I was at the grocery store the other day and there was a bin of American broccoli completely full and untouched. The Canadian broccoli bin? Empty. Canadians would literally rather give up broccoli than buy American.

I for one picked had broccoli on my grocery list but opted for cauliflower instead.

    But it is not going to, you are only going to get F’d over some more. You import most of your fertilizer, Trumps tariffs will hurt you there. Trump plans on ramping up ICE raids so a lot of your foreign labour is going.

    What are you doing about it?

      I don’t live in the US, but pretending that I do, you sound a lot like you’re blaming me. What exactly would you like me to do? I can think of a number of ways I could suffer and die for the cause, but not how to actually change anything.

        Fair, I am going to pull a Canadian and apologize. I am trying to get over the Americans infiltrating the r/BuyCanadian group.

        I am not yet a full convert away from Reddit.

          I am not yet a full convert away from Reddit.

          Part of a successful message to these shitheads is to stop using their services. That means Reddit. Quit today.

          As a bonus, when you take your thoughts and eyes elsewhere, the assholes trolling just look even dumber. Nothing takes the hot air our of a flatulent anus more than forcing them to play bugle for an empty room; the best internet insult was always “noone cares”

      Doing the same thing I’ve been doing for years. Been focusing on my “main” guns, getting better with 9mm, AR and 12-gauge. Working on shelter and supplies far from here. Actually working on all that this week, off till Friday!

      If they come for my legal immigrant wife, they’re getting blasted through the fucking door.

      If Red Shirts come knocking, they’re getting blasted through the fucking door.

      What else is in my power? Marches and protests are a fucking joke. A general strike is the only power the masses have, and these masses voted for Trump. My fat-as-fuck fellow Americans dare not miss a meal to take a single day off.
