I won't back down either. Pretty much will try to shop Canadian first as much as possible.

Same, and I live in the US
You bet we are. And quite possibly for generations.
I avoid US crap as much as I can. And definitely not food now they've gutted the safety checks.
I live on the border and I will never cross it again.
It's too bad our government doesn't seem to share this stance. There seems to be more and more cases where they use 'elbows up' type marketing messages, while implementing an 'elbows down, cheeks spread' set of practices.
Was just looking at some of the govt sector mandate letters for 2025, and.... while tariffs are mentioned, there's no real direction to take action.
Like in BC, Eby and them attempt to paint themselves as pro Canada, only to issue these lame-duck mandate letters to gov regulators/industry. An example? The closest the BC FSA (financial regulators) 2025 mandate letter comes to the subject is prolly with this line:
In the current economic and fiscal context including the threat of U.S. tariffs and other global economic challenges affecting British Columbian families, your organization is to work with ministry staff to review all existing programs and initiatives to ensure programs remain relevant, efficient, sustainable, grow the economy, and help keep costs low for British Columbians.
Note that the 'actions' directed in the second half of that line, don't actually address the threat noted in the first half. There's no push to distance from US tech companies; so long as they're cheap, sovereignty be damned.
The BC financial regulators are fully entrenched in Microsoft products / American cloud systems. So the regulator of one of our "Critical Industries" can't perform their duties without paying a subscription to a US company. Totally sounds like we're a sovereign nation to me....
