Here's a little something to do to help fight back

while at the same time supporting others under attack from the fascists. This is a link to a Canadian site that lists all kinds of Canadian product categories and you can click around and go buy online etc. Start spending it there, drop the vendors a comment that you are American and proud to help Canadians at every turn. Also be sure to look up one or two of the US sellers of that same product and be sure to drop them a comment noting that you are buying Canadian rather than supporting them.

Now comes the most fun part. Please be sure and buy some stickers, flags etc. of the Canadian Maple Leaf flag and place them around like on your car bumper, front door etc. and if you have MAGAT neighbors and own a house be sure to have a small Canadian flag flying along with Old Glory. It will drive them crazy. Remember they're already talking about you. Might as well give them something to talk about (ht to Bonnie Raitt). You can also get Maple Leaf pins to put on your lapel etc.

I love you Canada despite poutine and Labatt Blue.

pray at the Church of French Fries Go With Burgers and Gravy Goes On Mashed Potatoes. I realize different regions for different tastes but I always poke fun about poutine.

and on the back of the envelope. I'd carry them in my pocket and stick them on things like "community" bulletin boards at the grovery store etc. I would especially go to school board meetings where MAGATS might be in force and be sure to have my Canadian flag pin on and a sticker or two on my notebook cover. I'd love to have the time, and money, to have someone make me little battery powered "light up" flags for the back of my boots. That way when it's my turn to speak at the school board meeting I could be sure the MAGATS could get a good look.

I just bought a new printer to do that very same thing. I am making a list of pithy labels to stick everywhere!!!
