Not blocking the border until demands are met (yeah I’m looking at you Ottawa ditchbillies), but simply refusing to cross it.
Instead, I fight back!

In fact, I would rather beg Canda for asylum.
Our elected representatives won't listen to us.
I hope they listen to you.
Get Louder, please

But the comments will warm a Canadian heart 🇨🇦
drop in traffic !!
Money talks with these transactional mumpies …
maybe they’ll get the message.

"They all operate under a corporate umbrella called Restaurant Brands International, which does have a headquarters in Canada — but the man behind the man is a Brazilian investment company called 3G Capital, reports Inc."
Money talks.
When Americans can't afford food or heating the change will begin.
The fact the most noticeable drop was around a long weekend in BC would appear to suggest most of the decrease are those crossing for pleasure.
I.e., they have already paid for flights, AirBnB, tickets to shows or amusement parks.
So they are taking these trips because the money is already spent.
But wait a few more months . . . .
We need the world's help against #FOTUS. Now.
I will go to see them (they did NOT vote for Trump, after all), but there is a no shopping in the US rule.
Food will be purchased from women and minority-owned stores and restaurants.
And we won't be seeing MAGA voters.

But if it stops fascism from oozing over their border, that's something.

That booze was put back onto shelves after the 30 day postponement of the tariffs were announced... and it's not moving much as most Canadians are refusing to buy it.
Although if you can get Penzeys to ship to Canada I’ll happily make an exception for them.
This is a move of self preservation to keep the money within our economy. And if our economy is hit that terribly, we won't have the money for this cross border shopping anyways.
To the Canadians boycotting this, good for standing up to a buly.
You stand up to a bully, they back down.
Canada will aggressively diversify its trading relationships 100%.
Our “friend”’to the South is no longer a reliable trading partner, nor a particularly inviting destination now.
I hope he burns in hell
We need all the inspiration we can find!!
