    The Canadian one has really taken off. Its not just on Lemmy. Im seeing more Canadian products on the checkout line than ever before and Ive even started seeing rotting American produce at our local store.

    Everyone I talk to irl is limiting their US product purchases. Canadians are pissed.

      It is really taking hold. Honestly, we are not far from it becoming social stigma to buy American. Showing up with a Starbuck’s cup will get noticed.

      Oh I do believe in this one! My response was rather eurocentric, I realize that now. The Canadians are even more hurt as it stands right now, and their response is incredible.

      Perhaps I’ll see a greater response in my own community when the pointless tariffs also hit EU. Currently people are plenty pissed about US aligning themselves with Russia. It won’t take too much to ignite it further.

      I do hope that I’m proven wrong, and that the boycott US movement is doing better than I thought 🙂
