    It’s time to boycott American goods. I’m considering Canadian and European companies for goods and services instead of American.

    Last time I traveled to the US was just before Trump’s last inauguration. Meanwhile I’ve done lots of online shopping in the US and a lot of my groceries are from the US.

    Aren’t the tariffs going to result in me shopping less online, buying fewer US exports, and having to physically cross the border to buy stuff not available for reasonable prices anymore in Canada?

    I’d love to visit Yellowstone, or do some hiking of Mt Saint Hellens with my kid… Not happening for a while.

    On the flip side, could we as a country or province agree to only accept USD at par? I doubt it would actually benefit us a significant amount, but personally I just hated being in a cashier position and needing to do extra work just for the entitlement of the American tourists to pay in “dollars”.
