As ‘Buy Canadian’ grows, more US companies say retailers turning away their products
(www.reuters.com)
I'm hoping with enough pain, there will be meaningful change.
Americans are stupid and proudly ignorant. I say this as an American who wishes it would change.
More bigger tariffs! That will solve the problem
One BILLION percent!
Dr Evil laugh
Keep up the good work. Every dollar sent here is a dollar that will work against you.
and hopefully florida will stop recieving canadian tourists too.
Buy Canadian is best, but anything will do if it isn't American.
My order of operations is Canadian -> European -> Anywhere else on the planet -> Decide if I actually need the thing or not -> Chinese -> American.
As an American mine is Europe/Canada > the rest of the developed world OR blue states > Mexico > other countries > red states. It's surprisingly easy to avoid food from red states. For tech/online services I prefer European over everywhere else.

🙂 keep up the good work. As an American, I’m boycotting what I can but most our shit is just made in China anyway
In other news: Boo Hoo.
Fuck America under the current government. It’ll take decades to repair the damage the autistic Nazi and his cuck orange granddaddy have done not only to Canada but the world.
It'll take far longer to repair the damage they're doing to America. I'm not even sure most of it can be repaired.
Honestly, boycott us. Our capitalist classes need to be taken down a peg.
Yeah, I never thought I'd say it, but I hope the entire world shuns America and fucks us over.
I doubt even that will fix us, though. We are past some kind of disinformation event horizon, where most of us will never see much reality outside their local life, including leaders who are drinking the kool-aid. Even Idiocracy is kinda idyllic because at least Kamancho was relatively open minded.

You don't need to politicise disabilities.
Wonderful news. Keep it up even when tariffs are removed. We MUST grow Canadian made for Canadians to purchase.
See, that’s the thing that gets me. Our countries have had a great trade relationship for a long while now and some giant Cheeto needs to go and piss on everyone’s shoes.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, produce Canadian items so the American market suffers. Make the people who voted for this situation realize what they’ve done to themselves.
Uh yeah. That's the whole point!
Maybe think before you vote next time or actually vote!
Elbows up Canada! 🦫
Meanwhile: Canadian manufactutors pulling their hair out while reviewing their books "what are we going to do with all these profits?"
Same thing happening with local soda and fast food joints in Denmark. Love to see it!
Everybody here in the US keeps telling me that I'm wrong when I say this stuff will destroy our economy.
I sincerely hope the rest of the world proves them wrong.
I mean look at the stock market, customer sentiment, etc. Everything is pointing down and we haven't started to see the unemployment that's going to be brought on from all the government layoffs and attempts to rescind grants/contracts.
I think the next jobs report is going to be painful and we won't see anything positive economically for a while after that.
I expect the Trump government will prioritize cuts that make it difficult to get accurate data about the effects of the cuts.

Starve the greedy parasites, all of them.
As an American: good. No one here wanted this nonsense. Not even magas.

"Due to large drops in revenue we're forced to layoff workers." Laid off MAGA voters, "But that wasn't what was supposed to happen!"
"Why would Joe Biden do this?"
Nah, they are saying short term pain for long term gain. What exactly they are going to gain? Who the hell knows
It’s a brilliant piece of stupid propaganda. If the next democratic president tries to bring the country out of depression by undoing these dumb policies, the MAGA folks will claim that they nearly had solved the problem but that the awful democrats stopped it at the last minute before the prosperity would kick in.

As an American, I hope the pain that these companies experience translates to strong and direct pressure on our politicians to grow a fucking spine against the dictator.
The response, so far, seems to be licking boots, unfortunately.
Yup, been avoiding american products as much as I can at the grocery store. Fruits and veggies that can't be grown in Canada I will get from Mexico or anywhere else in the world except the US.
And not just about the attacks and threats. With the current US administration gutting regulations, there will be more risks of getting sick from eating contaminated food products.
I don't live too far from the Canadian border. I'm sensing an opportunity to make bank on black market tools and office supplies.
I smuggled 4 import vehicles in my butt when I crossed the Mexican border yesterday. They’ll never take me alive.
It's going to be great once every American is jobless and has all the free time to pursue hobbies involving CEOs, and the orange and rodent cancers in the Federal government. Think of all the possibilities!
