    It’s going to be great once every American is jobless and has all the free time to pursue hobbies involving CEOs, and the orange and rodent cancers in the Federal government. Think of all the possibilities!

      Great for trump. He can just declare whatever crisis to do even more stupid things and grab more absolute power.

    Yup, been avoiding american products as much as I can at the grocery store. Fruits and veggies that can’t be grown in Canada I will get from Mexico or anywhere else in the world except the US.

    And not just about the attacks and threats. With the current US administration gutting regulations, there will be more risks of getting sick from eating contaminated food products.

    Meanwhile: Canadian manufactutors pulling their hair out while reviewing their books “what are we going to do with all these profits?”

    As an American, I hope the pain that these companies experience translates to strong and direct pressure on our politicians to grow a fucking spine against the dictator.

          Pfft, just watch, it will be an excuse to fire people in droves/cut wages while executives either get raises for “bold” responses or golden parachutes. Day traders will adore the volatility at the expense of retirement funds. Under duress, companies will merge like crazy since the only barrier now seems to be complying with government ethos. Reduced capital gains will juice the market. The masses will shoulder tariffs.

            Saw it in my company yesterday. Outsource an entire department that seemed like the last place you would outsource.

    “Due to large drops in revenue we’re forced to layoff workers.” Laid off MAGA voters, “But that wasn’t what was supposed to happen!”

      Nah, they are saying short term pain for long term gain. What exactly they are going to gain? Who the hell knows

        It’s a brilliant piece of stupid propaganda. If the next democratic president tries to bring the country out of depression by undoing these dumb policies, the MAGA folks will claim that they nearly had solved the problem but that the awful democrats stopped it at the last minute before the prosperity would kick in.

          Long term = next dem president inherits a recession and gets blamed for it

          If there IS a next dem president.

            Typical cycle. Republican cuts taxes, economy stagnates, gov goes to hell. Democrat has to get more revenue, may need to raise taxes to fix damage, economy picks up. Republicans point at Dem and say he raised taxes and voters get upset. Repeat.

    In other news: Boo Hoo.

    Fuck America under the current government. It’ll take decades to repair the damage the autistic Nazi and his cuck orange granddaddy have done not only to Canada but the world.

      It’ll take far longer to repair the damage they’re doing to America. I’m not even sure most of it can be repaired.

      Honestly, boycott us. Our capitalist classes need to be taken down a peg.

        Yeah, I never thought I’d say it, but I hope the entire world shuns America and fucks us over.

        I doubt even that will fix us, though. We are past some kind of disinformation event horizon, where most of us will never see much reality outside their local life, including leaders who are drinking the kool-aid. Even Idiocracy is kinda idyllic because at least Kamancho was relatively open minded.

          If you’d told me 6 months ago that I’d rather buy Chinese products than American, I would’ve put all my money on Trump. Or just not believed you, because it sounds insane.

          Well, here we are…

      Bleed us dry. I approve. The ones who choose not to vote need the fell the pain before there is any hope of change.
