It is Mexican, but it’s imported to Canada by an importer in Texas. Pop shoppe I know. They’re sold at a local fish and chip place near me. I’ve been opting for Brio, for now. That and store-brand.

Ah! That makes a bit more sense.

I fear that Europe, as is tradition, will fail to capitalise on this moment due to internal division, with China reaping most of the benefits as a result.

I would love to be wrong. I hope I am. I feel like an EU at the centre of global trade and geopolitics is the least awful option at this point in history. Although with the continued rise of the far right in France and Germany that may not be the case for much longer.

What benefit is there to British people protesting US government austerity programs from Trafalgar Square?

Not that I don’t agree with the idea that what trump is doing is callous; it’s just that I fail to understand why foreigners would protest the US government in this way when their own government is in the process of cutting welfare, healthcare etc., all while being extremely cowardly in their response to trump.

trump barely cares what Americans think of him. Imagine how much less he cares what a few thousand Brits think. Starmer is quite literally just down the street and at least with him there is a chance you will have your voice heard.

I mean it’s not necessarily the retailers. It’s Canadians themselves who aren’t buying them. If I read “états unis” on a product I will look for an alternative or go without.

Surely Trump will respect any agreement you make with him. He would never go back on his word.

Why is the UK being such a cowardly little bitch? I don’t get it.
