I don't know about people not purchasing. It may be the part of Canada I'm in, but USAian products aren't sitting on the shelves for as long and a lot of people have lost the care to avoid them if they ever did. A great example was last summer when USAian watermelons were rotting in the bins at grocery stores while Mexican and Canadian ones were selling quickly. This year I'm seeing people pick them up without a care. It doesn't help USAian companies are purposely hiding the origins and maple washing their products.

Plus, the uptick in Canadians travelling south of the border for non-work purposes means full acceptance and support for the USAian administration by those choosing to go to there.

I'm keeping up my boycott and always will. Those that don't boycott when they can afford to or simply don't care can be the first dealt with as traitors when the time inevitably comes.

You can replace USAian with just "US"

Would sound weird to say US when talking about the people. Just say American, like everyone else.

And because I know someone will be butthurt, GTFO. Virtually everyone calls it America, get over it.
