I don’t expect that, no. Sorry for not being clear. I meant to bring awareness to how we’re being bathed with information about nationalistic purchasing behaviour:
From Carney, although more so pre-election (eg, ‘elbows up’), and many provincial governments
In so much of advertising in Canada, flaunting that a product is ‘made in Canada’ or whatever
In similar messaging all over grocery stores - at the door, on the shelves
And as a pretty popular mainstream news topic for a while
Although nationalistic purchasing behaviour can be part of what you do if you identify as a proud Canadian, concerned citizen - whatever - it’s not the whole repertoire/shebang. With the pervasiveness of this messaging, and the economic world we live in (that likes to profit off this stuff), I think there’s danger in us thinking the two are equal versus a parts vs. the whole thing
What do you expect us to do, strap bombs to our chests and hit the Peace Arch crossing? We do what is available to us.
