Thanks for this post. I haven’t read the Walrus in a while, i will be coming for more.

I challenge every newbies to create 1-3 posts over the first 72 h here : what do you enjoy in social media usually? It doesn’t have to be perfectly new if it’s new on Lemmy: your favourite Reddit group isn’t represented here or silent for a while : show us a glimpse of what you like and see how much engagement you receive.

You can’t reason with this a. hole no point trying.

What a clown! I can stand behind every word you used to describe this joke of a candidate for prime minister.

I despise everyone that want to appease the US. Since they can’t respect their own signature there is no point in negotiating especially if it weaken our sovereignty and push us to be more dependent on our oppressor. Lets put the 30 % of our gdp in jeopardy and build better trade with Europe and developed Asia. Who knows, maybe the US will pay for some missions critical import anyway and doing so shorten the trade war. I am not pushing to do anything rash but expelling diplomats until the 51st state bullshit stop seems necessary before March 1st.

I agree

A slow pace will give time for concerned republicans to discuss. Trump try to ignore a lot of things but he needs congress to follow through with legislation for his plan to succeed.

Smaller companies that only handle logistics and delivery. But it’s been Amazon ways for a while that none of their subcontractors can grow. They will make it unpredictable so it’s difficult to invest and come back to handle things themselves if a local company come close to making a descent business. They will end the contract and move to a new subcontractor just to prevent a local company to grow and gain leverage. Just like they are aggressively against union.

There is multiple levels of problem from Quebec point of view. Quick delivery paid by Prime without Quebec infrastructure won’t happen. Why pay for it? General boycott of companies that a) pay taxes in the US and b) show support for the current US administration. Any money that’s not spent developing Canadian infrastructure is a problem with our sovereignty challenge.

Wallmart as most of the same issues. Shopify need his CEO to stop encouraging Trump, but sometimes it allow local business to sell directly to you. I would be interested in what works for you in term of alternatives.

There’s a pattern of brewing menace on a Friday afternoon only to downplay them on Monday. Or it’s just me reading too much out of this chaos?

There isn’t room for multiple social media in my life and i will try with only Lemmy for a few months. I did came from r/BuyCanadian with curiosity more than the US boycott in mind. I plead guilty!

When can we expel the US ambassador until they stop with this 51st state nonsense? I don’t even see the point of discussing Nafta 3.0 if the clown can’t respect his own signature. We will take the temporary 30% cut to gdp and emerge stronger in a few years.

Responding in a slow pace is a feature not a bug : the toddler in chief will get bored and might go get is dopamine with another target, while we redirect export elsewhere
