    The Canadian movement to not buy from the USA is already showing some economic impact (though it’s hard to see through all of the other self-inflicted economic problems the USA has caused). It doesn’t even take that much time to have a real economic impact.

      Sure Canadians can hurt a few American parasites but Canada doesn’t have the scale to make US hurt in any meaningful way though

      So it falls into symbiotic message category imho

        Depends on what you define as “meaningful”, but lots of things have already reached that threshold in my opinion. Travel into the US has dropped by up to 50% in some cases, which severely hurts their tourism industry, especially in northern parts of the USA. US politicians are talking about it, claiming outrageous things like “Canada has banned US goods”. Canadians stores are struggling to sell some USA products, being forced to put discounts on them and stopping or postponing the order of replacement stock.

        Anyway, symbols are only worth something if they mean something.

          Meaningful means it will impact US regime whores to actually change course.

          So far nothing really worked on them.

          So pressure needs to be escalated to the max
