As the article pointed out, your fellow countrymen were willing to exercise their 2nd amendment rights on beer because a trans person drank some. I'd argue this could be considered a slightly more consequential issue.
The general opinion around the world is that your country has gone to shit. You're welcome to have your opinions but the rest of us are equally welcome to call you a moron.
It doesn't make much sense to remove "Provincial Park" when there are so many specific variations when you go further down to regional, municipal, city, community, etc. parks and they have a bunch of very specific (and often unrelated) park categories. Here are a few that are near me:
Park
Ecological Park
Memorial Park
City Park (none of which are near a city, run by a city, or even a municipality)
That would make sense if we used English (US), but we use English (CA). Just a brief check of the parks in my area shows all the national parks are labeled "National Park", the provincial parks are almost all "State Park[s]" with the occasional "Park", and the regional parks have no consistent or logical pattern but I counted at least 5 different park labels.
I listened to an interview with someone high up at LD (can't remember their title) and it was quite interesting hearing the logistics. Certain products (like holiday decorations) get ordered over a year out so they're harder to switch out, but it sounds like most other stuff goes up for renewal around this time so we'll see more non-American stuff by late spring. I also found it interesting they were mentioning they're really interested in sourcing more from Japan (where there aren't Canadian options) since the Yen is so low and they make a lot of good, cool, quality stuff that historically was too expensive.
You might have to miss out for a bit, but once they start noticing a significant drop they'll move somewhere else. People with "public personalities" want to be seen and heard, they'll go where people can see and hear them.
I completely understand the feeling. After the 2022 "freedom convoys" the maple leaf became associated with similar kinds of people. Canada Day 2022 was not a day filled with patriotism. It slowly made its way back to normal over the next 2 years, but up until the last few months someone with a flag flying from their car window still gave off a particular negative vibe. Now it's back and bigger than ever.
After years of being lumped in the same group with every momentarily [in]famous idiot from each of our countries, years of disregard of our regional differences and being plastered with stereotypes from obscure towns a whole country away, it's time we get to stop caring. The United States of America is threatening us. Not one guy, not one party, not certain states. Why should we give a shit that you live in one state or another? As the saying goes, if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. I don't see many solutions, just a whole lot of distancing yourself from those who represent you by whatever arbitrary distinction you can come up with. America is the problem. We don't want to hear from you until you've solved it.
Well both Russia and the United States have shown that treaties and other agreements with them are only worth anything until they unilaterally change their mind, so something like blocking Ukraine from NATO could easily be ignored if the United States (or Russia) ever sees an election again.
The fun thing is due to Tesla's business model this would effectively stop all Tesla sales overnight. Already bought one? Unless you're picking it up in the next day or two it probably hasn't cleared customs yet. Might want to cancel.
