This isn't just an American issue.

I'm not an American and I don't want to trust my email to a company that supports a government that is threatening to annex my country.

This isn't culture war stuff it's just common sense. I didn't fall for some us vs them trap, the current US government is frequently and loudly telling me that it's me vs them.

Like I said, black-and-white thinking - some company CEO supporting some particular public policy of an administration doesn't make them a part of "their" camp and hence your "enemy". I support the end of the genocide in Gaza and the war in Ukraine, and am happy that Trump as the US President wants to do so too (for his own political reasons, and in his own idiotic political ways). That doesn't make me a Trump MAGA fan or a right-wing supporter of the Republican.

I agree totally with you that it is black and white thinking -- either you're with us or you're against us.

Canada's sovereignty is not up for debate and we will not support a country that threatens us.

This means that we're not going to be buying nearly as many American goods, not going to be visiting America for tourism and not suffering the fools that you call politicians and diplomats.

As far as the average Canadian is concerned America can twist in the wind. The feelings of betrayal are real and won't be going away any time soon.

The world is tired of the inane histrionics and is moving on from America.
