American who recently visited Canada. Yah I didn't see our shit anywhere, and that's cool to me. I got to try a bunch of new stuff!

You know what's ironic? American products are harder to sell abroad because of the dumb tariffs, people boycotting fascism, and now the screwworms. And all three are directly caused by Trump.

It's not ironic. The destruction of the US has always been the goal.

Canada has better beef anyways

Not that Canadians can currently reasonably afford beef. Prices are insanely inflated.

I've pretty much eliminated beef, because it's by far the worst climate offender. Pork and chicken are cheaper and lower impact by every measure as far as I know. A burger every few months, maybe.

It honestly hasn't been difficult.

Yeah, that’s why I’m Flexitarian now, I’m only having a burger 2 times a month

If you want good quality beef grown in warm conditions, Australian beef is best-in-class and available cheap at the moment since China is playing tariff games with us.

Where was this meat even going? I’ve never one seen anything but maybe some “USDA” Ham stuffed in a corner that no one’s buying.
