I'm in the US. I've stopped getting stuff made in the red states (sadly Evan Williams that I love as well). Cut off Amazon and Target.
The list is huge. It's a process unfortunately. But I'm buying Canadian where I can. Especially that sweet syrup. Love you guys. -
Tabasco's owners have been supporting the Russia in its war of genocide.
A company doing that is no way "good dudes".

I appreciate you proving you’re Canadian by starting with “sorry.” My apologies for my country being full of asshats.

Huh? Even if it's produced in Denmark, how can some of the revenue not be going back to the US where Coca Cola is based?
wrote 5 days ago last edited byAs I said, they are trying to soften the boycott on them, and my feeling is that it is not working to the extent that they would like. Because it's the most American product in existence.

About a year ago, there was a boycott on the Loblaws supermarket chain in protest of their boasting record profits at a time when grocery inflation was out of control. It lasted about a month before kind of fizzling out.
But I think by comparison, this buy Canadian movement has legs. It's a major nationwide shift in people's spending habits. And the key word here may be habits. Let's say for argument's sake that after 4 years of Trump, a new administration comes in and repeals all the tariffs. By that time, people will have settled into alternate brands across a wide range of consumer goods, and it may be difficult to convince them to switch back again. There's a certain inertia in human behaviour. So the effects of this could potentially go on quite a bit longer than the tariff war.

American products got world wide recognition in a time when USA was the peak of western culture, technology and quality.
With or without tariffs and boycotts, people everywhere in the world will once again have to question if they even want America products. This doesn't go well with the increased consumer awareness that is happening everywhere else but in USS.
UK turning down clorinated American chickens is the funniest thing today, like eew brother, eew what's that?

wrote 4 days ago last edited byThanks. Apologies, I wasn't questioning what you wrote, I was highlighting the blatant deception of their messaging. So it's no wonder the strategy is failing.
And now, not only are they tarnished by having an American product, they're doubling down by highlighting that they're also a bunch of con men. (Wait, is "con people" the correct phrasing these days.)

Can't blame Canada one bit. They have to put their own interests first.
I wonder if it's dawning on any Trumpers here in America that they've made a profoundly bad call. I'm guessing probably not. They may only have an inkling of this harsh reality when it hits their wallets like a freight train. But even then it will always be someone else's fault (liberals, Democrats, foreign nations, etc).
Are we winning yet??
wrote 4 days ago last edited by"America first" and "make America great again" is just too unspecific, as Peru, Canada and all the others qualify as well.
Maybe he's trying to equalize all of America by aligning the USA with the economic growth of... let's say Venezuela.

I'm sorry to hear what the blue residents
I wouldn't be, most of them stayed home on Election day to 'punish' Kamala.
They're one of the biggest reasons for the turmoil in the world today, fuck 'em.
wrote 4 days ago last edited byIt's time to move past the salt. For one, it's not even true, there weren't enough protest voters to affect the outcome. Worse, the latest information I've heard from Democratic Party analysts is that his margin of victory would've been higher if more people had voted.

Canadian here... i don't give a damn about what the blue states are experiencing... They are free to leave the US and stop empowering our enemy with their taxes. I can guarantee, should trump decide to invade Canada, the blue states won't do shit. When we retaliate in self-defence, we'll retaliate against the entire murica, white, blue and red.

Oh you think so, hmm?
You think that a lot of us haven't been looking at every country that might be worthwhile, including spending years learning additional languages, researching our ancestry several generations deep to find countries where we might be able to get ancestry, applying for literally dozens to hundreds of jobs on literally all other continents, and even taking IELFS training and tests and looking at industry changes for jobs just to be able to get out?
It's not as easy as you think. Even Canada and Mexico have strict requirements that a lot of the people in the U.S. can't meet.
Literally the closest comparison is the people who wanted to flee Nazi Germany.

Trump on Monday.... "Canadian tarriffs now 55%!"
wrote 4 days ago last edited byIf he was smart and coy he'd do 51% for the 51st parallel where Canada is or if he wanted to he'd make it 100% for the 100th Meridian "where the great plains begin" lol

I can guarantee americans won't do shit if the US decided to attack Canada. There's no Luigi among you.
