Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

General comment: You'd prefer we simply ban your content? 'Cause we can do that if you'd prefer. It's not as if ... Well, let's move to a specific comment to finish that sentence.

“this burdensome framework unfairly targets global streamers with requirements that directly violate Canada’s obligations under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA),”

... the USMCA matters any longer since the USA seems to think it can take a shit all over it every time the world's oldest toddler gets colicky and throws a tantrum. The USMCA isn't worth the paper it's printed on, nor the bits it's stored in. I wouldn't be trying to brandish that thing in the face of the unilateral tariffs that your nation has decided to throw at Canada in direct contravention of that agreement you want to suddenly invoke.

Go fuck yourselves, Yanks. Especially considering:

The MPA in March 2026 put its support behind the Republican-led Protecting American Streaming and Innovation Act, ...

Like seriously. Go. Fuck. Yourselves.

Personally? I'm making sure from now on that not a cent I spend goes toward an American company, even (perhaps especially) an American entertainment company. 🏴‍☠️ all the way now.

It would be better to put a 20% tariff on US online services sold in Canada and let (an appointed agency of) the government allocate the money to Canadian content producers. If it's left to US streamers to decide what to fund, it will be thinly veiled US content and propaganda produced by some US company operating in Canada, charging exorbitant rates to achieve the required 15% and sending all profits back to the US.

I'd prefer an across-the-board 100% tariff on all American goods and services, with an additional tariff matching any US tariffs on similar goods and services, until all American tariffs on Canadian goods are dropped to zero.

And then keep the 100% tariff anyway because fuck the USA.
