Canada has huge reserves of oil, natural gas, minerals, timber. Americans need that.

Canada doesn’t need anything americans sell

Adobe Photoshop 👉 Use GIMP or Affinity.

Adobe Illustrator 👉 Use Inkscape or Affinity.

Word and Excel 👉 LibreOffice is better. No AI shit and it won’t spy on you.

Microsoft Windows 👉 Use Linux. It’s more secure anyway.

General Motors, Ford, Dodge, Chrysler, Tesla 👉 We don’t need shitty american cars. Buy Hyundai, Toyotas, Honda, Volkswagen.

Apple iPhone 👉 Buy a Samsung

Starbucks Coffee 👉 Just drink local coffee.

McDonalds 👉 Buy from A&W or Harveys

Hyatt Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Four Seasons 👉 Go to Canadian hotels

Amazon 👉 Fuck Jeff Bezos. Buy from your local stores.

Maxwell House Coffee 👉 Balzac’s Coffee Roasters is Canadian

Tourism 👉 Visit Quebec, Banff National Park, Niagara Falls, Vancouver Island, Johnstone Strait, Yoho National Park. Go north to watch beautiful Arctic landscapes. At least you won’t be shot and killed.

Boeing 👉 Buy Airbus. At least they won’t crash.

What do americans sell that Canadians actually need? Nothing. They just sell convenience. Their products are often substandard

    Although it’s probably going to be only the high-end models, unless dropping the quotas on Chinese cars becomes part of the trade war.

      I hope that’s not part of the 50k quota of Chinese made vehicles of which half was gobbled up by Tesla.

        I didn’t hear about the Tesla part, but I guess it makes sense. If you only can sell a few thousand cars, why wouldn’t it be the ones with the largest margin?

        Yes, BYD would have been exactly the vehicles in mind when that policy was set up.
