Canada has huge reserves of oil, natural gas, minerals, timber. Americans need that.
Canada doesn’t need anything americans sell
Adobe Photoshop 👉 Use GIMP or Affinity.
Adobe Illustrator 👉 Use Inkscape or Affinity.
Word and Excel 👉 LibreOffice is better. No AI shit and it won’t spy on you.
Microsoft Windows 👉 Use Linux. It’s more secure anyway.
General Motors, Ford, Dodge, Chrysler, Tesla 👉 We don’t need shitty american cars. Buy Hyundai, Toyotas, Honda, Volkswagen.
Apple iPhone 👉 Buy a Samsung
Starbucks Coffee 👉 Just drink local coffee.
McDonalds 👉 Buy from A&W or Harveys
Hyatt Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Four Seasons 👉 Go to Canadian hotels
Amazon 👉 Fuck Jeff Bezos. Buy from your local stores.

Tourism 👉 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 👉 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
Yeah there are workarounds to most of these, it’s possible to get by. But it leaves much to be desired, and it’s a legacy system that has evolved very little over the years. It’s kind of like we live with the instant payment system built for the 2000’s and in my point of view, it sucks that we have missed the most of the last 20 years of development in the space.
