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.
I agree but itโs not the US, itโs the US government. Yes it was elected by US citizens, but a lot of them were misled by liars and I blame their (and our) education system which permits adequacy.
I don't think they should get a pass for being a bunch of morons (if I'm understanding your comment correctly). They elected this guy once already and that should've given them all the education they needed. As one of their greatest minds once said, "Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. Fool me... You can't get fooled again!"
Yes, but this is the government they chose. Thatโs after 30 criminal charges, after inject bleach and take horse dewormer for Covid, after Jan 6, and after project 2025 was released, after โIโll be a dictator in day 1โ, after โmass deportations nowโ.
Good. Let's let Americans see what a disaster this election was. Mistakes aren't mistakes without consequences.
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 ๐
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. ๐
I don't even know how to prepare at this point. I don't have a passport and now can't get one. Can't own a gun due to medical marijuana card. I have plenty of money and staunch allies who will hide me if needed, but that doesn't feel like real safety. At this point I'm just surrounding myself with people in the same position so we can lean on eachother, and that has been a great comfort.
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
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 on mbin

Fair enough ๐
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
The US playing right into Russia and Chinaโs hands by fracturing good relationships amongst the worldโs biggest allies. Putin and co. couldnโt ask for a bigger gift on a silver platter.
But Iโm not worried about Canada. We will develop other trading partners and persevere until the US comes to its senses. Hopefully wonโt take 4 years.
Self-sanctioning.
Interesting, it kind of is. You could also say he is raising taxes.
