If we look at the top US companies market cap list, Canadians are still in love with the top 10 companies, if not most from the top 100. Seems the majority of loser Canadians prefer Canschluss. Welcome 51st state/15th territory! 50 billion maximum travel boycott is literally nothing when Google is worth more than the entire Canadian economy alone. Every Canadian still has a Google/Apple phone, uses Microsoft products, Amazon servers, Visa/Mastercard transactions, etc. etc. America’s got you by the balls and they will have your resources at this rate!

    Well, you certainly seem to be an asshole.

    Besides, you’re missing the point - ALL of the points.

    1. There are unfortunately a lot of things that cannot be done without US companies. You call people losers for having an Apple or Android phone or using a credit card, but what other options are there right now?
    2. We may not be doing perfectly - hell, we’re probably not doing as well as we should - but not getting everything perfect right away doesn’t negate what we’ve done.
    3. The point isn’t to hurt the US - we’re not big enough to really accomplish that. The point is to avoid the US as much as we can for our benefit and sovereignty.
