I hope to read more about American companies crying capitalistic tears

    I'm hoping with enough pain, there will be meaningful change.

    Keep up the good work. Every dollar sent here is a dollar that will work against you.

    Buy Canadian is best, but anything will do if it isn't American.

    In other news: Boo Hoo.

    Fuck America under the current government. It’ll take decades to repair the damage the autistic Nazi and his cuck orange granddaddy have done not only to Canada but the world.

    It'll take far longer to repair the damage they're doing to America. I'm not even sure most of it can be repaired.

    Honestly, boycott us. Our capitalist classes need to be taken down a peg.

    Yeah, I never thought I'd say it, but I hope the entire world shuns America and fucks us over.

    I doubt even that will fix us, though. We are past some kind of disinformation event horizon, where most of us will never see much reality outside their local life, including leaders who are drinking the kool-aid. Even Idiocracy is kinda idyllic because at least Kamancho was relatively open minded.

    Wonderful news. Keep it up even when tariffs are removed. We MUST grow Canadian made for Canadians to purchase.

    See, that’s the thing that gets me. Our countries have had a great trade relationship for a long while now and some giant Cheeto needs to go and piss on everyone’s shoes.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you, produce Canadian items so the American market suffers. Make the people who voted for this situation realize what they’ve done to themselves.

    Uh yeah. That's the whole point!

    Maybe think before you vote next time or actually vote!

    Meanwhile: Canadian manufactutors pulling their hair out while reviewing their books "what are we going to do with all these profits?"

    Everybody here in the US keeps telling me that I'm wrong when I say this stuff will destroy our economy.

    I sincerely hope the rest of the world proves them wrong.

    I mean look at the stock market, customer sentiment, etc. Everything is pointing down and we haven't started to see the unemployment that's going to be brought on from all the government layoffs and attempts to rescind grants/contracts.

    I think the next jobs report is going to be painful and we won't see anything positive economically for a while after that.

    "Due to large drops in revenue we're forced to layoff workers." Laid off MAGA voters, "But that wasn't what was supposed to happen!"

    Nah, they are saying short term pain for long term gain. What exactly they are going to gain? Who the hell knows

    It’s a brilliant piece of stupid propaganda. If the next democratic president tries to bring the country out of depression by undoing these dumb policies, the MAGA folks will claim that they nearly had solved the problem but that the awful democrats stopped it at the last minute before the prosperity would kick in.

    As an American, I hope the pain that these companies experience translates to strong and direct pressure on our politicians to grow a fucking spine against the dictator.

    The response, so far, seems to be licking boots, unfortunately.

    Pfft, just watch, it will be an excuse to fire people in droves/cut wages while executives either get raises for "bold" responses or golden parachutes. Day traders will adore the volatility at the expense of retirement funds. Under duress, companies will merge like crazy since the only barrier now seems to be complying with government ethos. Reduced capital gains will juice the market. The masses will shoulder tariffs.

    Yup, been avoiding american products as much as I can at the grocery store. Fruits and veggies that can't be grown in Canada I will get from Mexico or anywhere else in the world except the US.

    And not just about the attacks and threats. With the current US administration gutting regulations, there will be more risks of getting sick from eating contaminated food products.

    I don't live too far from the Canadian border. I'm sensing an opportunity to make bank on black market tools and office supplies.
