It’s not about race, religion, identity, gender, or ability. It’s about economics.
The powerful use race, religion, gender, and ability against us because we care more about them than money. They use our moral impulse against us because they have denied their own. #Empathy #Inclusion #Acceptance
That's only if the capital owners choose to reinvest back in Canada. Buying Canadian is a piece of fight, but we also have to stay on top of what the sellers are doing too.
Apologies to Canada for the crap we're causing. But I agree it is necessary to send a clear message. The US has to find out the hard way that the world needs us less than we need them.
Labelling remains an issue. Made in Canada, Product of Canada, Prepared in Canada are clear enough but often not prominent. Imported by and Prepared for often don't say where it is imported from or is prepared.
Some retailers are already adapting. IGA grocers (in Québec at least, but I think ON too) now has added a sorting option to see only Canadian products in their online service.
I've but back products on shelves with "imported by xxxx" with no statement where imported From. even wrote to a prominent low cost store that i wouldn't buy their product until they changed their labels
THIS! $50 min This is the people's real power-purchasing power. Oligarchs/fascists can't be negotiated with, won over, or relied on to do the right thing. They give no fucks. Hit 'em where it hurts...their profits.
Let's impose our own personal sanctions on these greedy bastards.
We can do better than that per week. We buy US products largely because our supermarkets stock them, despite availability of, often better & cheaper, Canadian product! Do better 🇨🇦!
By buying 🇨🇦, you are also strengthening the 🇨🇦$, & that in turn makes it cheaper to buy any other imported product!
Haven’t set foot in Walmart since that first ’51st state’ comment. Well, except for today when I returned something I bought in mid-January. It’s been a challenge to find some things but I gotta do what I gotta do. 💪🇨🇦
We as citizens already are generally boycotting US goods. It’s a movement now that will not slow down.
Once tariffs comes, if they come, the Govt will deffo target red states.
I can give grace to people who had things booked and the cost of cancelation would have been too high. But, going forward...it is not just refusing to put money into their economy. It could literally be dangerous (illnesses, food safety, threats from emboldened MAGA).
AI art is theft. Anyone claiming to be a good person would refrain from using AI art. If you cant take the time to make up your own images then pay an artist. You cant pretend to care about the worlds problems, while also putting artists out of work and adding to climate problems. Its hypocritical.
You sure? He’s only available because he’s been accruing injuries and he’s not the same player anymore. Give me Mack, and I think Crosby could be had for your 2nd bc it’s right at the top of the round. The draft is also deep at ED, Bosa will miss a lot of time most likely.
Canada is working hard to ensure we buy Canadian or any country other than the states. It will be hard to switch the trade back, because people don't trust the states to do the right thing. I am Canadian, proud and free. Viva La Resistance!
I work abroad in South Korea. For the most part, it is easy to avoid American products in grocery stores. I do check labels and if Ivam not sure, I don't need it. No fast food or coffee unless it is a Korean company.
The sucky part is some nefarious grocers are claiming products on websites as Cdn when they are not! It’s become tricky but we are resilient and crap like that only makes us more determined to a) boycott the store completely
b) not buy the product they’re lying about
I feel like most are trying their best to buy products made anywhere but the US. Every time I go to the grocery (since the topic of annexation) shoppers seem more contemplative as they shop. I know I am!
I used to buy Daddario (American) guitar, violin viola strings. Replaced with a company that makes what I need in Germany and has a location in Canada. 👍
Most of us have shifted far more than that. Personally it's 100% Won't buy a thing manufactured or packaged in the US. Not a bottle of water if I am dying of thirst. #FuckAmerica
As a citizen of the USA, I thank you for that! This is not sarcasm! Please bear with me. Unless MAGAt factory workers and owners are financially devastated by Agolf Twittler's policies, threats,words, and aspirations, our ship of state has no chance of righting itself!
We divert nearly $250 a wk or about $13000 a yr. Never thought of it until the hype and now all I see in the stores are shoppers reading labels, putting product down then looking for alternates.

Small steps that everyone can make have a huge impact. The US aid becoming a mob state - everything is a shakedown - this hits them where it hurts most and rewards other Canadians
You're better think about closing your borders cash Patel's in charge of the FBI Kristi noams in charge of homeless security and rfk's in charge of the HHS why wouldn't you close your borders
I haven't bought anything American since asshat was in the 1st time ! Definitely will not buy anything from the USA because of dumpster removing safety regulations !
We check every item we purchase. If our favorites are not Canadian, we have switched brands. I notice more and more people in the grocery store looking closer at the labels.
What Canadian products are available in the US? I’m an American and I want to do anything I can to damage that orange piece of shit. I’d happily pay extra.
I have begun checking everything I pick up in the store. If I can’t tell from the packaging, I use a barcode scanning app. I’ve stopped going to Walmart. I don’t use Amazon anymore.
They will divide and rule. Their strength lies in unity, in one voice and one ideology, and so should yours. They will call their supporters patriots, the only “true Americans.”
Don’t let them divide you — remember you’re one people, one nation, with one common good.
Absolutely boycott the criminal elements of US. We are more in agreement with you. Please start by eliminating Trump/musk stocks, truth social, x, Tesla, Trump resorts, hotels and anything else associated with them that hasn’t already gone bankrupt.
I am boycotting all American made products, as best as possible. The local stores have started placing Cdn flags indicating that it is a product of Canada. Stopped buying orange juice and started buying apple juice. I found apples from Quebec and fruits from Central and South America. We can do this
You are supposed to be getting 🍊 juice from somewhere besides the US. Wish I could remember when & where. Keep the pressure on. Our restistance and your refusal to buy US products will hopefully right this ship.🙏
Sometimes it takes pain and suffering to weather a debilitating disease, and man do we have a bad outbreak of Nazi going on down here. Bring the pain, Canada.
Thank you! Trump is waging economic warfare so the best thing you can do is take away his ammo. Also it's about time everyone stopped supporting his oligarch buddies and their mega-corps as much as possible
I like that the options provided are "provide an image for us for free" or "we will burn down forests to make a machine steal peoples art so we can have the meme we want, also for free"
I've been doing it since our Iast go round with Trump, found some fantastic Canadian brands and stuck with them, nice to see people taking it seriousIy, but I hope they stick with it, and put those Canadian fIags out earIy this year
100% of the products coming into my house are NOT American. Canada first. Then friendly allies. Or we do without. We’ll reassess once you boot those treasonous douche yachts out.
I, too, am looking for Canadian, or Mexican products. I am also buying LOCAL, small farm produce. I live on a large Indian populated area and ship their markets. Also halal (or kosher) chicken is soo much tastier than Tyson.
Even if we elect some common sense Democrat in 4 years, there’ll still be an election after that and a good portion of our population is stuck on beyond stupid. Everything with America moving forward needs to be on a verify then trust status.
That’s why my household will reassess. Your country needs to get its house in order and the rest of the world needs to protect itself until you do. Good luck and Godspeed in ridding yourself of, well, all of it. We’re all rooting for you.
Yes! We can buy oranges from Mexico and strawberries from Costa Rica this winter. Our big grocery chains are scrambling to stock a LOT fewer U.S. products.
We have shifted as much as we can … much more than $50. It still surprises me that other Canadians are surprised we are doing it. Wake up. Please wake up.
I talked to some coworkers the other day who didn't have a clue what was happening in the United States, claimed they have never voted, and don't watch the news or read newspapers. Had to educate them on the rising dictatorship, proposed ethnic cleaning in Gaza, the threat to Canada’s sovereignty
I am American but am SPECIFICALLY doing my best to buy and support Canada by buying anything I can find that is sold here in the US (but come from there-Canada)-even if it costs me more (tarrifs) like fruit etc. GO CANADA!!
same. I have a list of companies that donated to Trump and/or Project 2025 in my wallet. it's online if you search...I'd attach it, but its a pdf (3 pages!)
I never went to USA specifically to shop as always i thought that was disloyal and a bit naff. Online though.... i will not do so now of course. Saving the bucks.
Interesting how you can boycott US goods and not really be impacted. Canada has free trade agreements with countries that produce fruits and veg, so when Canadian produce isn't available, we still don't need US goods.

Most of us buying most to all Canadian and zero US. Sobeys, Save On, and even Loblaws are promoting Canadian products. I hope this continues. My folks were raised on produce that was grown in Manitoba and Ontario, except for Christmas oranges.
I use this app. There's a host of other apps featuring the same intent.
Buy Canadian. Use this app to tell you where the product come from. Works great. Take a picture of the bar code. Give it about 10 seconds to analyze where the product is made. A setting for French
I love it! I just tried it on a bunch of products I already have at home, and I love that it tells me the origin of the products. I know I cannot only buy Canadian, although I'm trying, but for the rest, I'll buy anything but American. Thanks for sharing.
Can you imagine what you have to do to piss of a country of Canadians? The nicest people ever???? You know what Canada, I agree, its not the American people and we know you can see that. We still love you Canada, do what you gotta.
They even have Quebec belting Oh Canada, and Alberta and Ontario agreeing on (some) things. Every grocery store has people checking labels, even if it isn't all of them, and many intend to do that forever now. All but two people I know have cancelled all of their US travel.
Tariffs are bad for everyone. Bad for America, bad for effected nations like Canada. The disruption/chaos/instability/risks rise as society adjust to effects of these terrible tariffs.
WHY? What is Trump's rationale? It's a power trip for him & a major new source of taxes on the working class!
Based on his continuous 51st state & gov. Trudeau comments, plus other wording he uses, he wants to divide Canada & USA. 1, to isolate USA so they can continue destroying it without outside aid and 2, to get his goonies enraged against us for not bowing to him, so they may eventually march up here.
And now fElon wants to do away with the IRS & charge tariffs for everything. Problem is that prices would triple on everything to make up for income tax.
Even worse for the working class, a tariff tax/national sales tax is the most regressive/unfair tax. The current Income tax is the fairest tax. Again, Trump actions benefit the rich, NOT the working class.
I'm doing my part and then some. Love my fresh veggies and fruit from Mexico and Guatemala. My neighbor gave her Tesla to a thrift store and she bought a new, Cdn made car. Canceled vacations to usa, going to Australia!
Years ago my daughter and I would play "count the Teslas" while driving and it would be common place to see three white ones lined up a stoplight. They were everywhere in my wealthy city, so many we had to stop playing. There are now noticeably fewer driving around. 👍
They definitely have a strategy and want to create chaos and work from that chaos. I don’t think they expected all of this to unite everyone else though. They also have a plan to quit NATO and that seems to work pretty well.
A recession, and probably a depression, is coming for the US. Maybe the world. Many US citizens are blissfully unaware, but it won’t be long before they start slamming wallets shut as unemployment goes up (+200k fired gov workers to date), boycotts hit bottom lines, and general uncertainty sinks in.
Understood. But what is “great again”? The US economy was on steroids during the past 4 years and very few people were worse off as result. But I predict lots will be worse off under this administration’s policies.
And those 200,000 government jobs pales in comparison to the Canadian boycott.
140,000 Americans rely on Canadian tourist $, while 1,900,000 Americans work for companies that export goods to Canada. Even if half of those jobs are lost (1,020,000), the US employment rate jumps 0.7%.

That'll put some pain on those business owners that supported the orange felon
We need to hit Trump any way we can, and with the American resistance, we will bring him down.
"What did you do that for, I was just negotiating."
Many of us have quite strongly taken a $0US path. Inspect food label, verify its not American , if it is, put it back.
Very happy to buy products from other countries, particularly Mexico, who we still have a free trade agreement with.

If each Canadian household shifts just $50 per week from U.S. products to Canadian, $39 billion annually stays in Canada.
By buying 🇨🇦, you are also strengthening the 🇨🇦$, & that in turn makes it cheaper to buy any other imported product!
Leave X, Facebook, Twitch, cancel Netflix, Amazon Prime.
Prioritize small shops over big Corps if you can afford it.
Reduce spending where you can. Let's denied them their money, power addictions.
We are more than them.

May be "made in USA, (deliberately dropped "the" for obvious language barriers) with foreign components, packaged in China".
Once tariffs comes, if they come, the Govt will deffo target red states.
Learn the difference between "Product of Canada" and "Made in Canada" it's not very hard to find most of the same products with a tiny bit of work.
b) not buy the product they’re lying about
"Buy Greenland & Canada"
but also cringe AI art, "Buy Canadian Croducts"
why don't you hire a fuckin Canadian artist huh

No US products.
No US services.
No US travel.
There are very few exceptions, Bluesky app being one of them.
So, more than $50/wk.
140,000 Americans are employed by Canadian tourist $.
1,900,000 Americans produce goods for export to Canada.

Been doing it.
And it’s really not hard to do.
That $50 is the bare minimum that’s achievable!
Or maybe they’re counting on being absorbed into the Russian Economy.

Does anyone know websites that say where a product is from?
To Made in Canada
Please make a guide for Mexico, and one for U.S. Citizens as well (So U.S. Citizens can buy from Canada, or Mexico)
That would help people to completely drop U.S. Products
