Yeah. If BYD wants to take over a car plant or something, I'm sure something could be worked out.

It'll be all "North! To Alaska! We're headin' north, the rush is on!"

And fuck power levels!

But yeah, if the big bidness boys pwaying big bidness games are going to take their ball and go home, we should start taking things back in return. IP rights. Trademarks.

Tax breaks.

If they want to be 'Murican, let them go be 'Murican. We don't need 'em 'round these parts.

It's incredibly difficult in a media landscape controlled by capitalists, unfortunately. And there's been very little effective action in creating mainstream alternatives to capitalist news media.

The public's memory is immaterial. The public really has no long term power. Decisions are made for us by politicians and businesses.

They're the one's who need to remember that the US has threatened their positions.

Voting with your wallet doesn't make for sustained, long term change. It requires too much work, and it's umder constant attack by marketing.

And the 338 model now has the CPCs firmly in minority territory, with the Liberals potentially able to maintain power with NDP & Green support.

You the People cannot be trusted to keep fascism at bay.

Of course they can't. The founding mythology? The military fluffing? The pervasive propaganda over American exceptionalism?

It's a fascist country. It just doesn't always have a totalitarian government.

It's probably not cheaper than just shooting orphans for sport.

Totally. Sobeys also hasn't thrown up any plexiglass mazes, at least around here. That was the last time I ever stepped foot in a Lowblaws.

Fuck Loblaws, but don't expect Sobeys to be better at properly labeling Canadian products. The number of Canadian made products, by Canadian owned businesses that don't have the little maple leaf tag next to them is very questionable in its own right. American brands selling the same product types have been getting the label, though, which is highly suspect.

Just assume those little stickers have been paid for at any big chain.

Gotta go further south this time. Warching Mar-a-Lago burn will be fun.

Yeah! We should all be handing out swords in these uncertain times!
