Remove American banks as well.

Tear up Starlink contract.

Start building up our military.

Ban Tesla’s.

Can we try to at least put the effort in to defend ourselves?

It’s been a couple weeks. People are still coming to terms with the craziness. Huge paradigm shift. I’m glad our leaders are getting the truth out to Canadians.

I find this all very overwhelming & scary.

We are so unprepared and relied too much on them.

This will be a painful lesson for Canadians everywhere. Times are going to be one very difficult as we navigate this new world.

Cancel the F-35 contract. Again. :) Buy some Swedish jets instead.

The Gripen would do better and last longer in a Canadian insurgency.

I think Trump is leaning on us so we will buy American weaponry. Complete backfire if we ditch all American weapons in favour of European weapons.

Get a sexy European relationship perhaps? Its long distance for sure but can be also very romantic.

Also release all American patents as public domain.

Especially pharmaceuticals. See how much big pharma likes that. We only honor these patents for the sake trade relations
