Things these numptyfucks don't understand
There is no alcohol ban. Provinces have used their free market rights to not buy their shit. Ottawa has no power to order booze back on the shelves.
They need us a lot more than they realize. Without out potash, they can't grow food. Without our electricity and uranium, they can't turn on the lights. Without
The number of provinces. Seriously, the US ambassador to Canada doesn't know.
Canadians are willing to sacrifice to protect ourselves and each other. This is a particularly hard one for them to understand because they are greedy sociopaths.
And so many more....

Trump thinks he can force someone to buy what they voluntarily quit buying.

I think the other one would be more appropriate, with them going "wah wah wah".

Your average American buys lumber, so of course that's not a priority for relief.
Whereas your average alcobev company buys politicians, so of course regaining lost profits is a priority.

Nearly 100% of construction companies are small businesses in America, 68% of which employ five or fewer employees. DIYers also make up 25% of lumber sales.
