A Kentucky bus tour. A five-day cruise to Alaska. A multi-state road trip, already postponed once by COVID-19.

These are just a handful of the trips to the U.S. that Canadian residents have cancelled in recent weeks — costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars — to spend their time and money exploring Canada instead.

"With everything going on in the United States at the moment, it doesn't sit well with me to be putting our hard-earned money into their economy," Michelle Gardner, a B.C. resident who recently cancelled a U.S. spring break trip, told CBC News.


"In the next four years, we will be looking at spending our money here and exploring all that Canada has to offer."

The "Buy Canadian" movement is growing in popularity, in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump placing massive U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods and repeatedly threatening to annex Canada. Provinces and territories are seeing increased interest from Canadian tourists — and they're looking to capitalize on that momentum.
 


I mean, one thing you can say for Trump is he was quite persistent with pro-tariff rhetoric on the campaign trail — even as his staff begged him to talk about grocery prices instead. He was less clear about DOGE being an indiscriminate wood chipper but he didn’t make any bones about creating DOGE as an instrument of government cuts to outright destruction (Dept of Education).
 
Has any reporter asked Trump if tariffs are going to make us richer than we can imagine why he doesn't make them even higher or expand to other countries?

You know i hate to see anyone suffer, but the farmers had first hand knowledge from the first trump administration playing around with tariffs. What did they think was going to be different?
 
Can you link to a comment on bluesky? There's an amazing video embedded in one of the comments to that Quintanilla chirp (is that a blue sky tweet?)
