Canada has huge reserves of oil, natural gas, minerals, timber. Americans need that.

Canada doesn't need anything americans sell

Adobe Photoshop πŸ‘‰ Use GIMP or Affinity.

Adobe Illustrator πŸ‘‰ Use Inkscape or Affinity.

Word and Excel πŸ‘‰ LibreOffice is better. No AI shit and it won't spy on you.

Microsoft Windows πŸ‘‰ Use Linux. It's more secure anyway.

General Motors, Ford, Dodge, Chrysler, Tesla πŸ‘‰ We don't need shitty american cars. Buy Hyundai, Toyotas, Honda, Volkswagen.

Apple iPhone πŸ‘‰ Buy a Samsung

Starbucks Coffee πŸ‘‰ Just drink local coffee.

McDonalds πŸ‘‰ Buy from A&W or Harveys

Hyatt Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Four Seasons πŸ‘‰ Go to Canadian hotels

Amazon πŸ‘‰ Fuck Jeff Bezos. Buy from your local stores.

Maxwell House Coffee πŸ‘‰ Balzac's Coffee Roasters is Canadian

Tourism πŸ‘‰ Visit Quebec, Banff National Park, Niagara Falls, Vancouver Island, Johnstone Strait, Yoho National Park. Go north to watch beautiful Arctic landscapes. At least you won't be shot and killed.

Boeing πŸ‘‰ Buy Airbus. At least they won't crash.

What do americans sell that Canadians actually need? Nothing. They just sell convenience. Their products are often substandard

They have essentially closed their plant in Brampton and moved production to the US.

Apparently the plant is going up for sale now.
