Section is towards middle. They don't disclose how much the surplus is, but the obvious conclusion is that if Canadians never buy another US made vehicle, then it is a net reduction in jobs/revenue for US makers even if entire Canadian auto sector is destroyed. It is a significant ask for US investment if end result is losing money/US jobs for it.

Sorry, I'm not sure how to interpret this as an example of how you have personally fundamentally changed your life.

Mindful consumer habits is the example I gave. I used to be a sucker for convenience like a lot of people. I've also started paying attention to politics, and I mean politics not news headlines about politics. Making up my own mind on the opinions of others has been a real life changer.

Sounds like you have too much time on your hands

So you stopped eating out, stopped buying prepared food, stopped buying animal products, stopped paying for online subscriptions, stopped buying the products of slavery sold in all our supermarkets... right? Or what are we talking about here?

Yeah, those are the goals. Apart from not buying animal products. You're talking to someone on the decentralized fediverse, is that so hard to believe?
