With all due respect, and I’m sorry to those who voted Kamala, this is our only option.
The only way Canada succeeds is when the American people are hurting enough that they push for change from the inside.
I’m very sorry to small honest US companies, but we don’t have the luxury of choice or leniency on this matter anymore.
Also this is the second time Trump has been elected. Whatever excuses people have, I can’t look at this as a one off or crazy event. I have to see this as the future of American diplomacy and how we can expect to be treated.
As an American, I hope you all please keep doing what you’re doing. Most U.S. citizens may be too chicken shit to say or do anything (yet), but witnessing solidarity among Canadians who refuse to stand down gives me hope.
As soon as the election was called, I knew my life would be fucked. The U.S. oligarchs think they’re beyond reproach because spineless U.S. citizens aren’t doing anything besides lick boot. The rest of us, feeling trapped and powerless, feel supported by this type of news. Do what you must.
tRump is not an aberration, the world is now seeing the USA with the mask dropped. Oligarchy is baked into the U.S. constitution, rich white males have ALWAYS held the power there, despite all the window dressing and PR campaigns. The county was founded on genocide, built on slavery and imperialism, they burned women at the stake for fuck’s sake. The slogan “Kill a Commie for Christ” is not just a bumper sticker for half of them, but a bucket list item.
Who would have thought you where founded by rich white men who didn’t want to pay taxes and your still ruled by them. I know you have fairy tales to tell you otherwise but…
They had to lay on the fairy tales quite thickly to get the proles to fight their war for them.
Let’s not get too high-and-mighty though.
For just one example, the reason BC’s old growth forests are something like 98% gone today is because a bunch of rich old white men sold off most of the forest-bearing land to… themselves and their friends. Canada had (and has) its own oligarch infestation.
American exceptionalism and manifest destiny never went away.
They have been part of the American psyche for generations.
I understand. And of course my concerns are mostly aimed towards those, regardless of nationality who are less well off than myself. When I suggest one support local and small, I know that lessens both of our larger groupings (nations, corporations), at the same time it strengthens our smaller groupings (communities, neighborhoods, families). If you wish, you could buy bicycle parts from these small companies, regardless of location, for instance I just heard of a bike frame builder, Mone’ (http://www.monebikes.com/) in Silver City, NM who runs his operation out of a van. If you look, you can find similar in your area. Together, supporting the small circles, we’ll move forward humanely. I feel your respect. And, hey, look at us, doing international relations, on a non-corporate federated social media. Nothing to feel sorry about in that. Peace.
Nothing against the guy making bikes in his van, but if anyone is looking for a good made in canada bike frame, moose bicycle is awesome and very reasonably priced.
That’s exactly what I’m talkin’ about! Now I want a Moose Bike! https://moosebicycle.com/
