There was a recent poll in Canada showing that, on average, 80% of Canadians are trying to buy more Canadian and fewer American products. In the demographic most likely to have Trumpist ideals, only 70% plan to change their habits but among other tranches, it's more like 90%. I'm impressed.

Boycott everything Bezos. Whole Foods. Amazon. The Washington Post.

The options aren't ideal but I'll take the banker too.

Today is Flag Day in Canada. Usually no one really remembers or cares but this year feels different. Our flag used to be heavily inspired by the Union Jack, but in 1967 we started using the "red and white with maple leaf" design. Here's a few suggested designs that weren't accepted.

I realize now that I have a “trade deficit” with the store across the street. I walked over and bought a jug of milk. The store is abusing me and I’m tired of subsidizing it by buying something at a fair price that I want. I’m going to apply a tariff that will raise the future price of milk for me.

Got a robocall invite to attend a political rally for a party I'd never vote for. Wish I could make a reservation and not attend but the call said to just show up. Wonder whether I could go with some friends so we could do our version of a black ocean. Don't think it would make a difference.

BTS as Shakespeare: YG: Heavy is the head which wears a crown TH: If music be the food of love play on HS: Better three hours too soon than a minute late JK: Listen to many, speak to a few NJ: To thine own self be true JM: We are such stuff as dreams are made on SJ: Lord what fools these mortals be

My account has both kpop and political content; mostly reports of other people's stuff. I'm Canadian. IQ47 is being a numpty. So are his buddies. I'm inevitably going to repost more political content than usual. Apologies to kpop people; free free to mute me for a while if you wish.

MEXICO ANNOUNCES RETALIATORY TARIFFS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. Here is a translation of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's statement:

I saw this post online. Just be a decent and straightforward Canadian who understands the need to protect our beautiful and fair land. Don't be a weasel or spread the rage bullshit of Danielle Smith and gang. Nobody from outside can beat us. Stand up to the quislings.
