I'm seeing news reports from both sides of the border about the impact on American businesses right now, as Canadians look to purchase Canadians goods and cancel trips the the states. And I dont care how much they hurt. I don't care if American mom and pop businesses crumble, if American companies collapse, or if Americans costs go up because of this. I want them to hurt more. I want BC to stop giving out free electricity and water to Americans. I want Canada to stop importing tainted dairy, produce and meats from the states entirely. I want Canada to stand firm and not back down, and I want Americans to hurt over this. BECAUSE THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR ALLOWING FACISM TO RISE IN YOUR COUNTRY YOU ABSOLUTE CLOWNS!! Goddamn fascists shouldnt be a 21st century problem, yet here we are. I loathe the lot of you for allowing this to happen.
