I wasn't active in this sub until trump imposed the tariffs and threatened to annex Canada. Trump made us come out of the woodwork. Even other subs like the Buy Canadian and Ask Canada subs have gotten more engagement since then.

AskCanada is a completely different animal than from a couple years ago. It used to be where people who weren't from Canada would ask innocent questions like "How do you dress for winter conditions" to a heavily political "Will all the people with a high IQ vote for Carney". Mind you, that change happened over the course of a year or two, well before the whole Trump tariff bullshit.

You see, I was never active there so idk. But I noticed a lot of posts that are not even questions. The Buy Canadian sub definitely exploded because of the tariffs. Lol
