When you see your media telling you that Canadians aren't going to the United states because of tariffs, I implore you to understand that the tariffs are the least of the reasons why.

First and foremost is the threat of military conquest.

Second, is the kidnapping of Canadians by ICE, being held for months without charge.

Third, the United States is fomenting sedition in the province of Alberta.

Fourth is the illegal trade war and tariffs.

There are certainly other reasons such as the American leadership is, or are, protecting pedos, and how the United States is threatening to annex Canada's neighbour, Greenland, and their invasion of Venezuela, and so on.

The tariffs are the smallest part and not even the whole story of that part.

@thedoh I wonder sometimes if the people who fall for the tariff BS or have any tolerance for any of the administration's lawless racist eugenic savagery are even on Mastodon. Speaking from a US perspective it's hard to get the messages in front of the ones who are susceptible, because most of the ones susceptible only are so because they're isolated from messages from anyone but those enabled by the current tide of power - in short they're not really online, or only in very captured corporate spaces like Facebook. I used to do a lot of outreach on that contingent in person, but everyone liable to listen in my circles is either converted by this point, or dead.

@cwicseolfor I think part of it is that people are simply not being told the full story.

@thedoh I'd very much agree, or they're getting a nonsense - that is, lies - version that's more misinfo than disinfo. As stated I used to do a lot of talking it over with those. If your instance federates with Threads or even Bluesky, I think this is just the right message needed. If not I suspect we on proper fedi are all likely to be already in the choir.
