U.S. companies say Canadian retailers are turning away products - National | Globalnews.ca

I'm sorry to hear what the blue residents are going through; and I'm sorry that I overlooked their situation over the last few weeks as I worried about ours here.
In my house, a short ways north of the border, we've been talking, lightly, about what-ifs. We never even planned around the refugee situation even before Mr Trump tries a sham war to deny the vote.
I feel there's gonna be a lot of people 'lost' on their way through to Nome. I hope they're careful and they have plans too. And I sure as hell hope those contingency plans never become necessary; and we can all laugh - ha ha haaaa ha ha - about it later.
We're not even 90 days in and we're planning for situations not seen here in 200 years.

I really wanna play it cool and act like it was deliberate, but it wasn’t, and now I love it.

You don't say...

And because of the stupid electoral system, their vote is meaningless in presidential elections.

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??

Oh for sure!
In Denmark, Coca Cola is in full damage control trying to highlight that they are produced in Denmark and thus is basically as Danish as our native brands, but it is an uphill battle since Coca Cola is basically THE American brand.
To be honest I don't know how well they're succeeding in their damage control... But I'm getting a sense they are suffering...

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.

Well...Rand Paul led the Senate in voting to stop the Tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Dunno if the House will follow or not but some of them are starting to clue in.

I get that there are many Americans and American companies that do great things. Hell, I still have a Costco membership because they treat their workers and customers really well for a large chain, and have demonstrably rejected the "anti-woke" movement.
But understand that if this keeps going on I'm not renewing it this year. This is because every dollar that goes to Washington DC through US federal taxes is metaphorical ammunition for Trump, to illegally threaten to withhold funding for refusing to go along with his demands.

Yes, but we have to move past the "it can't be that bad for my business" and the "don't blame me, I didn't vote for Trump" excuses. Blue state residents have to actually stand up for their state and fellow residents against this administration. I've been impressed by some of the protests in LA in support of Mexico, but Sacramento, Olympia, Albany, Salem have a lot of legwork to do to protect itself from the Trump admin. Canadian actions are meant to spur individual Americans to action as well.

They don't really have the brain cells to self reflect. It's like asking a vampire to look in the mirror.

Probably not going to happen in the house. The 4 Senate Republicans that voted that way are known breakaways/Trump haters:
Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Mitch McConnell (Ky.) Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Rand Paul (Ky.) joined Democrats in voting for the measure, which passed 51-48.

I got a survey from Google Opinion Rewards today asking if I was participating in the Buy Canadian movement. When I said yes, the next question was how much of a price increase would I accept in order to keep my convictions. I said 50%, but I really should have said higher.
I earned $0.16 for my answer and now I feel dirty.

Kraft is doing the same here in Canada. Just means its working. Theyre worried about losing their market.
I dont care what happens now. I will never buy American again unless I have no choice and cant do without.

Mitch McConnel was fellating Trump up until like a month ago.

I've seen some waking up but not most.

Canadian Tire can probably take care of most of your CostCo needs. I don’t know if they sell hot dogs for CAD $1.50 but one assumes hot dogs aren’t all that important in the context of global trade.

Win win situation is if the west coast breaks off from the rest of the US. We'd finally be free from idiocracy. The red side of the US didn't want us anyways
