Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

If you mean a booming local tourism industry and new trade deals across the world suffering, ok. Long term Trump may be the best thing to happen to Canada and Mexico.
There's a recent article about trade:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canada-trade-oct-2025-9.7037913
Exports to the US are still 2/3 of all Canadian trade. Canada's exports around the world did increase significantly in percentage terms (up 15.6%). But, because 2/3 of all Canadian exports are to the US, the fact they were down 4.1% is a major issue.
As for booming tourism, I don't know where you're getting that statistic. International tourism overall is down 1.1% overall. Canadian residents are doing more tourism within Canada, but far fewer Americans are visiting, so overall things are down slightly.
In the long run Canada may be less dependent on the US, which is a good thing. But, it's hardly a boon for the economy for the previously low-friction relationship to now be high-friction.
