“It's a five-alarm fire for American voters and for election officials”

    And in the meantime all you people will just bitch and moan about Americans but do nothing to help but that bitching and that moaning. What are you trying to prove? That you’ve never helped anyone before? Or you’re not willing to now? I don’t think this sounds as good as you all think.

      We’re very helpfully and politely reminding you that we’re your friends who spend money at your attractions and your best customers that bought your stuff, by refusing to travel and buy American for now. The booking level drops and car travel drops of 70% shows Canadians banding together and acting en masse. I am out protesting too with my fellow Canadian in front of Tesla, in front of consulates and embassies, in front of city and provincial legislative buildings, and we’re poised to elect someone taking a strong but measured response against Trump rather than MAGA-mini.

      Your president is hurting us as Canadians, and your president is hurting you as Americans. This requires action on both our parts, but on different levels since this is an American problem. It seems like the first challenge is getting the public at large to acknowledge that this is a problem. I think the rallies across the nation are a good first step. Keep going and the next steps to action will come as you organize. (Perhaps a general strike?)

        Canadians talk a lot of shit for people who were about to elect a crazy right wing populist in a landslide and only changed their minds because our crazy right wing populist threatened annexation.

          I have to give Trump and Musk props for that, showing the rest of the world how much a right-wing populist fascist government can turn their country into a clown-show.
