    Yeah well when the Canadian government has a couple hundred billion invested in just one investment alone, it’s quite clear that Canada is fucked (isn’t the travel boycott like 100b max?). Still Canadians refuse to boycott the S&P500 because there is nowhere else to invest (other than precious metals lol) and citizens refuse to remove their accounts on non-essential American services (Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, Paypal, etc). Canada can’t even get their own local e-commerce platform down, Amazon is mostly foreign goods but it is currently the most dominant way to distribute goods and that will not change anytime soon due to insane commercial real estate pricing. For reference Czechia has quarter the population yet has their own massive ecommerce platform Alza.cz, Amazon isn’t even able to compete in that country. Hell, the Canadian government will not stop using D365, Azure, AWS. God damn Canadians are deluded as to what is coming in their future.

      We see what’s happening, and most of us are in the process of disentanging over a hundred years of having our economy and systems intertwined with the Americans.

      Yes, there are still some maple maga idiots who are dreaming of the taste of Trump’s boots, but they are a minority. A noisy minority to be sure, but a minority.
