Americans choose most expensive way possible to discover what goods made in Canada (thebeaverton.com)

The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.

The scores of “don’t blame me / don’t blame all of us” comments ring hollow.

If Americans want to convince Canadians that they don’t want what the person elected to represent them wants then I expect to see “support Canada” rallies in every democrat-leaning city across the country.

Even if it did absolutely nothing to solve the problem it would at least fill me with a hope that a few people actually give a damn.
