I think the shutdown of auto and aerospace manufacturing will do enough damage on both sides.

Relationships between the us and Canada are forever tainted thanks to the orange douche bag. I think it's time to do a few things

Invalidate NAFTA 2.0 and negotiate solely with Mexico when it comes up for renewal.

Also Look at existing agreements with the us and consider them null and void or at the very least about to spoil. Defence agreements technically fall here so let's prep for the us turning Thier backs on us.

Revert copyright laws to more sane say 10 years plus a 5 year extension if warranted and justification is more than more moneies please. Make this retroactive to all works in all mediums in all fields.

Consider poaching talent from the US offer good apples a way out and use the talent to making a greener economy. Let's not rush to the bottom here let's make Canada better stronger and more resilient to energy price swings.

Invest in projects that improve our resilience to market forces. Let's try some ideas out vertical farms solar on new builds micro nuclear reactors lets give the lot a go and see what sticks.

Strengthen our electoral process maybe make a stab at something other than first pass the post. make it so the gop playbook doesn't work here.

I lost track isn't Canada a reliable exporter of medical isotopes too?

Edit hmm seems the us imports alot of those https://healthimaging.com/topics/medical-imaging/molecular-imaging/why-us-still-dependent-foreign-medical-isotope-production

This is exactly what we need to be looking at, that and patents, DMCA.

I also hope we latch on to EU directives and force companies to have proper GDPR like requests

Well it's not like you can insure the houses anymore in Florida and with enough time there's going to be a hurricane that wipes the region out again. Better to let some hillbilly be the bag holder

I hope we throw in somethingn into the retaliatory package like vehicles entering the Canadian boarder need to be zero emissions, those trying to enter with non compliant vehicles will have them seized at the boarder.

That alone should keep most riff raff out of Canada.

Neat the power to the us gets shut off 6 hrs after the announcement 🤣

I mean I think in principle it would be a minor realignment. But the devil is in the details. Could be that there is something silly like definitions of operating voltages or electrical safety standards burried in there that would be costly/ show stopping ( although admittedly would be funny to enact to mess with shared power with the yanks)

I mean we could just close the borders/ air travel a few days a week as a trial run to see how it goes. A trail separation if you will

I hope canada charges a direct a carbon tax per foriegn vehicle on entry and exit

Sure all American refugees can settle in Nunavut. Locations to be reserved for the American savages by the government of Nunavut.

Americans will be expected to stay on these reserves and not mingle with local populations

Ok yesterday I heard from someone that staff from MDA Brampton were on strike and couldn't find anything but articles from 2020 and 2009 so I took down the post because I couldn't verify.

Anyway good luck guys and gals
