How? I genuinely believe something along the lines of an organized boycott would be far more impactful than a hail mary petition. The reason I think it wouldn't work is because most people couldn't commit. That's why I said this isn't activism.

It's not activism if you're not putting in any effort. I don't care if people downvote me, but at least post an actual opinion. Have an actual stance. I'm glad others have posted some, although all of them seem to be along the lines of "this petition will definitely fix everything so we don't need to try anything else".

Appeasement was when Allied powers allowed Hitler to build a giant military and invade neighbouring countries without penalty. It wasn't about negotiating a trade deal. When negotiating, it is expected both sides are willing to give up some of their wants to reach a deal. Giving something up during negotiation isn't appeasement.

This article was written by an American for Americans. It compares the Finnish parental benefits system to that of the US. Canada is never mentioned once and the monetary amounts are all in USD.
