Seems like that is the default course of action when one country is doing a “bad” thing that the US or Europe doesn’t like.

I’ll admit that I don’t really know how that works, or how it’s enforced, or whatever. But could the EU and/or Canada or even China impose sanctions on the US now since the US is doing, um, very bad things?

    Not selling me on those downsides. Sounds like a much better world without those.

    Try selling this idea to the rest of your country’s population.

      Canada is already working on cutting American ties and strengthening relations with the EU. Local stores have drastically changed their stock since Canadian citizens stop buying American groceries. Now that Trump bombed Venezuela it’s only going to accelerate the process.

        Have they? Beyond, small, local measures, I haven’t noticed much difference. We still are trying to buy the F-35, we’re just as committed to American software and financial institutions and have no plans nor initiatives to transfer away, we’re doubling down on fossil fuels, much of which will go to the US, and we don’t really even (accurately) label which products are Canadian or not. I don’t know of a single government-led or funded initiative to reduce reliance on the US.
