U.S. companies say Canadian retailers are turning away products - National | Globalnews.ca

I wonder if it’s dawning on any Trumpers here in America that they’ve made a profoundly bad call.
Well...Rand Paul led the Senate in voting to stop the Tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Dunno if the House will follow or not but some of them are starting to clue in.

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.

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.

They don't really have the brain cells to self reflect. It's like asking a vampire to look in the mirror.

Probably not going to happen in the house. The 4 Senate Republicans that voted that way are known breakaways/Trump haters:
Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Mitch McConnell (Ky.) Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Rand Paul (Ky.) joined Democrats in voting for the measure, which passed 51-48.

I got a survey from Google Opinion Rewards today asking if I was participating in the Buy Canadian movement. When I said yes, the next question was how much of a price increase would I accept in order to keep my convictions. I said 50%, but I really should have said higher.
I earned $0.16 for my answer and now I feel dirty.

Kraft is doing the same here in Canada. Just means its working. Theyre worried about losing their market.
I dont care what happens now. I will never buy American again unless I have no choice and cant do without.

Mitch McConnel was fellating Trump up until like a month ago.

I've seen some waking up but not most.

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.

Win win situation is if the west coast breaks off from the rest of the US. We'd finally be free from idiocracy. The red side of the US didn't want us anyways

Because he's a polio survivor, and Trump's cabinet is fucking around with vaccines.
Also because he's retiring, not seeking reelection in 2026.

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.
