Yes, though I’m happy with our “Buy Canadian” focus, it’s good to remember it’s more like “Avoid Made in USA.” Let’s not forget to support our friends and allies in the rest of the world.
Darn, I’ll just have to *FORCE* myself to buy more EU chocolate and cheese!
Good job Canada! Most of us in the border states are horrified by what's happening, you've always been wonderful neighbors. A family member went on a preplanned trip to Vancouver recently and spent a lot of time letting folks know us average Americans think it's atrocious.
I’m literally looking and gleefully picking up and putting back US Products then I say “f u America’ each time, it feels therapeutic and then i get something from Canada or Mexico or Italy or ANYWHERE else
2nd Order impact on a nation charging a tariff. Trading nations are incentivized to import substitute goods from other nations with no tariffs, all other things being equal. The new US tariff policies were about as well conceived as a 12 year old’s weekend plans.
Good for Canada - but bad for the US. But we wanted this - we needed this because we've been so incredibly wronged by the whole world!
The reality is that Trump can negotiate tough when his trading partners have few options (his hotel projects) but he can't do that with the world which has options
This is a great way to support the Canadian economy and send a clear message to Trump. We now need to quickly strengthen trade ties with reliable and trustworthy countries to permanently immunize ourselves from the US
We were on the bus yesterday (I’m Canadian) and another rider was talking about the nice chair she just bought - made in Denmark. Someone else commented they wanted to take a trip to Greenland.
We have quickly and permanently changed our shopping habits. Buying non-US has surprisingly been very easy to do. We will never forget and never forgive.
I read that Governor Newsom in California is working on trade deals with Many countries including Canada!! Trump is lost. Following his economic plan is like following a drunk driver... He is in way over his skis!

I’d happily buy Canadian over any other country outside EU. I’m certain many others feel the same way.
Canada, home of the sane Northern Americans.

Also, the Canadian roads are far superior to US roads. Our politicians are ripping us off.

FUCK REPUBLICANS!
Only that had to make that reason up by threatening Canada.
