It’s not just about the trade war. Nearly half of America’s neighbors to the north now think the U.S. is a bigger threat to world peace than Russia.

Elbows up, Canada. I’m so happy to see the Neighbors to the North take little shit from the Bully Cowards to the South.
Canadians can do a lot better.
Until I see bigger lineups at A&W (A&W Canada is actually 100% Canadian, no royalties or anything to the USA) than McDonalds, Burger King, etc, not even close to being a start on the way to good enough.
I can see lots of people checking labels, but we need to get back to “US apples rotting on Canadian shelves” levels of action again. I want to hear more about US businesses begging Canadians to come back. I want to hear Trump threatening Canada for being anti-America. I want it to be crystal clear where Canada stood.
The good news is, some airlines are canceling flights to the Untied States due to lack of demand
You’re not seeing as much US produce rotting because less places are buying it now. Last winter we were still dealing with having to not choose US oranges, but this winter the grocers have found alternatives. I’ve had plenty of South African oranges and cantaloupe this winter.
That’s fair I’ve seen a lot more non-US produce lately. But there is still a fuck-ton of it on the shelves. Apples and lettuce being two big offenders where I am. And…yams? Been dying for a goddamn yam for months but apparently only the US knows how to grow a damn yam.
There are great Canadian greenhouse lettuce growers putting out awesome product now. I hope we can see those guys selling out while the $4.99 head of lettuce from Ameristan turns brown waiting for a buyer that never comes.
Choices matter people. Every single one.
A&W has better food than other fast food joints, and this has been the case for years. If my family eats fast food it is always the teen burger.
I highly recommend Guard the Leaf on YouTube (yes I know).
He features what you’re looking for all the time.
Thanks for the tip!
I don’t get “elbows up”?
In hockey you keep your elbows up to guard against getting knocked around when the game gets rough.
Ah, makes sense. Thank you.
