Boycott US

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.

The ad campaign had an effect so it's reasonable to pause it for now depending how negotiations go.

Doug Ford and Ontario are not alone. BC and Manitoba's Premiers are publicly supporting this ad campaign. Here's a funny video from Manitoba's Premier Wab Kinew about it:

There is also an upcoming digital ad campaign soon to be launched by BC focused on lumber tariffs:

Time will tell. The ad campaign and Trump's reaction to it may play a role in the start of a shift on Republican unity in the States.

From https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/29/politics/canada-tariffs-senate-vote-trump where some Republican Senators voted with Democrats to end tariffs on Canada:

Sen. Tim Kaine, one of the Democratic co-sponsors of the Canada tariff resolution, said Tuesday that the president’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act was not appropriate. The administration initially argued that fentanyl flowing from Canada into the US was the inciting emergency, and the tariffs were increased last week after the Ontario Premier ran an anti-tariff advertisement invoking quotes from former President Ronald Reagan.

“It is ridiculous to say that fentanyl is an emergency with respect to Canada, and it’s a pretext that’s just used being used to pour more and more tariffs onto Canada,” said Kaine. “And why don’t we pour gasoline on the fire? If they run an ad we don’t like, we’ll increase the tariffs by 10%.”
