American here. I had a passing thought while reading tariff war news and wanted to inquire. I seem to remember some stories about how there's some percentage of Canadians that are as crazy pilled as our MAGAs, flying confederate flags and such, and I was wondering, what are they up to these days? How are they taking things post Trump election and present tariff fighting? Are they also booing the american anthem at hockey games? Or are they buying Kentucky whiskey in solidarity? I find the idea of those guys so fascinating, but I have so little news sources for them. Anyone have any insight into what the chatter is like in those communities lately?

One good thing that’s come out of all this is that people are hanging Canadian flags in solidarity, totally erasing the previous use they were put to. Those other people have essentially lost all the oxygen to shout from their soapboxes, and their Trudeau stickers are now meaningless.

It’s been good to see people discussing things that can actually make a positive difference.
