@cbcnews Your headline: “Should Canada turn the other cheek?” is so offensive that words fail me. We are not ever contemplating “turning the other cheek”. We are promoting #BuyCanadian, we are building new trade agreements, we are loudly proclaiming our Canadian pride and posting #ElbowsUp. You should be reinforcing this rather than trying to play devil’s advocate. There is no negotiating with evil, no pacifying a bully. #ShameOnYou. #FourthEstateFilth https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tariffs-retaliatory-1.7482385
It was not in my bingo cards for Buy Local to become a trend due to the sudden increase in unreliability of the US in trade et al.
But the climate and your local industry thank you.
There are #buyEuropean #buyCanadian and #buyMexican initiatives that I know of.
For Europe:

But please avoid buying even more Unilever or Nestlé stuff.
And remember that small indy sellers of artwork, music, games, etc are not the same as the american oligarchy.
HBC was started in 1670. Its downfall was accelerated after it was bought out by an American businessman and then an American equity company.
Another Canadian business was ruined by Americans. Why do we let this happen over and over?
As we push for #BuyCanadian, we must show disagreement for our most successful businesses getting acquired by capitalists from foreign countries.

A #TradeWar with your former best partner is nerve racking to say the least.
Threats of #Annexation from a neighbouring superpower is outright terrifying.
But if you want to know what's keeping me up nights...
Whiskey, anyone?

Grocery stores accused of mislabeled and misleading signage signifying how much is made in Canada.
Tips: label saying Made in Canada is 51% or more Manufactured in Canada.
Label says Product of Canada 98% or more is Manufactured in Canada
Anything else labeled with a maple leaf should state what portion is from Canada.
There is an app they recommend called Scanuck.

If a fundraiser is headlined by a little punk that thinks not only should America take Canada by force but we don't even deserve statehood, its reasonable to say it provides aid & comfort to Canada's enemies & that Smith is perpetrating straight up treason.

Even my freaking conservative father is unprompted, avoiding buying American.
Canada is furious. As we should be.

The image contains a social media post by a user named "kare_audr" with a Canadian flag emoji. The post reads: "Quite aside from the damage to goodwill, which is already incalculable, the US is no longer a safe supplier of unprocessed food, because it's no longer tracking outbreaks of infections. No sane purchaser will buy produce that might contain E. coli, dairy that might contain listeria, meat that might contain salmonella, and the US is keeping it secret. Boycotting American produce, meat and dairy isn't just a matter of Canadian patriotism, it's also a matter of public health."
How about it, fellow Albertans? How many of you knew you were empowering a full-fledged traitor when you voted for #DanielleSmith? If you have regrets NOW's the time to express them LOUD & CLEAR. Fix your mess #abpoli #ElbowsUp #TradeWar #abpoli #cdnpoli #BuyCanadian #Tariffs #BenShapiro #Annexation
Despicable is the word for it. This is OUR taxpayer dollars getting SPENT IN AMERICA during a #TradeWar where #DanielleSmith will AGAIN meet with #ProAnnexation creatures & AGAIN openly betray our country. #ElbowsUp #TradeWar #abpoli #cdnpoli #BuyCanadian #Traiffs #BenShapiro #Annexation
#Trump writes [on Canadian tariffs on electricity] “Can you imagine Canada stooping so low as to use ELECTRICITY, that so affects the life of innocent people, as a bargaining chip and threat?”
