Trump agreed to delay tariffs on Canada and Mexico after their leaders agreed to measures to stop the flow of the opioid fentanyl into the United States.
I’ve been trying to de-billionaire my life lately. The strategy at the moment for spending money is:
Buy nothing, if possible.
Then buy used, if I have to spend money.
If I can’t buy used, then buy local.
If I can’t buy local, then buy Canadian or Mexican.
I hope the various provinces continue to not shelve US alcohol. Trump said he was pausing the tariffs. When he says he’s canceling them, then ease off.
I managed to do a pretty good grocery shop today and I managed to only buy 1 American onion. There was a local option but I couldn’t justify buying (or carrying) 25lbs without a plan. It’s a local grocery store though, and I’m confident they’re working on making buying Canadian/boycotting American products much easier very soon.
Keep boycotting US goods, people. Even if no tariff comes to pass, we need to swing away from our dependence on US trade.
Actually… As an American, I can also prioritize Canadian goods, I’m guessing. Maybe we can do both, from both sides of things?
This said, if the ploy here is to milk those goods for money via terrifs and then point to them as a huge success, it may only harm the situation…
Hell, I want to boycott US goods and I’m an American living in America!
Literally do that if you can buy Canadian instead.

Buy Canadian. Our beer and whisky is better anyway.
Dont let your dreams be dreams.
I wanted a hamburger. Instead I ordered chicken Tikka Masala. I think that’s about all that’s in my power to do at this point…
I had Schnitzel instead of chicken-fried steak.
Buying Canadian just got 25% easier!
SMAE!
