Just a thought.

Canada is banning assault weapons.

Is it time to organize a massive boycott of Canada?

[grey_whiskers]

Thoughts, comments?

[grey_whiskers]

*PING*

[cuban leaf]

What’s to boycott?

[Vaquero]

I bought a bale of peat moss from Canada once. What else do they make??

[VTenigma]

Canada can do what ever Canada wants. The U.S. is a different matter altogether.

[Cboldt]

Lumber, hydro power for northern states, Bombardier (lots of transportation).

[grey_whiskers]

Beer.

We could also refuse admittance to US Universities of graduates of Canadian schools (e.g. U of Toronto, McGill) which are otherwise highly respected schools.

[Vaquero]

Bomba-deer (I refuse to use the French pronunciation) makes decent engines. But I never owned one. I buy lumber from either Home Depot or a lumber yard. Is it marked where it comes from??

I have no idea where my power company is buying electricity. I know they have natural gas plants, but they may buy some from the canuks.

We've got enough on our plate right now in the US to be worrying about Canada's continued liberal bent.

What exactly do you propose we boycott?

Sounds like another "spend a dollar to save a nickel" idea. You'll lose 95 cents in the process and for what?

You've got too much time on your hands. Get a hobby.

We have enough trouble keeping U.S. politicians in Constitutional line. Canada is on it’s own.

[Vaquero]

Yeah. I usually drink Yuengling. US Universities are mostly Marxist. Good luck with that

[grey_whiskers]

So continue to bend over and lose, instead of going on the offense?

Tell ¿Jeb? we said "Hi."

[grey_whiskers]

Sod Off, Swampy.

[Yo-Yo]

What’s to boycott?

Labatt’s, Molson, Canadian Club, Seagram’s, Crown Royal, ...

[Artemis Webb]

Gee, I thought when you said “modest proposal” the idea was open to debate . I didn’t realize you would take it so personally. So if you wish to boycott Canada then by all means, go ahead.

Frankly speaking I have never been there. Nor do I recall buying any product with a “Made In Canada” sticker on it. Also there are no Tim Hortons within 300 miles of me. But if it makes you feel better I will stop watching Terrance and Phillip.

[grey_whiskers]

You made it personal when you said the problem was that I had too much time on my hands and I should get a hobby.

That wasn't substantive discussion.

Dishonest, projecting liberal troll much?

[grey_whiskers]

Oh wait; got you two confused in my last response.
Carry on.

[sauropod]

I think so.

It’s not only Justine’s fault. It is their rulers that are the problem.

And the populace permits them to do this.

You do realize you are talking about Canadians?

I can not imagine what a protest by Canadians would look like. Maybe when they are handing over their guns they will give the government a dirty look...and then apologize.
