Now that the dust has settled on the Canada US trade breakdown, it turns to us, Canadians everywhere, to take the next steps. If Prime Minister Carney characterizes this as a war, then we become the soldiers. Our weapons are not rifles and drones but wallets and credit cards. Our strategic objective: as complete a boycott of US products and services as possible.
Fortunately, we’ve been in training now for months. And we’re getting damn good at this. We know the drill. We’ve been meticulously choosing Canadian-made products at our local stores. We pester their owners to provide ever more Canadian choices and clearer labelling. We’ve avoided travel south of the border. We’re finding alternatives for online services. So our tactical objective is to continue on, to double down, to strengthen the resolve.
To arms! To elbows!

I hope all the world will join you - I've always thought boycotting US big business is a powerful response to Trump's dangerous silliness - whether we're in Canada, the US, or anywhere else..

You’re definitely right. I think it has made a huge impact so far, for example gaining the attention of the governors of several US states whose economies have been affected. And they in turn are putting pressure on the administration there.
