the tourist industry is probably more hurt than anything else.
And that hurt is juat starting to be felt.
The main part of tourist season is still a few weeks away.
Totally misses the point. I don't think anyone I know started avoiding US products to try and "hurt" the USA, we're not idiots thinking our tiny population is gonna have a huge impact on their economy or anything.
We avoided their products, cause they started making threats / acting hostile towards us, and we'd rather our money go to support either local Canadians, or to support companies from countries that aren't threatening us / acting hostile. We didn't/don't want to be in any way reliant on someone that views us as an enemy, nor do we want to support the fascist crap that's going on down there currently.
Tldr: negligible
Negligible on a national level, but it definitely hurt a lot of businesses in U.S. border towns and tourist areas.
In short, government measures—like removing U.S. wine from store shelves or imposing tariffs—had clear, measurable impacts. The same cannot be said of consumer boycotts. While individual choices may have shifted behaviour at the margins, the data reveal no consistent or large-scale changes in imports outside of tariffed goods.
I was hoping I'd see more elbows up consumer-wise. I know there has been less travel in general.
Still some US businesses lost out on $3.8 Billion.
Even though that is small in the entire US economy, I'd hate to be the company that lost the sales.
All the graphs show downward drop, and the article says some may come back up to normal fluctuations, but the other chance is it may not. Will be interesting to see if Canadians stick to the home made items, and the increasing effect that may have in the USA.
Like not buying US wine, affects the winery stock, but eventually production, and later their bottle supplier or label printer,, then the bottle supplier lays of staff, and so on
