>Meanwhile, as Trump ramps up the rhetoric about taking over Greenland, Pierre Kiel, a German-Danish student, told CTV News that the Germans and Danes have Canada’s back.

>“We kind of feel like the Canadians and the Danes and also the Germans kind of have the same lingering sentiment against Trump, because he’s quite aggressive in terms of his tariffs and all of that,” Kiel said. “So internationally speaking, we all see how Canada gets impacted, but also our economy, and therefore we choose to ignore the American products, and thereby, yeah, underfunding them.”
I’m a year deep into buying Canadian or other imports and everything is going great. As they’ve said, I don’t need anything from America

I miss my Bulleit whiskey but I love my country and community more
As a consumer and businessman, I am proud of my country
Canada is showing the way……
Spent 5 months of the last 12 in BC – won’t be heading down to visit your insane neighbour any time soon. Not buying any US products either if I can avoid them.
Heading back home to Scotland as I type – and over Greenland right now (irony not lost). I suspect my fellow Europeans will continue to treat the US with the contempt it now deserves.
Once I found Canadian substitute for things, why would I change back to US? The only stuff I still get from US is produce I can’t find from anywhere else
Here is a presidential term [clock](https://presidentialtermclock.com/) which acts like a countdown for the current administration. We’re about 25% of the way through this one. Which is both disappointing, and encouraging.
It’s always good to support your own country
And with the latest nonsense being seen hopefully more people will join the movement
Since Trump, I’ve started buying Veritas tools from Lee Valley when possible. Made in Ottawa.
Regret the fact that I didn’t start sooner. If the Canadian is not available, I’ll get the European or Asian equivalent.
Sometimes there’s that ONE thing that I can only realistically get from the US (like Titebond) I can only get from the US, but I’ve tried finding alternatives for all my tools.
We need a worldwide, “Stand-up Like a Canadian”, movement.
The positive side of this movement is I’ve discovered so many fantastic made in Canada products, big and small producers and I’m now a repeat customer to many small businesses. There’s just so much talent in Canada.
Got Canadian whiskey, Canadian produce, Canadian snacks, Canadian beverages
Made in Canada stuff is worth the price IMO
When the Europeans really start doing it, the Americans will really feel the pain. It’s only nowthat the Europeans are taking it seriously.
Whenever I go the supermarket, I find that other shoppers just don’t seem to give a shit. I do, for the record, and will often go entirely without rather than buy American.
