Avoiding US goods and services – from tech to whisky to air travel – has forced many to find a new way of living
This week the US imposed 50% tariffs on US$20bn (£15bn) of Canadian goods, and Mark Carney, the country’s prime minister, has vowed to match them “dollar for dollar” after the collapse of trade talks between the two countries last weekend. Donald Trump retaliated on Thursday by ordering the federal government to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America.
Such actions have added fuel to a widespread boycott of US products and services by Canadians that began early last year in response to the president’s trade war and threats to annex his northern neighbour.
More than 3,500 people from across Canada shared with the Guardian via an online callout how they have made changes to their lives in response to the US administration’s political and economic stance. Many expressed deep anger and sadness, but remained resolute that this was now a new way of living.
ok so you said you legitimately didnt know what i meant. i see you played ignorant as a bad faith move to waste my energy in a shitty little flame war. you can go huff farts troll.
Based on your previous reply, I could make some educated guesses at what you were trying to convey, based on context.
I did not know we were in a flame war. Have I attacked you somehow? Or do you always see it as a personal attack when someone has to explain why you’re wrong?
