As a trade deadline with the U.S. hangs over Canada (new window), we have been hearing about Canadians taking the ongoing trade war into their own hands. So we asked you to email ask@cbc.ca (new window) to tell us how and why you have been boycotting U.S. goods and travel. Dozens of you answered the call and told us what you're doing.
Unsurprisingly, most mentioned searching out more Canadian products and adopting an anything but American mentality when Canadian alternatives aren't available. You also told us about skipping out on travel to the U.S. and becoming more mindful about where you are spending your money.
'Rabid label readers' One of the most common things we heard from Canadians is that they have become more vigilant when it comes to reading labels in the grocery store to see where a product has been made.
I'm still checking labels to make sure everything I buy is made in Canada or a trade-friendly country, Rita Bailey told us.
Bailey also said she's willing to take the time to research where a product comes from before buying it.
Shopping this way makes me stop and think, 'Do I really need this?' It has encouraged me to take a step outside the consumer culture, and that is good for my bank account and for my mental/spiritual well-being.
Larry Sharpe told us that he and his wife have been boycotting U.S. goods since the day Donald Trump was sworn into office and that the U.S. president's latest tariff policies have only reinforced his position.
My wife and I are fervent buyers of Canadian products, almost since day one. Sharpe wrote.
We became rabid label readers.

I can’t think of a Canadian product or person I will miss
The % of your own people buying your own products is not the rub pal. It’s the % of the giant populace to your south buying YOUR products that’s going to make or break you.
If Canadians are really that stupid maybe we shouldn’t annex them after all.
We got enough stupid people here already.
Take Alberta and you won’t have to worry about missing our oil.
Oh noes!
The lineups at Blaine etc. to cross and go shop in the USA are as big as every.
Just more BS from Lib-Leaf Canadian “Nationalists”.
Maybe some fresh catch Newfie cod, but that may be an anomaly these days.
It might not be the Canadian people, but the Canadian leadership. Just like Europe, Ireland, and the UK.
Globalist leaders are traitors to their people and are forcing an open-border, Muslim-Woke agenda.
Dozens of people out of a country of 45 million. I am sure there are dozens that actually agree with Trump. I heard a story about a teenager who was sick when he got home from school and his parents took him to a hospital in Ontario. They arrived around 6 pm and didn’t get checked in until 11 pm. There was only one doctor in the hospital for a large municipal area of 3 large cities. The kid died by 6:30 am the next day after never being seen by a physician. Free health care is great if you don’t need it. There are hundreds of thousands of Canadians who are not going to boycott our medical services no matter what happens in a tariff dispute.
What about Stephen Abootman?
The best product I ever saw come out of Canada was SCTV and that’s never happening again. Cut off their supply of smokes and break up the NHL. They’ll be begging to talk in no time.
Is John Candy still alive?
No?
Then they have nothing I will miss either.
Or stop selling what they call Kraft Dinner. They love it.
I hope that includes staying the hell out of Florida.....we got enough northern idiots down here.
Like we’ll notice, eh?
Tom Petty, the late author and performer of I Won’t Back Down was born in Gainesville, Florida.
Hands off the phrase, Canadians.
Literally no one cares what Canada does. Its funny they think anyone does.
Well good for them!!
There is no reason Canada needs to be dependent on the US. There are magnificent natural resources up there (I used to live there)
Time for them to grow up and stand on their own
