Years ago — late 90s — I used to travel to Vermont from the UK on business. Because of the time difference I'd often wake up at ~3:30 in the morning and since there was very little to do in a hotel room in Burlington, I'd put The Weather Channel on.
Quite often they'd report on "snow coming down from Canada", or "frigid air coming down from Canada", and I always thought it was weird how they seemed to be subtly blaming another country for weather phenomena.
Dunno why I thought of that.
Anyway, electric vans. Cool.
First time I ever went there (1997) I landed at Boston Logan Airport, and a guy in plain clothes, but with a gun, stopped everyone who was departing the plane and repeatedly yelled out "American citizens this way, foreigners line up against the wall!".
I never once felt safe going there, and was always relieved when I got out alive. Decided a few years ago that I'll never set foot in the US again.
That seems like a good move.

Agreed!
Not the first time I've read through one of these scam-baiting articles and I'm sure it won't be the last. It's quite fascinating how they work.
Canadians are buying fewer products made in the U.S. in an effort to brace for the impact of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs, which are set to cause prices to skyrocket across a range of products.
It has nothing to do with bracing for the tariffs. It's because Fuck The USA.
Is there a "go woke, go broke" but for nazis?
