Ever since the Fenian Raids Canada has been a key ally with the United Sates and now the US President says we are the problem, insults our Prime Minister (who I don't even support) and accuses us of all sorts of things which are not even true. "Sticks and Stones" but now he has started a trade war which will hurt Canadians and eventually Americans too. If that is the way its to be I, for one will not rail against Trump as a fool without doing what I can to send a message.
1. As of today I will not buy US goods wherever possible.
California wines, bourbon, orange juice gone. I can buy Ontario wines, Canadian whiskey and apple juice, no problem. I am sure there are other things too. I just have to check every purchase. If lots of us do this sort of thing it has to eventually hit home in the US.
2. I will make a point of telling the merchant that I am buying a certain product and deliberately not buying the US product.
3. I will suggest the sales clerk pass the information on up the food chain so that the purchasers in head office will hopefully withhold their orders for US product.
4. I will not travel to the US for any reason, least of all to vacation. Why would any Canadian spend their vacation time in a country where the leader thinks we are either chumps or that we are taking unfair advantage of them? Not to mention our dollar is only worth about 75 cents US.
5. Wouldn't it be great of the LCBO pulled all US wines off the shelves and shipped it all back where it came from? Trump needs to learn Canada, not North Korea or Russia, are his true partners and have been for over 100 years ( the Fenians invaded us, but to Trump that is fake history).
There is no shortage of Canadians who despise, belittle, slander, mock and laugh at the US President. But what do we do about it? Talk is cheap!
Anyone who is not prepared to do something personally, however small, to send a message to Trump, is not entitled to whine or complain about what he is or what he does to us.
Time to act!!!
