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.
