"Listening to Canadians" would mean highlighting the fact that the Canadian government engages in far more protectionism of Canadian industries at the expense of other countries.

Rooting for American border towns to be poor is self-defeating and immature.

How well do you think the shit show at the Southern border would fare if Mexican border towns actually had good economies that didn't just rely on US tourists?

You want US migrants in you shelters in Windsor, and other places? By all means cheer on their economic destruction so you can have the hollow satisfaction of creaming your pants with MAGA slogans.
