    I guess the /s wasn’t as blatant as I thought it was

    But really, from Canada’s perspective, it is free market choice. The products have a price that they’re not willing to pay, be it fiscal or idealogical, so they’ve opted to not buy them. It sucks for the sellers in the States who have relied on Canadian sales, it sucks for the Canadians who don’t have the same access to products they want from the US, and it sucks for all of us little people who have to pay an additional 200% tax on medical equipment because it has pieces which can only be made on highly specialized machines in Japan. All because of an amphetamine-addled, semi literate, profoundly incontinent Neo Nazi.

    The only winners in this game are the ones that are high enough above the waterline that they’ll weather the flood, the rest of us are headed down the drain.
