    Canada needs to close our border to the USA. At this point I’m all for the tarrifs if it means our country completly detaches itself from that sinking ship

        I would have thought so too but I’ve been avoiding buying anything American recently and it’s a lot easier than I expected. Our stores would definitely look a lot emptier for a while but I think it’s worth it in the long run

          Depends if you’re buying food or foodlike products. Lots of heavily processed junk food is from the US
