An interesting barometer of the tensions, is by looking at Canadian grocers website. All that I have seen, have "buy Canadian" and "produced in Canada" plastered onto most products. Even Walmart has a "made in Canada" tab.

I wouldn't read too much into this. I wouldn't read too much into this. A few years ago it was "black businesses", but I doubt anyone was actually basing their purchasing decisions on it. It's just businesses trying to ride the current thing.

I didn't at the time but now with the naked racism of the current administration I've been going back to these kinds of lists.

I live 20 minutes from the Canadian border. We get the best reception from Vancouver radio stations, so we listen to lots of Canadian radio.

It's not just businesses. Literally half their radio content is about buy Canada, avoid the US, Trump is bad for Canada, etc. This content is produced by every group: political ads, government PSAs, advertisements, the talkshow hosts, people calling in...

My county is very dependent on Canadians driving down to buy American goods and we are getting hit hard. I'm not excited for the local economic effects of this trade war (or anything else about it).

Huh?

You seem to be talking about a USA social phenomenon that happened in USA?

You are gravely misunderstanding what is currently happening. Now that the depths of American treachery and bloodthirst have been laid bare, the mood in Canada is similar to January 2022 Ukraine.

Interesting this is happening in Canada.

I live in America and I have not seen too many Made In America stuff recently. Maybe that will change though

[nitwit005]

Because the Canadians are angry at America, but the reverse is not true.

Most of your produce and groceries are made in America. It just isn’t worth it to ship broccoli from China. In Canada, it’s mostly foodstuff and soft goods also that is being discriminated against for being American, farmers, distillers, food processors, etc… are going to be the most effected.

Probably wouldn't happen in retail - the price differences are stark.

Most of the made in USA stuff I have seen is mid to higher end.
