Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

There needs to be tighter regulation, in order to feature that Maple Leaf on the packaging at all it should have to be made 51% in Canada in my opinion.
What about maple syrup? American made syrup has every right to the leaf, to represent the tree of origin.
You geese did not invent the maple tree.
Maple leaf imagery can be created without using the Canadian flag, which is a distinct minimalist interpretation of the leaf in red.
I was replying to someone who did not specify a "minimalist red maple leaf on a white background". They said that Canada should trademark all depictions of maple leafs on all product packaging.
I was also joking. I should know by now that people on the Internet are bad at picking up my tone.
Nope, they said “that maple leaf” meaning specifically the one on the flag.
sorry, it's our Maple Leaf now you're going to have to draw a slightly visually distinct one, in a different color
