Four in five Canadians believe boycotting U.S.-made goods or avoiding travel to the United States could help strengthen Canada’s bargaining position with its southern neighbour.
Of course it is the duty of Americans to pressure the US government, we were talking about the actions of Canadians to pressure their own govt to delink. To be unrealistic, the entire core (1st world) needs to revolt against US leadership. However they’re much too comfortable. People aren’t ready to admit that to achieve this quality of life without enslaving the whole periphery (also called 3rd world), we would need to spend years working on mechanizing and boosting agricultural (meaning environmental too) development, PLANNING industrial development (managing pollution yikes), which means rebuilding a huge skilled labor force. That’s completely against the US economic system though, it would require controlling investment flows and setting production targets and managing competition. So we are very far out from a solution. No excuse for just sitting on our asses though.
Just because you are now miffed with me not meeting my own standards doesn’t mean I’m wrong. If you just rally behind your politicians and pat yourself on the back for buying more maple syrup then in 10 years your kids are gonna be doing another genocide and I’m gonna be shacked up somewhere semiperipheral enough. At least I will be clear of the blast zone
