"Ira told me he has already canceled “all but absolutely core American services” and will be boycotting American produce and other consumables. In anticipation of higher food prices, he’s planning to turn his front yard into an even larger vegetable garden this spring."

I applaud our neighbors to the north. I see they are booing the US National Anthem at Canadian sports events. And they should, because Americans voted for this, so a "Fuck Americans" sentiment is very understandable. I'm right there with them. We could have voted for Kamala Harris. We voted for this instead.

And these changes Canadians are making to their lives to avoid American goods are durable. These are changes that can stick, long after the tariffs have been lifted, and they will not go back to American goods. Paths of trade will be rewired, and dependence on American goods will vanish as these are replaced with goods from other, less capricious trade partners.

Republicans in Congress, who spectate as the government undergoes essentially a venture capital takeover, lack any patriotism. Trump's entire two weeks has been a running Impeachable offense. He should be removed from office, but they have abandoned their oaths.
