An Open Letter to Canadians: Your Anti-Trump Boycott Is Crushing MAGA And It's Inspiring The World
So thanks for that, but...that's not really the point.
We're not trying to hurt Trump and MAGA. We're not trying to either destroy the US or get it back to where we were a year ago.
Trump - and more to the point, his re-election - was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. Canada finally has said "enough is enough."
We're not doing this anymore. We're not tying our country's fate to ANY other nation - not the US, not England, not China or Eritrea.
Canada cannot afford to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of convenience and harmony.
Canada has one direction: Forward. We are reclaiming our sovereignty, our culture, and our place as a progressive leader in the modern world.
Canada is a relatively small country. Strategic partnerships are going to be critical moving forward but creating some distance with the US is a crucial first step as it is no longer a reliable trading partner.
The US was by far the greatest financial benefactor of WW2, in part due to geographic isolation, allowing it to sell weapons to its allies without having its factories destroyed by warplanes, which in turn allowed it to collect 80% of the world's gold supply and set its currency as the global standard. As a nation, it played its hand / leveraged its newfound wealth exceptionally well in the post WW2 period.
It made sense to have a strong trading relationship at the time, given the proximity and that the war allowed the US to amass a disproportionate amount of purchasing power.
It seems that the US has decided it does not want to lead the world any longer, despite its economic might. Hopefully there is good that can come of that.
What are you saying, that you care more about doing right by your own countrymen than you do about harming your perceived enemies??
Donald Trump does not understand Canadian values of compassion and politeness.
Donald Trump never watched Due South.
BTW the entire series is available on YouTube.
Thank you kindly.
This isn't even our final form.
We need to get out there and destroy Little trump jr (Pierre Poilievre's conservatives) and stop them from selling us out.
If any Canadians need a voting kit you can go to https://elections.ca/ and sign up for one there. Takes less than 15 minutes. (Deadline is April 22 but I'd suggest to get it done ASAP!)
All you need is a pic of your I.D. to confirm and they will mail you your kit. I got mine within a week and I already filled it out and it's on its way back.
Thank you Canadians, this is how a true friends reacts, they dont normalize bad behavior.
Mexico is on board reach out to them and just have a MC agreement! Work with the UN to prevent this from happening again, because clearly the USA can't be trusted
I think a lot comes down to the propaganda machines. Our conservatives pay millions of dollars to things like "Canada proud" to spread bullshit and divide us. We need to drag this crap out of the shadows and beat them down relentlessly in the light of day.
I don't know if we will win the fight, but we sure as fuck are NOT going to give up.
You can also do advance voting at any time at your nearest Elections Canada office! I voted last Saturday.
My polling place is like 100m outside my door, but it's really far from my nearest EC office.
So, Friday, because I'm lazy like that!
I already signed up for mail-in voting. It was easy
Registered to vote from abroad. I cast my vote suuuuuuper slow, at the speed of international mail! Sent it away Monday morning.
This was my first time as well, and to be honest I think it's the way to go. I didn't expect it to be so smooth.
I went to elections.ca (If memory serves it was on a Thursday) filled out the form and submitted a pic of my I.D. and submitted it. By Tuesday it was in my mail, (could have been there on Monday but I didn't check) Filled it out, put it into the envelope and sign it, which then goes into another outer envelope, and mail it back. Done, Easy Peazy.
Now I don't have worry about getting to the polling station on time, or to wait in any lines, and don't have to worry about picking up any of the numerous viruses going around.
It takes a ton of effort to piss off Canada
Bravo! Make yourselves stronger and more independent.
Canadian shoppers are starting a new habit. After checking an item if it is a US product they return it to the shelf upside down and turn several more of the same item upside down so the next shopper knows to skip that product.
Haha omg, I thought I was the only one childishly doing that. My grocery store must be really on top of re-facing their shelves, because I’ve never come across any upside down US products.
The biggest hint something is American is when the shelf is fully stocked and there’s lots of items missing from the nearby brands.
That’s so true - empty sections of cranberry sauce, tomato paste, pasta, etc adjacent to fully stocked American items are such a telltale sign lately.
I fucking love you guys for this. Hit us in the wallet until the fascist trash is gone.
We got that habit from Europe. I think it was Denmark who did this first, and it's so easy.
Don’t let baby Trump with his small PP and his illiterate maple magas win.
Canada needs to be strong, the conservatives are pathetically weak. All they know how to do is bash Canada and say we’re broken.
Let’s prove them wrong. VOTE! VOTE!! VOTE!!!
I needed a shot of pride and enthusiasm today. Thanks for posting.
How do I leave here and join you guys? Y'all aren't very far away
when America comes to its senses and Canadians return to the US
So like, in 60 years or so?
Trust is hard-earned, easily lost, and difficult to reestablish.
It will be in a few decades as a best case scenario. It's not even about Trump specifically. The world will have lost its trust in the US public to not vote in chaos, now that they've done it twice, for the forseeable future.
Depends on the path they take. If they just "wait it out" we'll all be dead before Canadians go back to the way things were. If they hit some kind of breaking point and drag that rapist prick and his sycophants out of their White House in leg irons- I would be willing to negotiate an expedited process.
Might only be 40. Long enough for the current generation of leaders to die off.
Who knows. Might get bad enough for the 2024 movie Civil War to turn into a predictive documentary. Could be 20!
