According to a new study by the Angus Reid Institute, 76% of Canadians say they’re boycotting American products.

61% of Canadians also say they’re cancelling or delaying trips to the U.S., while 86% say they’re buying more Canadian products.

“The cross-border data already proves it: Canadians are cutting back their travel to the U.S. to levels last seen during COVID-19. These numbers may drop further, considering that 3 in 5 Canadians say they’re cancelling or delaying plans to travel across the border. In addition to this, the proportion of Canadians saying they’re boycotting American products or buying more Canadian products is already high and appears to be growing.”

    Well my bar is anyone making a legitimate effort at keeping their dollars in Canada counts. Reading the labels, looking for alternatives, reviewing subscriptions and travel plans etc. is all good effort that makes a material difference, even if there’s often no ideal option or good alternative to a crucial product.

    The Trump people in my family seem to be in a wait-and-see type of mood with respect to current events. Probably best for their sanity to stay ignorant than face the cognitive dissonance, though I will occasionally poke fun (with remarks like “Trump is lowering tax bills of ordinary Americans, since their incomes are going down!”).
