40 sats \ 4 replies \ @Undisciplined 11h \ on: Canada's economy shrinks as exports to US plummet econ
Alright, who put their elbows down?
No one, ever, could have predicted that antagonizing the erratic protectionist president of the country your entire economy is built towards exporting to would backfire.
Youd be amazed how many Canadians I see who actually believed in #ElbowsUp.
And not just in a "Were gonna hold our own and stand strong" kind of way, but in a "We're STRONGER and we will DESTROY the US and Trump!" kind of way
Like complete delusion. These are the people who followed arrows at the supermarket and wrote walls of text throwing a fit on Facebook if you didn't because you forgot peanut butter in aisle 6 real quick

I have seen people wearing Elbows Up tshirts. Haha

Unfortunately, I doubt I'd be even a little bit shocked. I mostly work with Americans who are cut from exactly the same cloth.
Just yesterday I heard them freaking out about RFK cutting the funding for mRNA vaccine research. They still think those things are necessary for Covid!

What's so funny is someone in media actually asked Carney if cancelling reciprocal tariffs was "putting our elbows down" and he said no.
Haha
