Couldn't be prouder to be Canadian.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 59 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Proud of you guys! Keep up the good work.

We're doing our part to fight back.

Hopefully the Americans are doing theirs as well.

I’m out there protesting in front of my local Tesla. It’s the least I can do, and the most I can do when I don’t have to be working.

[–] CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

This is the way.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Thanks for your efforts.

I’ve never been more patriotic. Always been a proud Canadian, but not in fiercely Canadian.

Keep it up Canadians!!

Pierre Cléroux, vice-president of research and chief economist at the Business Development Bank of Canada, told The Globe and Mail that if every Canadian household redirected $25 a week from foreign products to Canadian ones, it would boost GDP by 0.7 per cent and create 60,000 jobs.

I really hope this effort long outlasts the tariffs and the Trump administration.

[–] SaturdayMorning@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Until I feel that usa can be trusted to be an ally and not an invader, I'm going to continue boycotting usa, tariff or no tariff. Unfortunately, once the trust is broken, it's hard to repair.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 month ago

Down with Trump's regime!

"Better subway"

I gave up on them after a couple bad experiences. I'll have to give them another try.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

Woo! Now make sure PP never gets to be PM and await my immigration

Those in power will not bow to pressure from normal people until the guillotines come out, but when business leaders come crying about their profits they will backtrack as Trump and his ilk have done. Make them hurt and don't stop when they cry uncle. - an American

Excellent work Canada, keep it up!

Elbows up tabarnak!

🎵 What’s our life and freedom worth 
When a tyrant seeks our earth, 
Aiming to subdue our land with greedy hand? 
But we’ll stand against his might, 
Canada won’t yield this fight, 
And we’ll shout across our free and sovereign land:
Go home, Yankee! Yankee, go home!🎵

Why are your and this and red?

[–] Ironfist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I used a "code block" to write it so I could put it in different rows, but the code block interpret those words in red as words used in programing, so it highlights them.

In addition to bourbon, Canada is a crucial market for U.S. whiskey and other spirits as well as wine and beer. Bartenders, waitstaff and retail clerks in the U.S. are among those who will face significant layoffs if trade tensions continue, said Mr. Gould.

I'm curious about why US bartenders and waitstaff could be impacted... Is this specific to those who work at distilleries, or is it general to all in the hospitality industry? It's not clear to me.

If the US economy is hurt people do stop going to bars, but it's still a weird thing for this article to include

[–] courageousstep@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago
