    Honestly I’d rather this than deal with those smarmy fucks in the White House.

    You can’t trust a word they say, as evidenced by literally everything these last 10 years.

    I’m done with the US. I don’t care anymore. They’re the most self centred egotistical people on the planet, and I hope that as a country they can learn how their new favourite pastime of ruining friendships and relationships damages themselves the most. But they’re a nation run by abusers and takers, with no concept of mutual benefit anymore.

    It’s sad, and difficult, and painful. But that’s what an abusive relationship is.

    We treated each other as brothers not very long ago. Though that’s hard to imagine with today’s discourse.

    I was terrified with what I heard the Liberals were ready to fold on to get a deal. I am beyond happy we are in a situation of walking away. There is nothing to gain caving on anything anymore. The US will not follow through on their agreements anyway. Give them nothing.

    I think we need to focus on hard divesting from the US and focusing on our sovereignty. Cut out Microsoft, Oracle and Google from government use. Ban Facebook for its constant criminal behaviour. Remove all our data from US located or US owned datacenters. Slam Amazon on its appalling labour practices. Make Netflix pay into our culture like all media providers.

    Have our laws and values respected on our soil. No more soft ball to American corporations.

      The data has to off of American company data centers. Just having the data in Canada is not good enough.
