Even if all the ice melts (when there are going to be real problems) Russia doesn't have anywhere near the capacity to launch an amphibious attack against Canada.

Taking into account how their invasion of Ukraine, with massive land borders, was botched, there is no chance they ll succeed.

So non RPGs are better RPGs? You don't have to like RPGs.

The talking points might be, that supremacist US attitude is not. It's been there for decades.

Its not the Russians or Trump there is big part of the US that is hostile to anybody but their, imagined, version of America and places no real value on others even allies.

I am not struggling with anything, you are just not making any sense.

By your arguments Canada should neither put tariffs on the US nor really promote a boycott since in both cases, Canadians lose out. So why did you suggest Canada should respond with a boycott?

But if Canadians actually boycott a US product it doesn't matter whether the price is increased or not since they will not be buying it anyways. It only makes a difference for the Canadians that will not boycott US goods.

Respectively passing up on a cheaper/better US good due to boycott will hurt the boycotter.

The only difference is if individual Canadians get a choice or not.

Are you talking about prices in the USA? I am asking why you prefer a boycott by Canadians instead of Canadian sanctions which would raise the prices in Canada. But if you are for a boycott the price as set by tariffs is irrelevant if it's not bought anyways.

He didn't accuse you of not being a leftist, he accused the Democrats™ of that.

Your comment there as well as your description as an anarchist seem to imply that your are not a Democrat yourself but you merely want them to win instead of Trump (lesser evil and all that).

You apparently called them a Trump supporter (which is calling someone not a leftist as you admit you did).

You feel disrespected by people arguing with you after you argued against the original post. Then you come here and say the quiet part loud.

I don’t want to argue, but I do want to get the last word in

It's amazing how many people expect others to help them realize their vision when they show contempt for those persons' value as insignificant.

Also a day after posting this piece he shared this inane, rumbling attack on FOSS by some guy.

We also need to make sure that EU made equipment can be produced without non-EU components which is currently not the case for a lot of it.

Because those developers are not actually trying to get it to work in Linux, they are trying to get it to work in Windows.

Game developers that are licensing denuvo probably are trying to get their game with denuvo.

Linux intended software does not have the performance issues denuvo has.

Is your issue with tariffs vs voluntary boycott the removal of choice from the individual?

Politically an effort to be strong-armed must be answered in terms that the aggressor will perceive as strong. A call for a voluntary boycott will not cut it. It will also not be as effective at reducing reliance on US which Canada probably actually needs.
