    Hard to get to zero while Danielle Smith and the Albertan Assholes sell us out any chance they get to lick trumps boots and make a quick buck. (She returned US booze to shelves in AB after what, 12 days lol. shocking /s)

        I sincerely hope so too, but that never seems to be enough without people being forced to take a stand via gov’t policy. And our gov’t caves to Trump at every opportunity (also looking at you Big Tech Tax that Carney, and EU folded on Canada Day, happy Canada Day everyone /s).

        My good friend who is very well off and supposedly “boycotting the States” bought US cherries over BC cherries (one of BC’s BEST products) the other day, and was surprised when I declined any, because I am actually boycotting the States. All it took was “Because they were on sale, the BC ones weren’t.” This is someone who makes over $100k/year by themselves, are DINK, and the price difference of $1.00/lb was enough to make them forget the boycott and go right back to buying US goods over prime, in-season BC goods, as long as they are on the shelf available.

        And this is Alberta we’re talking about with the booze. 30% of the population wants to secede (actual figure as of yesterday) and form little AmeriKKKa on the prairie and the other 70% (hyperbole) wants to stay in Canada but still hates LGBTQ people and the environment thanks to years of rightwing brainwashing and undermining the education system in AB. I literally CANNOT talk to family members in AB anymore it has gotten so bad, they are so brainwashed. Like that side of the family does not exist anymore.

        Danielle Smith is pushing another secession referendum right now! One of the ONLY Canadian politicians who went to Mar-A-Lago to swear fealty to Trump before he was sworn in lol. She should be charged with fucking treason and hung.

        If anything, I’d bet >50% of Albertans would rather choose US over Canadian wines a lot of the time, since Canadian wines primarily come from BC, Ontario, and Québec, all of whom they hate because sadly, they are too stupid (by design with the rampant education undermining) to understand how the Equalization system works, (or the pension system, or literally *insert any other gov’t program here *).
