order of operations is Canadian -> European -> Anywhere else on the planet -> Decide if I actually need the thing or not -> Chinese -> American.

        As an American mine is Europe/Canada > the rest of the developed world OR blue states > Mexico > other countries > red states. It’s surprisingly easy to avoid food from red states. For tech/online services I prefer European over everywhere else.

    Maybe think before you vote next time or actually vote!

    In other news: Boo Hoo.

    Fuck America under the current government. It’ll take decades to repair the damage the autistic Nazi and his cuck orange granddaddy have done not only to Canada but the world.

      It’ll take far longer to repair the damage they’re doing to America. I’m not even sure most of it can be repaired.

      Honestly, boycott us. Our capitalist classes need to be taken down a peg.

        Yeah, I never thought I’d say it, but I hope the entire world shuns America and fucks us over.

        I doubt even that will fix us, though. We are past some kind of disinformation event horizon, where most of us will never see much reality outside their local life, including leaders who are drinking the kool-aid. Even Idiocracy is kinda idyllic because at least Kamancho was relatively open minded.

          If you’d told me 6 months ago that I’d rather buy Chinese products than American, I would’ve put all my money on Trump. Or just not believed you, because it sounds insane.

          Well, here we are…

        No, but our government and its corporate handlers are, and money is all they understand. They need to be hurt and we are unavoidable collateral damage.

        I’m an American myself. I want the country to die, so another may take its place. If the country doesn’t fall, the country will continue to slowly choke out everyone underneath it instead, with worse impact over time than the country outright collapsing.

        I only hold a grudge against the people who caused these problems in the first place. It’s my goal to support everyone I personally can.

        Not even a voting majority. Look up drop off votes. They stole the election. If your country uses electronic voting machines stop by any means necessary.

    I don’t live too far from the Canadian border. I’m sensing an opportunity to make bank on black market tools and office supplies.

    As an American, I hope the pain that these companies experience translates to strong and direct pressure on our politicians to grow a fucking spine against the dictator.

          Pfft, just watch, it will be an excuse to fire people in droves/cut wages while executives either get raises for “bold” responses or golden parachutes. Day traders will adore the volatility at the expense of retirement funds. Under duress, companies will merge like crazy since the only barrier now seems to be complying with government ethos. Reduced capital gains will juice the market. The masses will shoulder tariffs.

            Saw it in my company yesterday. Outsource an entire department that seemed like the last place you would outsource.
