As tensions rise between Canada and the United States over proposed tariffs by President Donald Trump, many Canadians are taking a stand by pledging to buy Canadian products. This movement comes as a response to Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on Canadian imports, prompting citizens to reconsider their shopping habits and travel plans to support Canadian businesses.
With Trump’s decision to delay the implementation of tariffs until at least March, the effectiveness of this ‘Buy Canadian’ pledge remains uncertain. It raises questions about whether this grassroots movement can make a significant impact on the trade war between the two countries.
Global’s Heather Yourex-West delves into the potential influence of the ‘Buy Canadian’ movement in light of Trump’s tariff threats. As Canadians vow to support their own economy in the face of external pressures, the outcome of this movement could have lasting implications on consumer behavior and trade relationships.
As the ‘Buy Canadian’ movement gains momentum, it reflects the growing concerns and determination of Canadians to stand up against foreign tariffs and protect their economy. The impact of this pledge, however, will only become clearer as the trade war between Canada and the United States continues to unfold.

Canada sells the U.S. a lot of raw materials, (nickel, steel, aluminum, potash, oil, electricity) which U.S. companies use to manufacture things. This employs Americans in those all-important manufacturing jobs! That's the best kind of trade deal you can get. But Trump lies and pretends it isn't. Canada can't possibly buy all that's made from those raw materials, but American companies can and do sell those goods to Canada and other countries or domestically for a handsome profit. So the trade deficit Trump complains about is an illusion he's using to run a con on the American people.
The Trump Tariffs are a policy by billionaires, for billionaires. Don't buy the con job.
A smart competent prime minister would never have let things get to this point. I’m not backing stupid. I’ll buy what I want. I can’t imagine Trump would even try doing this to Harper. Remember last week when you all wanted to get rid of Trudeau? Now he’s conned you all into backing him in a fight we can’t win. We should be thanking Trump for making it so painfully obvious that we should have developed our resources and more trading partners.
I will buy from USA until all the commies go away.
There is a Made in Canada website.
Well, the Orange Felonizer strike again. -this time Canadians united. A wave of boycott USA products united us. This movement should continue. This was a wakeup call. We have the resources…Lets build our own cars. Lets refine our own oil…Let's establish new partnerships and diversify our business partnerships. We need this kind of leadership – Use this opportunity to build a strong and better Canada.
Liberal types would rather do business with Russia or China any day this proves it 100% .
This will last a week😂
Didn't you hear? Trudeau bent over for Trump immediately on Border security that Canada should have done years ago and now LIberal Canadian media is trying to pretend the Tariffs were real by continuing the fear mongering about them.

The best move for Canada to really piss of the americans will be to remove all tariffs on BYD.

Support your local farmers/greenhouses across Canada.
I’ve always tried to buy Canadian products wherever and whenever I could when the quality and price were comparable and that won’t change but now I’ll be paying even more attention to country of origin. Competition is a good thing and helps to maintain quality and keep prices reasonable but I’d rather choose products from other countries that haven’t insulted us, threatened a trade war or threatened to annex us against our will. Even if the tariffs never materialize the damage is done and won’t be undone anytime soon.
Golden eggs $799.00 doz
Anyone?😂😂
Instead of protecting the border. They hate us instead. Hey canada…we don’t care if you buy a thing from us…ever.
Tariffs or no tariffs….I’ll continue to buy Canadian, we should have been doing this long before a threat from Trump to begin with. ❤️🇨🇦❤️
This American family will be actively looking for Canadian products. Trump is our greatest shame.
So proud of my Canadian neighbors ☝️❤❤❤
LMFAO!! Then you Canadians will be left with nothing but jean jackets, Ketchup chips and hockey cards!!😂😅
Nothing made in Canada has any value outside its borders.
Ya okay then. Going off at the mouth are we now? The average Everyday Canadian lives pay check to pay check & is going to buy what they/we can afford. If it's from China or the States we do not care. Actually properly healthily feeding our families & paying our bills comes first. You want us to buy Canadian? Make Canadian products affordable.
I stopped buying American while Trump was in office last time…..and I didn't change that habit while Biden was in…. can't trust the fickle friendship or the food quality
Canada and Mexico are side shows.
Trump and Game of Throne’s 2.0 has arrived.
The Trump Card, Elon Musk just save $50 billion in one cut, USAID.
The Dragons Bondi, Patel, Gabbard and Horman, the Four Dragons who are going to torch the Democrats Cabal. They are running scared. It’s Prime Time TV folks
I will continue to buy Canadian even during and after the 30 day pause.
all you xbox fans should be trading it in for a ps5! japan has NEVER threating us!
Canada is sending troops to the border – that has been resolved, why are you still reporting on tariff that no longer exist?
Avoid florida and go to the caribbean.
As an American. I support you 100%!
2:03 Laughable, like we're going to believe you are actually throwing them away.
How about working with our allies instead of acting like a bunch of two year olds?
I will buy Canadian till Trump is out of office.
Please start selling our products to Europe and east Asia. The world is not only USA.
75% of Canadian toilet paper comes from America. Canadians must stop wiping to show support for Canada
Any “expert” can be bought so I don’t really trust any of them
It's not about ONLY buying Canadian. It's about NOT buying American as much as possible. There are alternatives from other countries when Canadian is not available. Like oranges from Morocco instead of Florida.
Canadian version of the Boston Tea Party.
the rationale. is canada is faciltating fentanyl and china
Cant believe the US has a President who works like hell to secure better deals for his country, despite the lunatic woke/left hysteria raging around the World
I don't care that there's a 30 days hold on tariffs, I'm not buying american products until Trump and his republican cronies are out of that government. We don't deal with bullies and their flakie behavior. Agreements and deals are made for stability, not for control.
The u.s gave us no choice
Trump" Can't Be Trusted,"!!!We have to protect ourselves,Buy Canadian!!!
Once trust is gone, it is very hard to get back. Sorry, America. I'm going to buy some Molson Canadian. 😁🇨🇦🍻
In fact, for the next several years buy only Canadian, vacation only in Canada, support small business.
Damage done … China might offer to move 10.000 elite troops on the US border ! 😂what a clown President.
Canadians must buy more american or sell their goods somewhere else. There is a huge trade imbalance between US and Canada .
Laughable….baaahaaha…team Canada
This virtue signalling using alcohol and orange boycott is ridiculous virtue signalling. USA products now like covid psychosis and we must filter products and distance ourselves from USA products and vaccinate Canada economy.
