Fuck that. We should be actively pursuing zero trade with the dictatorial regime of the US. Fascist light up here will try sign our lives away.

Last I heard, Mark Carney has been making moves toward weaning us off of American trade/economic co-dependency. I think zero will be impossible (and unwise, imo), but we can definitely do better.

Mark Carney is pushing us exactly in the same direction as previous presidents have in the US. Check out the bills passing through government right now. He's cozying up to a fascist regime and setting us up to be exactly the same.

Yes. The path leads through a thick tangle of us boycotting the everloving fuck out of you Americants for the duration of your obdurant bullshittery and just a wee bit longer to make the point. Then, it veers past a nice pond of you apologising and making fair, legitimate and binding trade deals with us.

That's the path you fucking fucks.

Should we be trading with terrorists? Trump had no reason to get his TV personalities together and then ignore them and bomb Iran.

I've gotten used to using Canadian products these days and they're pretty nice. I don't think I will change my habits after all this.

How can we trust any deal made with Lyin' Donnie?

He simply ignored existing agreements (even ones he personally signed) whenever it is convenient for him.

I got banned from another instance's politics site for saying 'death to America' (not Americans).

Would I get banned for saying that here?

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Probably sounds like you're a terrorist. I don't wish death on Americans but I certainly don't support America.

Same as the other commenter. I did a little looksie at the wiki for the slogan, and I understand that it doesn't mean death to the American people, but I really think that the slogan is far too easily misconstrued to imply death to Americans.

It really sounds like a call to violence, which is generally frowned upon in online communities and this one as well. I would recommend saying something else, personally.
