These dumb fuckers have no idea that the rest of the world no longer has any trust in the US and along with Canada we are all looking at new trading partners and agreements, with those who will actually honour the agreements they make. Canada has been selling their oil from Alberta to the US at a discount for many many years, because we did not have suitable pipeline access to our western or eastern ports. Trudeau tried to get the east/west pipeline done but ran into a roadblock with our errant province of Quebec, who flatly refused to allow a pipeline through the province. Trump has changed that attitude and I have no doubt we will see the construction of the new pipeline. Trudeau did manage to get the pipeline completed to the west coast (started during first Trump term) and was completed in 2024 which now allows us to ship our oil to new trading partners and maybe even to China. We also opened a new LNG plant on our west coast for shipping.

There is a very large movement in Canada now to boycott US products and buy Canadian or any other country other than the US. As well Canadians are refusing to travel to the US for vacations. This is not just Canada but several other countries are supporting us by buying Canadian products and anything other than US.

So now and in years to come we will be trading with other countries much more than we did before and we will likely sell the US less oil and not at a discount anymore. This is not just a temporary protest, Trump has created a whole new level of "wokeness" and patriotism in our country and others that we now read every label and have new apps to tell us where a product is from. Our stores are now labelling Canadian products so they are easily recognised and our produce from which country they are from. People are passing by the US products.

It should never have come to this but it will take a very long time for people to forget, because the one thing we have learned, is the the voters in the US are idiots to have voted for him once, but twice, that is not a mistake that is revealing.

We may return to our travel in the US and even not asking where everything we buy is from, but by then we may already be in trade agreements with other countries that provide us with the goods we require and we will honour our commitments to them. It may hurt us now (and it will) but it will be the US citizens that may well lose for the long term. We consider ourselves at war, right now just tariff and economically (for now anyway) but it is a war just the same and in war you have to make sacrifices and we will do that by not buying US products. Find someone else who will provide it or decide if we really need that or can we do without it.

I actually am in the process of getting a hydroponic garden started and will raise many vegetables, for my use, even in winter.
