Trump makes Canada a regular topic because he is jealous of our unity and patriotism to Canada. His jealousy is shown by wanting us to join the usa.
He wants our natural resources for manufacturing . What he is learning is we will stand tall and proud of being a Canadian. There's a reason why other countries citizens don't like American people on average . After 20 years in tourism I realized that the Americans think they can be rude and drop american dollars to pave their way.
Not all Americans but 47% voted for Trump so 47% believe his lies.
Younger generation doesn't know his tv shows like the Aprentice where he emotionally hurt people before firing them on national TV.
He cares about only gaining more wealth and power for himself.
Canada is great and I am proud to go travel in other countries as a Canadian.
Canada's will always be more desirable than the usa or Americans would not leave the us to be Canadian.

I'm not going to change my shopping habits. I have ALWAYS sought out Canadian made products. Even if I have to pay a bit more. I especially do this during our growing season. Local veggies and fruit can't be beat, in my opinion and I WANT our farmers to make some money so they stay in business.

This shop local and buy Canadian will be temporary at best and will soon fade from peoples minds. The peasants are easily distracted, have a short attention span and memory for these things.

Perhaps but I'm of the mind that if tariffs get implemented the extra cost foisted upon the product will help with memory and short attention span. :biggrin:

Also the orange narcissist has assured a resurgence of Canadian patriotism thanks to his constant quips about making us the 51st state. He doesn't give a hoot about us, just as he doesn't give a hoot about his MAGA sheep, given the election is over. He simply covets our resources, just as the USA has done in every other part of the world that they stick their nose into.

It's sad to see how many people are controlled by the picture box ... the amount of hate that is spread by the media is unbelievable , You ask anyone why they hate trump and they got nothing but media rhetoric .. they all hate orange man but cannot give you any real facts other than the media BS . All he is asking is to protect yourself by protecting the border and the tariffs will go away ... what a concept !!! we let in 3 000 000 plus in and 85 000 are suspected terrorists (according to CSIS) that have disappeared into canada and most likely went south . we have guns and drugs and child trafficking flowing across like nothing with a estimate 4000 plus different gangs doing this (those are government stats ) so maybe why don't we make canada first for once !!
