The EU never really had much in terms of American products, ie food stuffs. The kind of American products the EU has is primarily internet services where there aren’t always alternatives (or at least ones that are as polished as the big US ones). Then there’s the fact that most people don’t even consider a lot of things as American - WhatsApp isn’t even recognised as owned by Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook/Meta, for example, for many people in spite of it being overwhelmingly the most popular messaging app in many countries.
Pretty much this. When this hole thing started I swore I’d never buy an American product again, but I quickly realized I didn’t buy much of it anyways… The only American food/drink that we have is junk food and soft drinks, i.e. stuff that’s easy to avoid or replace
Yeah im Canadian so we get a lot of their food, I see myself reaching for a snack item or ceral and when I notice it’s American I put it back. After I do I realize I really shouldn’t be eating that crap anyways so it saves me money and keeps me from eating so much junk food
Just about everyone i know is anti American right now, even conservative voters. Of course we have maple MAGA running around , but most people are pissed that Trump is treating Canada like an enemy

Would you say you’re in the minority or is it evident that most Canadians are boycotting?
Do you feel any slow down of the movement?
American produce is literally rotting on the shelves even at steep discount
At my local store US strawberries were on sale for $3 cad per pint and they all went to waste
You said pint, you’re not Canadian.
Source, I am Canadian
I’m in Victoria so British leaks in sometimes
What’s the Canadian unit of measure for strawberries?
Weirdly in Australia strawberries come by the “punnet” which is just the type of container I think.
Most other fruits are sold by the kilo.
