Amid the "Buy Canadian" movement, some U.S. companies say retailers in Canada have been turning away their products or halting planned deals.

“That’s the kind of disruption we would never expect,” said Hung. “I never heard of this happening until now. It’s definitely quite a bit of headwinds."
This is exactly the reason we have to affect blue states like CA/WA/NY/MA just like red states with our dollar. So many people and companies still have their head in the sand and don't realize the Trump rhetoric is a real threat to Canada and more than just trolling. They don't really become aware of it until it actually affects them and that's not limited to Republicans.
The people in the blue states are afraid for their lives.
This isn't a situation where the people in the blue states need to be aware of the danger Trump poses to Canadians and the problems he poses for Canada and need to be made aware of it.
The people in the blue states are unable to afford much of anything now, not food, not healthcare, not housing, not transportation, nothing. And on top of that, they're afraid of being disappeared because the Trump regime is disappearing people for no cause, because of things like having an autism awareness tattoo or like publishing a letter.
It's not to say that what Canada is facing from Trump isn't bad, but no, people in the blue states are MORE aware of the dangers of Trump than you are. Canadians are justified in reacting, absolutely, but people in the U.S. in blue states are not unaware of what's going on, and don't need Canadians to make them aware of these things.
Yes, but we have to move past the "it can't be that bad for my business" and the "don't blame me, I didn't vote for Trump" excuses. Blue state residents have to actually stand up for their state and fellow residents against this administration. I've been impressed by some of the protests in LA in support of Mexico, but Sacramento, Olympia, Albany, Salem have a lot of legwork to do to protect itself from the Trump admin. Canadian actions are meant to spur individual Americans to action as well.
You can still buy Tabasco if you want. Louisiana is a red state but one of the McIlhenny heirs was a good dude. The peppers are grown in South and Central America and Avery Island (where the sauce is made) is mostly a wildlife refuge now. He only introduced one invasive species, which is pretty good for a rich guy in the 1800’s.
I get that there are many Americans and American companies that do great things. Hell, I still have a Costco membership because they treat their workers and customers really well for a large chain, and have demonstrably rejected the "anti-woke" movement.
But understand that if this keeps going on I'm not renewing it this year. This is because every dollar that goes to Washington DC through US federal taxes is metaphorical ammunition for Trump, to illegally threaten to withhold funding for refusing to go along with his demands.
Canadian Tire can probably take care of most of your CostCo needs. I don’t know if they sell hot dogs for CAD $1.50 but one assumes hot dogs aren’t all that important in the context of global trade.
Canadian Tire doesn't sell groceries in bulk.
The only competition to Costco would be Real Canadian Superstore, but it's a Loblaw company and they shrinkflated everything and have a meaningless membership program, and Walmart, which never really cared about going for the same margins.
It’s hard to replace CostCo in full but at least the founder threatened to murder the CEO if he ever raised the price on hot dogs. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/costco-founder-kill-hotdogs/
Tabasco's owners have been supporting the Russia in its war of genocide.
A company doing that is no way "good dudes".
Ok, fine. I went to high school with one of the heirs and he was a dipshit. He sold the worst weed imaginable but in bulk. You got a lot of awful weed.
Sorry, I’ve moved on… 🇨🇦
I appreciate you proving you’re Canadian by starting with “sorry.” My apologies for my country being full of asshats.
