    The boycotting, booing and hatred will continue until Trump’s departure. Even if they say sorry. Even after the next president. And the next.

    Personally I am finished with their cultural exports. I want nothing from them. I can’t even listen to music sung by an American without feeling like it doesn’t belong here anymore. It’s not the story or song if anyone I have any kinship to, so why give it any of my time?

    All we’ve learned is that we should absolutely go for the throat the second they are vulnerable because we’re just a prey item to them, and fuck being toyed with.

    I called it earlier.

    They’re just dangling tariffs as a sword of damacles to hurt Canadian companies without increasing prices.

    We need to treat this the same as tariffs.

    At this point we need to diversify our trading partners. Trump’s gonna do whatever he’s gonna do. We’ve gotta do what’s best for us.

    He’s going to create a crisis and have demands, threaten the tariffs until Canada makes some form of deal, postpone it, and come back with a new crisis, rinse and repeat.

      It feels like the media have already lost interest in the story. There isn’t nearly as much coverage as the last two times.
