Brudda, it’s a geniune question. The article talks about physical products. I’m wondering how it going on other fronts i.e the non-physical. A real answer would be appreciated instead “I’m on high alert and will interpret any answer I see as malevolence”.
What? There’s absolutely no way we can interpret intent in this case - this could genuinely be a fair question asked in good faith.
“What about US tech?” could be interpreted a number of ways, from “are Canadians also divesting from US tech?” to “But Canadians aren’t divesting from US tech, what about that?”. There’s no reason to believe this person is going after the latter case here when “ok that’s retail, how’s tech doing?” is equally likely and imminently reasonable.
I’m fine to get dog piled here but I think you’ve assumed bad faith where there is no reason to make that assumption, especially after the user attempted to disambiguate in exactly the way I’ve described.
I’m also curious to see how Canadian usage of American tech companies has changed. I wonder if it got more people to quit Twitter finally.
You’re like the caveman who thought they saw eyes in the bushes only for there to be a clearing behind it.Stay on high-alert all the time. I’m sure it will do you good.

You’re not engaging with my whataboutism on my terms. Whaaaaaaaaaaa!!
What about whataboutism?

It wasn’t only tactical whataboutism, it was literal verbatim whataboutism.
That is the very specific method to get me to dismiss you.
No, you’re not. You’re attempting to undermine the central message of the story.
Something that you could have looked up. But oh no, you had to deliver a whataboutism turd of a comment.
You’re fooling absolutely no one.
Brudda.
