    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…

    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.
