    It’s not a crisis. It’s a breakup. “Crisis” implies that there will be a normal relationship to return to, and I don’t believe there ever will be.

    “Buy Canadian,” or is that just “Don’t Buy American”?

    No need to punish Mexico for America’s problem child.

    “After Canada-U.S. Crisis is Over” sounds like they think there’s some kind of end in sight. Not sure where that is coming from. The crisis isn’t over until USA stops behaving like a facist dictatorship, and I don’t see any signs of them slowing that down or even thinking it’s a bad idea.

      the now fascist states.

      Spoiler alert: They have ALWAYS been fascists, the mask has just dropped a bit now. Look at how many fascist dictators they have put in power or supported forever. It is a good thing that people are waking up to the real USA finally. I just hope the awareness persists when the mask goes back on.

    But guyse, if we keep being so nasty and not fondling their leaders balls, they are gonna stop preclearance which will make it harder to visit, for which we will also be blamed, thereby making it worse. C’mon guyse they rilly rilly need this. Or, are you saying you want to personally be responsible for contributing to the downfall of the United Fascist Taints of American’t?

    /s (obvi I hope)

    You bet I’ll continue. One, I don’t think the relationship with the US is going to improve any time soon, maybe even in my life time.

    Two, buying Canadian should always be the way as it helps our local businesses and overall our economy in the country. We had been buying from local farms already and now the Trump crap just opened our eyes to look at all products.

    Habits take a bit to form but also typically stay unless there is an effort to change them. No need to change again.

    I’m American but the other day I saw some frozen pot pies labeled as being a product of Canada so I tried it. Best frozen pot pie I ever had. Wanted to drop the name of the brand, but after now looking it up becsuse I couldn’t remember the name, it turns out to be a Walmart owned brand (Bettergoods btw). So now I am wondering why they were labeled as Canadian imports.

    I’ve definitely noticed my consumption habits change and checking the label to see if the product I’m buying is made in America so I can put it back has become basically second nature at this point.
