    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.

      It’s because Fuck The USA.

      To be clear, we mean their government and those… uninformed enough to allow these representatives to be voted in. It’s like watching a relative succumb to dementia and wanting to help but can’t.

      Also, much of the rhetoric has been switching to ‘it is about the tariffs’. It. Is. Not. About. The tariffs. Trade wars aren’t fun, but we can live without trade to the US.

      It is about the President disrespecting our Government and sovereignty. That is inexcusable from such a close ally.
