An interesting barometer of the tensions, is by looking at Canadian grocers website. All that I have seen, have "buy Canadian" and "produced in Canada" plastered onto most products. Even Walmart has a "made in Canada" tab.
I wouldn't read too much into this. I wouldn't read too much into this. A few years ago it was "black businesses", but I doubt anyone was actually basing their purchasing decisions on it. It's just businesses trying to ride the current thing.
I live 20 minutes from the Canadian border. We get the best reception from Vancouver radio stations, so we listen to lots of Canadian radio.
It's not just businesses. Literally half their radio content is about buy Canada, avoid the US, Trump is bad for Canada, etc. This content is produced by every group: political ads, government PSAs, advertisements, the talkshow hosts, people calling in...
My county is very dependent on Canadians driving down to buy American goods and we are getting hit hard. I'm not excited for the local economic effects of this trade war (or anything else about it).
You seem to be talking about a USA social phenomenon that happened in USA?
You are gravely misunderstanding what is currently happening. Now that the depths of American treachery and bloodthirst have been laid bare, the mood in Canada is similar to January 2022 Ukraine.

Corporations cashing in on the current thing is hardly something limited to the US.

Putin spent a long time saber rattling before he invaded Ukraine. I guess they shouldn't have been concerned back then because nothing horrible started happening yet?
No, because the same is true. At least about half of Americans are angry at America too. And if you look specifially at the administration's stance towards Canada, if you believe polling a sizable majority are as angry and baffled as you are.
Most of your produce and groceries are made in America. It just isn’t worth it to ship broccoli from China. In Canada, it’s mostly foodstuff and soft goods also that is being discriminated against for being American, farmers, distillers, food processors, etc… are going to be the most effected.
