      Maybe it will help if you think of “living in a peaceful, sovereign, strong nation” as something you also like, as that is changing too. Then decide how important each thing is to you.

        Its a coke, buddy. Chill.

        The dude has clearly already made huge, direct changes to his purchasing to cut out American products. He got 99% of the way there.

        No need to shame him with “buying a coke means you dont want a sovereign Canada” type rhetoric because it just makes you and your goal look ridiculous. It reads like “you used a plastic straw so you want to watch the earth burn” level of wacky.

        Take the win you already have on this one.

          Besides quoting the wrong person, try to bear in mind it doesn’t make sense to argue “it’s a coke buddy, chill” and then argue that it’s somehow a big enough deal to spend time defending.

          It’s either “just a coke” or it isn’t. I totally agree. It IS just a coke. That’s exactly my point.
