Hint: it's not the tariffs, we are used to that from the [redacted] from our southern border, it's the threats against our sovereignty

Not just the threats, but the deafening silence from Americans in general about it (outside Lemmy) is something we will not forget for a generation.
Seriously. I have too many American friends who are confused when I tell them I have and will have no interest in going down to America, even if it's just to visit them, for the foreseeable future and they wonder why.
Could it be because your country was having open public discourse on the merits of annexing us? Or maybe that I don't want to get thrown into an ICE concentration camp for no reason?
My inlaws are dual and living in the US. Very surprised and confused why I was still upset about it.
Interesting that they would be confused at all. I have an interest, because Canada is cool, but I won't be visiting anytime soon because I know we are the worst and nobody is going to want us there. I also don't want to deal with assholes at the border, even though I'm a US citizen they have carte blanche to do anything they are in the mood for.
Honestly, we're generally fine with individual Americans that are respectful. Not many of us, if any at all, will be rude towards you unless you're an openly hateful Trump supporter.
I'm finding all Americans distasteful these days. They have a taint these days.
Yeah the stench of Trump lingers on 70 million Muricans.
I certainly don’t judge Americans who come here unless they’re acting MAGAish (wearing the hat, American flag clothes, etc).
I'm not visiting canada because I'm afraid to come back. American border security gives 0 bucks about citizenship anymore

What gets me is that no one seems to be mentioning exactly what it means that US is entering their 'Papers please' phase, and that supporting a fascist state isn't a very Canadian thing to do.
Not wanting to be hassled at the border, or having our sovereignty threatened is an understandable reason for avoiding the US, but it's also pretty selfish.
I wish I see more people, and Canadian news media talking about the bigger side of it as in 'We don't support fascism'
That should be an integral part of our identity, especially if we want to ensure the Conservatives stop trying to normalise maple maga ideals.
Yeah even if the US wasn't threatening us, I'm not giving them more money to spend on torturing people.
Exactly. The first trump presidency can be seen as a blip. The second was intentional.
Is lemmy.ca redacting naughty words now?
When instances block words, I normally see it as "removed". I think that @lost_faith@lemmy.ca might've self-censored?
exactly, you fill in the word that best fits for you

My boycott is for life. Trust is earned slowly, and broken instantly.
Yup. I'm 50 and teaching my 10 year olds all about boycotting murica products and services. They're into it. It will be generational. Good luck getting us back.
Why? Because it got personal. Trump can verbally shit his policies all over the place but once he started talking about annexing (invading) Canada then the citizenry took notice. This is not a boycott hand in hand with the government of Canada. This is a boycott by the people at a grassroots level and it needed no organizing whatsoever.
The quarterwit Muricans have no fucking clue how petty and grudge-holding we actually are.

It's been fun replacing American goods and services with Canadian and not-American alternatives.
In many cases, you end up with better products anyway.
Just got a quote for new ac and furnace installation. They sent the quote with both units being American made. I asked them if they can quote with non-US products. If they can't, I'll try another company..
Good! Stay safe. Stay far away.
It's about survival and resisting the encroachment of a hostile foreign power. Simple as that. Appeasement will not save Canada. Only resistance and dissociation will.
I buy Canadian first and anywhere but murica second. There is no third.

Canadian investors divested from U.S. equity funds in the first quarter at the highest rate since the start of the pandemic, moving their money into more conservative investments, according to a new report from Sun Life SLF-T. But people aren’t cashing out. Overall withdrawal rates remained stable, suggesting that investors are staying committed to their long-term savings.
I mean, he is actively cutting the SEC for his own scamy benefit, he is tanking the dollar, he is ruining the economy, he is defenestrating the rule of law and due process, and he is doing his best to overthrow the federal reserve. Also, Republicans kind of hate a lot of the companies in the Mag 7 and are all on board for antitrust suits against woke oligopolies. If equities are investments you hold for the long haul, regardless of how the US has done in the past, how can you see current actions working out well for investment in the future?
Get off the American meme stock market rocket, chances are growing it will do a SpaceX to your investments.
Trumpi America can go fuck itself!
Now imagune the effect if we was building alternstives to anything from the usa
