I have some bad news for you, majority of our things are made in China
Be that as it may, I’ve been looking at labels a lot more closely in the last number of years. Country of origin is often a factor not only in the product but also the store for me. Already, sometimes I will gladly pay 25% more for local (e.g. strawberries) and will bypass whenever possible stuff from countries that piss me off. Voting with your wallet really doesn’t cost much (and the difference will be less when the Canadian tariffs go into effect). And it gives you an empowering sense of doing something no matter how insignificant it may be (just like voting). As an individual, it means nothing,, but if 1/3 of the people felt as I did (I know, wishful thinking) it could make a real difference.

That's the point...if you and me avoid american products than big deal...if the US loses 39 million people as tourists and consumers it won't help them...the idea is to buy and support and strengthen Canadian companies.

I think your hostility is a little misplaced it's not the average American we should be angry at its the brainless orange idiot in the whitehouse. The average working person in the US is about to suffer a great deal because of trump

Do your part...support Canadian business, the time is now.

I did a search in the above “Made in CA” and didn’t find the company, maybe I missed it along the way. If anyone here likes cookies like I like cookies, here are my favorite…

Yes maybe so but I don’t think the average Canadian is being targeted…this is part of Trump’s revenge tour, he doesn’t like Justin and doesn’t have a good relationship with C Freeland, this is how he gets back at them.

But I agree with sending tariffs back, piss off American consumers and they may turn there anger to Potato Head.

I think I’m sliding towards the Fuck Trump camp! The tariffs have become reality. Trump has crossed the line. Where did “United We Stand” go?
This guy might be a certified lunatic!

I’m walking towards the shredder with my Go Trump membership card!

I agree the average dumb yank doesn't even know where Canada is but the problem isn't him it's trump who lied and conned his way up and now because of the ignorance in the US they will suffer even the vast majority of popular voters who didn't vote for him.

Both Justin and Freeland are out. I disagree with you on this point. He would have done this regardless of who is in power.

Aside from not having a functioning parliament while our PM is severely hung over after partying in Europe for the past few weeks, you would think that despite having ample warning, they would be able to retaliate immediately with tariffs...but instead they are going to wait 3 weeks????

Seems like the only smart Canadian was Mark Carney moving his company to the US while convincing Canadians he has their best interests at heart.
