Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

This article is obtuse and infuriating to read. Glossing over so many disgusting developments from garbage Trump and his maga goons. Of course CTV refuses to properly cover this whole situation while sourcing quotes from CNN...

Here are the worst parts:

Many Canadians have boycotted taking U.S. trips and buying American products since the spring. That’s when President Trump made false claims and belittling comments about Canada in the midst of a tariff war.

“It’s hard to be angry, because it’s not just me,” he said. “For all the promises of a good economy — and maybe people were thinking, ‘we’ll sacrifice some culture war things for this good economy that’s going to come from this administration.’ It doesn’t seem like that’s happening.”

Canadians turning away from the U.S. is particularly worrisome.

No it's the people of colour people being detained by ICE without due process and sent to god know's where. What an absolute moronic statement.

Without a doubt, he said the “softening” of business at his downtown store has been disappointing. But Mondello said “time heals all.”

Woody believes there is an opportunity with the FIFA World Cup in 2026, when his marketing team in Seattle will be collaborating with Destination Vancouver. Seattle and Vancouver are the second-closest geographical grouping of any of the FIFA host cities, and match schedules have been aligned so that spectators can easily travel to see games on both sides of the border.

Hill said other international tourists have still come in relatively stable numbers. He also believes there will be more Canadians returning in the fall and winter when they tend to escape the cold and enjoy hockey season in Las Vegas.

“Trying to get them to overcome that too significantly, I don’t think works very well,” Hill said. “What we told them is, you know, we’re here when you’re ready. We hope you’re ready soon.”

“I look at the hard-working Americans just as I do local business owners here in the U.K.,” Hawkins wrote to CNN, adding that he would “hate to see them suffer” because of government decisions.

Support and do nothing about fascists you absolutely deserve to suffer. Crummy americans enabling war crimnals, ableists, transphobes, racists and misogynists. You get what you deserve.

“I wouldn’t care what political affiliation the owners would have, as I find if you take politics out of any conversation (which I do often), you are pretty much going to have good stuff in common with people.”

Tell me you're a privileged cis-het white man without saying it.

CTV is total dogshit. Has been forever, but you've called this one right.

CTV belongs to Bell which belongs to billionaires. Despite what the corporate owned news media might imply, there is only one minority group that is actually legitimately out to get us: The rich
