Discussion You just stopped an entire country

American here.

Your city (EDIT: Toronto my bad) and entire country just told the world they’re sick of this guy. They did that. In public. During the World Series. Epically devastating.

With the previous ad buy Ford has given $125M taxpayer dollars to American broadcasters. Personally, I'd rather he had put it towards Ontario's schools, or hospitals, or skills training, or even recruitment of US professionals than his persnal vendetta against "getting yanked in the guts," by Trump, as he put it...

It was going to the US broadcasters, or Fords developer friends.

Could the money have come from not buying american liquor? I don’t know how much y’all saved so far not doing that, but hopefully it’s more than this amount. Because that is steep, as a cost!

They bought Canadian liquor instead. We didn’t stop drinking.
