I was just reminded of a piece of history that was pretty prescient. In 1969, Mel Watkins and James Laxer, explained why, without the adoption of socialism, American control of the Canadian economy represented a threat to the survival of Canada as an independent country. We failed in 69.

I would like to see NO American owned anything in my country. The Americans are not our allies, shouldn’t be our trade partners & are certainly NOT our friends. They can’t be trusted. Period. #MakeAmericaGoAway 🇨🇦💪🏻

I want to like this post as a way of putting some ephemeral something in the social tip jar for informing me about this, but I'm so repulsed by the news that I physically cannot.

Isn't there another country that has wind power technology Fuck America If they don't wanna play, let them take their ball and play with themselves

It's not self-destruction. It's implementation of Russia's plan - announced decades ago, to destroy the US "from the inside" - updated through T rump's SIberian Candidate presidency. T rump asked Russia during a public speech to "help him out" by releasing hacked Dem emails - Putin helped him win.

Yes, this is the well-documented nefarious plan. WHY can people not see it? Of course there's the corrupt, disinformational media, and the US-target disinformation war by Russia against the U.S. Which NO U.S. media has identified on, nor reported.

There is no MSNBC. If you mean MSNOW, I'm still confused - they don't report on him being a Putin puppet daily, wym? I see quite a bit of their stuff but no one brings it back to the bigger framing of "this is all NOT for the benefit of the US, but for the benefit of Putin". Please clarify.

And this is why no one should bother investing in anything in the U.S. as long as Trump is still in office. He's not only open to do the bidding of any corporation willing to pay him, he's happy to try to harm other countries as well as his own in pursuit of securing more bribes.

I remember when many US companies and colleges, pushed by students and others, divested their business and stock holdings in South African companies during the later stages of apartheid. Time to do the same to the US. (And I say that as an American.)

The Socialist States of America led by Dear Leader, have decided you may not invest your money in whatever you want. How do you like that Canadians? So much for the land of the free....

Oh no, let’s not lump ‘America’ in with Canadians or Mexicans. We didn‘t vote this piece of shit in. When ppl hear ‘America’, they naturally assume the U.S. Unless you’re actually speaking in regard to the U.S.A.. then I’ll have much more to say.

The greed, ignorance, egotism of the USA is its downfall. And it has to be writ large for the world to obliterate this self-sabotaging approach of HUBRIS over all, worldwide. The bigger strategy is still in play though - more autocracies exist now than ever, and they aren't stopping.

They (Muricans) aren’t doing shit about their POTUS. I don’t care who in the U.S. did or didn’t vote for him or had a temper tantrum and voted independent or didn’t vote at all. If they don’t agree with what he’s doing, they’d damnwell fight to stop him and not with cardboard signs 😡

Many are fighting. But when the Prez NOR Congress don't care about voters -GOP plans to juryrig elections are in evidence currently -it turns out there aren't many levers. We need new levers, a new system. The same disinformation war is at work in Canada, this is a global takedown. Watch your back
