Oh no! Guess we'll just stop buying Canadian products.

As an American, I've stopped buying American products. Don't tell me what to buy. I'll buy the best product, thank you very much.

I have STOPPED buying American. No more.

This is not my Government I didn't vote for this but i am will fight against them and bring this nation back to a livable land once again. I'm willing to do what it takes to stop this dictatorship We must all stand together and not buy anything from these billionaire companies. So lets stand together and show them we are not the country to stand for this type of governing

I know it is a novel idea, but hear me out. What if US citizens stopped buying and importing fenthanyl? Would that not solve the problem at the border?

If Elon was not using & buying fental & americans stopped buying it problem solved

A decade under a extreme left wing regime will tank the prosperity out of a country. Heck they even decided to stop our oil and most profitable resource and buy from middle east instead.

I don’t understand how having a house be 10 times as valuable suddenly makes you rich if you sell that house you have to buy another one to live in it. You always need to live somewhere. It’s just make-believe money that stops new players from getting into the market.

Canada needs to stop living beyond its means. Get rid of un-necessary ministries, involvements in private sector that isn't mandated. A Canadian DOGE would be good too, to look line by line to get rid of waste, abuse, corruption. Stop electing the Liberals which like the US Democrats just spend the public money to buy votes like a drunken sailor.

Canadians spontaneously stopped buying made in USA when the heard 51st state because they don't want to lose*\n*universal health care\n*low crime rate\n*gun control\n*unchallenged lgbtq rights\n*unchallenged woman's right to choose\n*peace, order, good government orientation

Enough is enough! Increase their tariff! They ain’t do a crap! Stop buying their scam oil

They think they can sneak in going to a illegal immigrant shelter?? NOT ANYMORE ALL FUNDING HAS STOPPED FINALLY ,THIS PRESIDRNT ISNT TRYING TO BUY FUTURE VOTES

I very much appreciate your reporting of the seeming cognitive dissonance of the pro immigration stance of activists which is the general narrative nationally, in mainstream media, and even the Trump Administration BUT the elixir to break the spell of the cognitive dissonance is to call this whole situation EXACTLY what it is: the anti-Constitutional Republic of America / pro-socialist march towards communism. People in this country need to wake the hell up and understand what is at stake here and stop buying into a deliberately distracting narrative that masks the relentless efforts to destroy our Constitutional rights and way of life!!!

I will stop buying any US made products. US imports 60 % of oil and rear minerals. Stop the Anerican imperialism.

YOU GUYS LET NAZIS GET THE POWER IN USA. Y'ALL KNOW WHAT YOU DID? \n \nThe USA external, environment and climate policy will destroy our planet, we need to stop Trump right now ! \n \nResistance to the nazis! Marvel reported this moment in Captain America 2. \n \nThe only way to save America from the nazi-fascist regime is all people over the world stop buying products and services made in USA. \nIt is a drastic measure but it will put the regime down, when your measures reach most richests pockets out causing them finantial damages, \nthey will put the congressmen to do the impeachment. American people will suffer in a first moment but will cure the disease.

We Europeans do not need the USA, in fact without the USA we Europeans are better off. Europeans, stop buying from the USA, stop importing US products, Europe needs China and not the USA, stop giving money to NATO, let's start dismantling the US bases in Europe that are useless and only cause environmental disaster and cancer deaths. No more oil from the USA, does Europe need oil? The answer is Saudi Arabia even if it would be better to eliminate oil for hydrogen. The highest concentration of hydrogen in the subsoil is in Europe. European technology is unmatched, which is why NASA is asking Europe for help in designing, most doctors and researchers in the USA are European. So Trump is the usual clown, if Europe were to close contacts with the USA in favor of Eastern Europe, like China and Russia for gas, the USA alone would be finished, an economic crisis that would destroy the USA. Europeans, stop buying from the USA, let's leave them alone, let's buy from China

Canadians need to stop vacationing in USA and stop buying Teslas

Stop buying fentanyl and its precursor. Simple as that. Look at the streets of vancouver chinatown.

People should stop buying American iFruit Phones

We as Americans can make the drug war go away. Just stop buying fentanyl and other poisonous substances. It’s supply and demand; if there is money to be made by fulfilling a demand, someone will provide. Don’t blame Canada or Mexico or China for our fentanyl crisis. We must support our citizens with the needed assistance to overcome addiction and offer assistance to prevent those not yet involved with fentanyl.

The US imports more than it exports so even if other countries put the same tariff % the US would still make money no? ?\nPeople saying 'we will stop buying US products' my question is what US products were you buying anyway? ?

Trump disrespects Canada ? by imposing these tariffs. Canadians need to stop buying American products.

Theodore Roosevelt. President Theodore Roosevelt believed that America's economic growth was due to the protective tariffs, which helped her industrialize. He acknowledged this in his State of the Union address from 1902: The country has acquiesced in the wisdom of the protective-tariff principle. 13 colony's ,lol tariffs from 1786 to 1909 built the usa . usa got worst when we stop tariffs in 1913 then went to a income tax's \nhow think we buy Alaska from the Russia , French... buy Alaska and The Louisiana Purchase was the 1803 acquisition of the Louisiana Territory from France by the United States with the income from tariff's. president Lincoln During the war, Lincoln implemented a 44% tariff to help pay for the war effort and to subsidize railroads. \nThe tariff remained at this level after the war.

Not just Canadians and Mexicans, but people from all over the world should stop buying American made products. Let's all help Make America Great Again!!!

Already stopped buying US products,

Stop buying US--products

I say stop buying all mexican and canadian made things

Canada should free trade with China, Europe and Mexico and stop buying Tesla.

Should Stop Buying Tesla

It's not just all the parties supporting Canada's counter tariffs. The Canadian people are in support, across political, cultural, economic and geographical lines. Canada has not been as unified about anything that I can remember (and I'm old). Plus, Canadians are a stubborn people with a more community oriented attitude than the USA and we don't like bullies. If we have to change brands of food, stop drinking bourbon and American beer, pay a bit more, even pay more taxes to cover the costs for people affected... so be it. BUT... when the tariff's are lifted, don't be so sure we'll just start buying American again. Stubborn also means we don't let things go easily.

Canadians just need to stop buying American products and trade with Europe

I will stop buying American goods, including the Bourbon I always used to buy, until Trump (and those who voted for him) comes to his senses.

Boycott to Tesla, stop buying Tesla

So let me get this straight. Trudeau is imposing tariffs on the U.S. to make everything Canadians import from the U.S. that they need more expensive to Canadians and Trump is doing the same thing for everything from Canada though we need none of it and therefore will stop buying any of it. This will not go well for Canada. Ouch!!!

Yeap I buy absolutely nothing from Canada I can’t get from somewhere else. It’s about time we stop adhering to unbalanced trade agreements with our so called friends and if they rather take advantage of us rather than make a more fair deal then let’s do it. Let’s see if we really need Canadian goods to survive so bad we need to trade and a deficit. But no being mad if we find out we don’t need you at all.

Trump has to stop his own people from buying those drugs. Stop blaming the Mexicans. The liquor is in the stores, I don't buy any, it's not the drug it's the people mentality.

Just think of all the economic interconnections that are at risk of being broken. Years of supply chain organization and logistics in jeopardy. The federal leadership is getting increasingly erratic. The automotive industry alone is so integrated. Biden and Trump have both been awful. What is the endgame? Recession. Buy sovereign bonds. Stop buying stuff.

If countries stop buying military equipment from the US that would be alot more retaliatory than tariffs.

Canadians will stop buying from ketchup to Teslas. Canada strong and free!

Tarriffs are irrelevant if other countries and individuals simply stop buying from or trading to the US. I can't buy US products now for ethical reasons. Trump being oblivious to his fan boy's ?? .

Good for President Trump. If Mexico has refused his own people & raises prices on Colombian coffee, I’ll buy another brand. Take responsibility for YOUR citizen’s & take Your Criminals back. The inflation in America is here bc of Biden & I will simply wait for prices after drilling to bring prices down. Trump can only be a good leader if he says something & follows thru. Stop complaining CNN & trying to create fear. The rhetoric doesn’t work any more. I can’t wait for CNN to fold

He is pissing off the world one country at a time and people are going to stop travelling to the US and buying goods made in the US.\n No one likes a bully and he is managing to do more damage to the US and their reputation. Americans will be treated like crap in Europe, Canada, Greenland and Panama and the list continues to grow. The world population is going to stand together against this mentally ill wanna be dictator. People are not going to put up with his crap.

And Colombia is hitting back. Remember Trump started a world trade war during his first term -- and the US got its butt kicked royally. South America stopped buying American produce and started buying from China. The EU stopped buying American steel and started buying from China. (US Steel ended up closing two American based plants as a result.) I see the same outcome during his second term.

Canadian must stop buying USA product - All canadian must think everytime they want to buy anything- Wake up people check the label before buying and buy things that do not comes from US.

Oh yay! I had already stopped buying eggs. Now I get to pay more for coffee too. FDT.

Tariffs try to stop us from buying their goods.... EVERYONE suffers

A lot of flowers come from Colombia. What will happen is that the US companies will stop buying them from Colombia and buy them somewhere else.

I’m gonna stop buying anything from that drug lord state. Columbia. Banned. I can go without a lot of stuff. Not worried.

They would lose LOTS of business as US buys a ton but we also produces it’s our own. Why they already backed down in under 1 hour. \n\nTariffs are used as a weapon, not a tax, because people will stop buying and buy elsewhere. Ultimately it becomes cheaper or the same to buy US made items meaning more U.S. workers.

Threaten for CIA to stop buying the cocaine then they get their act together
