I wouldn’t be surprised if the boycott is the reason Canada has been steady economically so far.
Ask all the American tourism industry types who whine about the loss of Canadian visitors if anybody’s still doing the boycott. Ask Jack Daniels and Jim Beam if Canadians are still doing the boycott.
Yes. People are still doing the boycott, and in the case of Canada I think we may be watching a cultural shift appear in real time. In 25 years when people think “vacation” in Canada they’ll either think “Canada” or they’ll think literally anywhere else in the world other than the USA.
It is truly fun to behold.
Canadian here: 100%!
I’ve gotten it down to just google products (youtube and android), but will be replacing them as soon as I find the means to do so. Once that’s done, there will be nothing left in my life that’s US, not even entertainment.
This will continue indefinitely, too ♡
Greece here, doing my best! nothing change and nothing will. FUCK USA.
I can write as many as fuck usa I want, cause fuck usa. Kids died, and their complain was their fucking oil!For Life…
Absolutely and it’s going even stronger!
As a Canadian, I watch Guard the Leaf and it strengthens my resolve every day!
Canada here. Still avoiding American produce in the grocery store if possible. I’ve missed citrus fruit, but some Moroccan oranges showed up last week. Mexico is our main supplier these days.
I spend 1-3 minutes to look for the company address. US address? Let’s check the next one. Their fine prints won’t stop me!
canadians are still buying canada
Norway checking in. Doing my best. About to be 100% free from Google. No Amazon… no Microsoft… no Apple… For the most part I buy no American products either. Think everything is going great 🙂👍
No amazon in norway isnt hard tho^^ norwegians should try no coke and tesla.
Sorry not trying to shit on you, just disapointed in many others here, no microsoft google and amazon is a great thing, getting rid of facebook dependency here would also be nice.
boycotting the us became the normal life for me
It’s kind of hard to boycott American goods when you live in the country, but I’m trying my best.
You can at least favor smaller companies instead of the big corpos. By the way, are there small family-owned businesses still surviving?
It depends on the industry. You’ll see some independent bookstores, a few art supply stores, and other niche things that corpos don’t really do well enough to completely obliterate all human passion in the sector. Otherwise? Nah, the only other area where mom-and-pop stores are doing well is restaurants. I had to drive four hours to purchase a lenovo computer from an official retailer (a mom-and-pop joint in the middle of nowhere in Massachusetts), since I refused to use Amazon.
That’s sad, but at least a few sectors persevere. I hope the anti corporate movement gives them a new breath
Me and my very large extended family are 100% committed to the american boycott for the rest of our lives. I have children in my family who have vowed to never travel to or buy from america. They have lost my family for at least the next 3 generations…
I think we’re getting less loud about it as it becomes less of a boycott and more of a way of life. “Canadian first, but anything but American” is kind of the new normal now.
Definitely doing it. Not travelling to the US until he’s dead. Hasn’t been perfect, but most food staples I check labels for USA origin, and pick anything else.
I’m currently looking for a Canadian alternative for good quality playing cards that aren’t cheap plastic souvenir garbage, I want to give some to a relative that loves Bridge. Might post about it soon.
Why start up again after he dies?
This is a serious question.
People keep mistaking Trump as the source of the problem in the USA. He isn’t. He’s the symptom of a deep cultural rot that was decades in the making. If you had your eyes open very widely you could even spot today’s USA in the late '70s. By the '90s even someone with cataracts could have seen what was coming around the bend. (I pledged never to set foot on US soil myself in 1999 after what I saw in Houston.)
Trump’s death will solve nothing; indeed it might make things worse: the Redcaps will have their conveniently dead saint, and smarter people will be where Trump is, using his effigy to effectively manipulate his Redcap following. Picture in your head President J.D. “Peter Thiel’s Puppet” Vance.
I apologize for the nightmares I’ve just induced.
I’m with you. I started boycotting tourism (and shopping) travel to the US when they re-elected Bush.
I drove through the US a few times to save hours of driving when Obama was president, but otherwise I haven’t been south of the border in over 2 decades.
The Republican Apparatus is the problem, and Trump is one of many symptoms. As much as it will be painful in the short term, I have high hopes for the end of American hegemony. It’s been a long time coming.
Absolutely agree with you on the fact that America’s problems don’t start nor end with Trump, and there’s a lot beyond that, that needs to be done for the world to lend its trust back to it. I’ve said my piece on that within this comment.
I’m just being realistic and thinking ahead of time with what can temporarily suspend or fully call off my boycott. There’s a long list of things I need to see before I would even consider incorporating the USA back into my vacation plans. There’s a shorter list keeping me from stepping foot there whatsoever.
Even if absolutely nothing else changes, Seattle will be out in the streets celebrating like crazy. It’s one of the few events I’m willing to break my boycott just for a night to share the joy, before I go back to boycotting again.
ETA: I went to the USA last at the start of 2025 before Trump took office so I could get one last look of a pre-Trump2 baseline… going for a day can give me a another snapshot before things go from bad to worse, if what you’re predicting pans out, or better if Americans manage to clean house with a Reconstruction 2.
I like to drink alcohol and I live in a city that is famous for beer. So I am not feeling any pain in choice of alcohol. If anything the replacement of American beer and Whiskey has made more room for Canadian brands I didn’t know existed.
There is at least one craft microbrewery in almost every medium sized city in Canada, there’s so much to try.
Also I find Canadian rye to be superior to most American rye
I’ve never really found a rye I actively liked. For me it’s best as a mixer at best.
I’m going to miss bourbon.
But I will be missing it. There’s no going back to it ever again. The world is full of good hooch. I’ll make do.
I am doing my best
