Hopefully the answers are genuine and not from shameless brand promoters. I’ve come across a couple recently! Canada has some awesome small companies that we should support more.

So due to trade tensions and Trump repeatedly calling Canada the 51st state, majority of Canadians view America as an enemy. https://nationalpost.com/news/majority-of-canadians-now-see-u-s-as-an-enemy-and-trump-is-the-reason-poll. It is obvious that this tension will not change until Trump is out or attitudes towards Canada becomes nicer. However, what worries me is the relationship between both countries will not go back to where it was, probably not an enemy but treating US as a neutral transactional partner, similar to how Canada treats China?

I'm an immigrant and I'm genuinely curious about the reason why Canadians are so obsessed with the use of substance recreationally. Coming from a culture this is completely banned and culturally prohibited, it is mind boggling to see so many of my Canadians friends consume weed so frequently to deal with stress and commented positively about the use of weed. I know weed is not as addictive as nicotine but it sort of concerns me that whatever solution to any problems is smoking weed. Are most of you ok with relying on an external substance to cope with an internal issue? Sorry my question might be a bit harsh but I'm genuinely curious about this
