‘Buy Canadian’ movement just as strong 19 months since trade war began: poll - National | Globalnews.ca

In February 2025, Trump first announced tariffs against Canada. Abacus conducted a poll of Canadians asking if they intend to boycott American products.

Now if buying Canadian meant having better options. Crave is the only Canadian streaming platform I know of and on top of giving money to Bell, it’s… not great.

    I mean, sometimes cheapest wins. As long as what you’re walking out with is Canadian or at least not American. Personally my other options are Loblaws and Metro, and between the three of them milk is usually cheaper at Walmart, just as an example. And yes, I buy a Canadian brand.

      “Fun” fact: Walmart has/had an entire business strategy that boils down to:

      • Enter new market,
      • Undercut new market, using established stores to support the new one,
      • Pay employees poorly so that they can’t afford established businesses even if they wanted to,
      • Drive out local businesses/any competition at all,
      • Jack up prices so store can be successful.

      Buying cheap from Walmart is not a good idea.
