    I saw this in a Canadian article as well.

    People check to see if they’re American and then turn them upside down so the next person doesn’t have to look it up. Not so much a protest as a warning to others who care.

      I don’t believe this. The average Canadian/Eurooean is not aware of associated situation.

      Edit: ok so the Canadians seem to have a proper movement going.

      With the average European however I stand my ground, most are not aware or gaf

          But you’re right, I’m not to be taken seriously because this the comment section of a social media platform… I’m sitting the toilet rn, not writing some paper for a study

          Canadian here, more than happy to be your friend and also say yes, we’re pissed off. It really doesn’t take much for Canadians to like you: just don’t be a jerk, bonus points if you like hockey, that’s….basically it.

          It takes a lot to get us genuinely mad. But if there’s one thing that gets us outta the cabin, it’s the opportunity to dust off our ol’ Nazi-stomping steel toes.

        Clearly you aren’t from around here then. Everyone I’ve talked to is avoiding American products and I’ve personally seen upside-down items. Maaaaaaybe you shouldn’t make statements about the average Canadian if you’re not informed.

          That’s just our lemmy bubble I think. The human tends to overestimate society’s opinion on the topics they are invested in, imo

              America: declares economic war vs the entire world.

              Americans: “Good thing people don’t pay attention to things that directly effect them”
