Are there any official numbers out yet about how well these protests are going? It’s easy to feel like change is happening when you are surrounded by like-minded people. As a USian I have been absolutely shocked by how much apathy and inaction I am surrounded by because “it doesn’t affect me personally”.

Apathy is a defining characteristic of an American. I can assure you that the overwhelming majority of people where I live absolutely will not purchase a single American good. All the grocery stores are pulling American food off the shelves. The ones that stay on have warning labels near them that they come from the US.

The Canadian products are very well labelled. They’ve changed how they stock items to hide the American goods (if there are any left).

Even our own local grocery store Facebook pages have to disable comments because of the anger they get for the few remaining American products on the shelves (now majorly discounted since they’re nearing their expiry dates).

I haven’t seen this much change since COVID but even our lunatics are against America (save for our very special 15% or so of the population who aren’t fully conscious).

You will be made to feel pain and it won’t stop after any tariffs are lifted (if they ever get lifted). America and American is a dirty word now even to apolitical everyday Canadians. Y’all have permanently lost an ally/acquaintance.

You’ve got no cards here, America. Now say thank you and sorry.

Friends who work in retail are constantly getting asked the origin of products now, seems like it's actually wide spread

I'm certain of one thing, American media is going to downplay and try to hide as much of this as they can from the citizens to pretend everything is perfectly fine, they aren't going to publish any stats on this or else face the wrath of the Fourth Reich. The average American doesn't pay attention to what's going on in the world or politics or anything like that, so this is going to hit like a tidal wave. I'm sadly seeing the same as you, but it hasn't surprised me, ever since 2016 I've come to know that humans have no maximum capacity for ignorance, greed, or hatred.
