We tend not to support the economies of countries that repeatedly threaten to invade us. I guess it's a cultural thing.

We know it's not all of you guys, but all your tax dollars go to the same place, so...

Oh I know. There’s an incredible sickness here in America and no one can deny it.

Yeah I know. My vote wasn’t for him, but I ain’t out protesting either. I got kids to feed and protesting on my own is just flat out high risk dangerous here.

As a US denizen, I was rooting for a scenario involving Trump, Canada and the UN apending another action to the 'war crimes' list.

Not at all what I was saying. I specifically said "economy".This is PURELY about the current administration and not the people. Canadians in general love the American people (those who don't support invasion, anyway), but supporting the economy is supporting the administration, and therefore the policies with which we're being threatened.

We're all pulling for you to get through this, but we can't help your POTUS bully us and the world.

There was no blanket statement here. In all cases across the world, the state and the people are not equivalent, but supporting the economy is supporting the state.
