Boycott US V2.0

 February 2025

Canada Responds to tRump's Tariffs V1.0

The damage done to goodwill between our two countries will be hard to repair.
When Delusional Donnie has another tantrum in 30 days. We will BE READY !!!! 
What felon47 did was nothing short of a slap in the face. 


He backed off as he (was told) what a disaster a trade war would be. 

Listen to this song by Sean Panting  - Panting Under Pressure: These T-A-R-I-F-F-S are totally absurd.

Regardless of his "30 day delay for implementing tariffs" we are sticking with our plans to stop buying American products and more non-American items.





Canadian national identity is rooted in diversity and a sense of belonging and Trump, ironically, appears to be reinforcing these values by reminding Canadians of what sets them apart from Americans.
We may be considered "polite" but we will not take this sitting down. 




Trump’s tariff threats have also intensified calls for Canada to reduce economic reliance on the U.S. Blayne Haggart from Brock University takes a historical look back at the Third Option — a strategy that was proposed over 50 years ago to expand Canadian trade beyond the American market.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the upcoming Canada-U.S. Economic Summit, bringing together leaders in business, trade, public policy, and organized labour to galvanize investment, grow our economy, and diversify Canada’s export markets. 



Canada is the ninth-largest economy in the world. We have world-class talent, critical minerals, natural resources, a dynamic tech ecosystem, and an ambition to grow. The Canada-U.S. Economic Summit is our ambition in action – the next stride in fully unlocking our economic growth.

The Canadian government, Canadian businesses, Canadian organized labour, Canadian civil society, and tens of millions of Canadians from coast to coast to coast are aligned and united with the same mission – building a stronger Canada, with more jobs, bigger paycheques, and long-term prosperity.

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce, along with other Canadian chambers is renewing its call for premiers to quick dismantle inter-provincial trade barriers -- which they say is effectively a 21 per cent tariff. 





TRAVEL

Some more thoughts since last post:

Canadian cottage owners in US states along the border.
Spring Break and Mardi Gras 
I'll bet that Disney will soon be offering "Canadian dollar at par" tickets to entice visitors.
US travellers to Alaska - we should impose/increase border crossing fee.

JANUARY

We entered the States on January 9 with our non-American car.
We did not eat at any American chain restaurants except for one Cracker Barrel. How I love Cracker Barrel!
We drank one coke and it was Mexican
In Palm Springs we mainly ate Mexican and only in local (not chain) restaurants. We did the same with pizza.
Groceries
Beer MEXICO
Blueberries PERU
Fruits and vegetables MEXICO
Meat from Costco was not as good as at home. The steaks were tough. The chicken thighs were also tough and not well butchered.
Wine California - from now on it will be AUSTRALIA or ONTARIO
I didn't buy these eggs I spotted in PS


We did eat crab legs from CANADA
