@JoelsLeafs@CTVNews You think we're going to make up 75% of our traded goods in a matter of months? And that it's not going to cost us more by sending it across the ocean?
@DECO22155891@jaymierp You're not getting it, so then that American company stops buying from that Canadian company and that Canadian company shuts down because its customers aren't paying more for a product they can find cheaper.
Now talk about our cost of living in Canada? It isn't cheaper here.
@theidiotocracy Well the bread isn't fully Canadian. Baking soda and baking powder is used in bread and baked goods. Guess where that comes from?
You need to look for a label that says product of Canada for it to be 100% Canadian, made in Canada means it's not 100% Canadian. But do carry on.
@LauraBabcock Invest in Canada? You mean just like our CPP? That's heavily invested in the USA?
What products are you really boycotting that isn't American? Even our bread or baked goods are made with American products. (Baking soda, baking powder.)

@ricksongs@Deep6inc1340981@LauraBabcock Are you referring to the energy that goes from Alberta into the US and then the US provides that energy to Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces.
Potash the USA also imports that from Russia.
We really have Zero leverage.
@sophkitty_@YEGWhisper@RodKahx 112,000 jobs were lost in the beginning of 2026, so with your 181,000 gained in May, June and July we technically only gained 69,000 total jobs. How many of those jobs gained were because of the World Cup? How many are p/t summer jobs?
@dubsndoo You realize that also means no oil, or natural gas for Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces? More than 30 major cross-border transmission lines allow both countries to trade and send electricity back and forth to maintain stability and meet shifting energy demands.
@BustaNarrative Not all of us Canadians are idiots. Some of us actually understand that there's no way in HELL we are winning a trade war with USA. And that they're our allies and have protected us for longer than most of us have been alive.
@AndreaHardie@NadaBotski3 That's if you're actually getting real maple syrup in Canada. I mean do you really know if you are? They sold fake maple syrup for over two years and no one noticed.

@AtlantaPress@CTVNews It may be ridiculous, but guess what? Canadian businesses ship empty shampoo bottles across the border to the United States to be contract-filled, though logistics and cross-border duties apply.
@RodKahx Yes they will, but that cost will be also be passed onto Canadians and Canadian businesses. American companies just won't purchase from Canadian companies or if they do they'll charge more and make us as the consumer (even in Canada) pay for that extra cost.
@MiaBryant374659 Unless it says product of Canada, then it's not 100% Canadian. If it says made in Canada it's made from imported and domestic goods which could be from the USA. Just an FYI.
@JayR_Xx You literally can't. Bread, and baked goods have baking soda and baking powder in them, guess where that comes from? The natural gas to heat your home? We import natural gas into Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime provinces from suppliers in the northeastern United States.
@Smil3yAngel Maybe he didn't, but he could've also ended it. How many Canadians are going to lose their jobs? How many businesses are going to move south or just completely shut down because no trade deal was made? This isn't going to go well for Canada, our economy is going to crumble.
@Mellyfax We can not win a trade war with the USA. Canadian businesses will move south, (42% of manufacturing already has or is considering it), Canadian businesses will shut down, (as they'll lose the American customer), jobs will be lost for Canadians. Not good for Canada.
@realDark_Star So you're not buying bread or baked goods? Baking soda and baking powder come from the US.
Also we can't win a trade war with largest economy in the world. But do keep pretending that we can.
