Support local products, but more importantly, support local labour. The workers are us, not the capital.

We thank everyone for supporting the boycott of American products. But please buy Lays chips. There are 1200 union members with the Steelworkers at the plant in Cambridge and they need your support. Boycott American plants but support the jobs here in Canada. #elbowsup

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

Hannah Arendt says the most evil thing about fascism weren't the atrocities but the willingness of people to go along. Trump has cut funds to the most desperately poor. He threatens Canada. But he can't tell you where to spend your money. His economy needs our tourism $$. You know what to do.

My Mom is a miner's daughter. Her whole family fought Nazis. She was walking through the snow with her walker when a woman asked her,"Will we survive Trump?" "Of course we will," Mom replied. "I don't need asparagus. I'll eat root vegetables. We've done it before." That's Canada. #strongasfuck

When Americans (God bless ‘em) say “Sorry about Trump” this is a perfect response:

In case you're not a Canuck, there's a huge movement here right now to make the effort not to buy American. Home Hardware, not Home Depot. Cdn Superstore, not Walmart. French's ketchup, not Heinz. People are putting up websites with alternatives to everything from clothes to groceries to appliances.
