A turn of the century Main Street, USA. Over the horizon looms a giant Canadian flag, made out of circuitry. In the foreground is a pixelboard sign reading 'U.S. BORDER CLOSED.'

I have had it. What can we do as private citizens to help your quest?

@Cory Doctorow interesting piece of info

They'll tell you that most Americans own stock, but the amount of stock the average American holds rounds to zero. Nearly all US stock is held by the richest 10% of Americans – the ones who are backing Trump and getting rich off Trump

here in germany in particular conservative politicians always tend to show the usa a shining example where everyone invests in the stock market and tell us we should do too ...

@pluralistic how was your presentation received by the Digital Govt Leaders?

I'm one of the 6138 that pushed back on C11 and other Canadian DCMA legislation. What a mess!
