Mr. Carney, please tell the Amerikan trade negotiators we are *not* changing anything in our purchasing habits. Our 'Buy Canadian' is no different from their 'Buy Amerikan' policy. It would be appropriate to tell these hypocritical asses to fuck right off if they think Canadians are going to cave in to their bullying.

The suits can do whatever they want, but the #ElbowsUp boycott isn’t a product of the Carney government and it’s not a national policy. Put the fascist’s product on the shelf all you want, but you can’t make people buy it.

“The document also raised concerns about the federal government's ‘Buy Canadian’ procurement policy that aims to ensure Canadian products and workers are prioritized in contracts worth $25 million or more.”

I wish I had $25 million to buy products.

Meanwhile the Buy American law passed in 1933 has a $10,000 upper limit.
