As U.S.-Canada relations worsen, Michigan’s Sault area has lost an estimated $62.7M due to decreased crossings. It’s bewildering, a state senator says. He recalls Canadians helping locals fix the grid after a storm: “This is our best friend in the entire world.”

He's not your best friend, he's a pedophile and rapist and if you don't do exactly what he says he will fuck you over even more. I don't know what's wrong with you guys I would cut this country off just like that and Source my products from other countries

Said Senator clearly does not understand the meaning of "bewildering". Said Senator sounds about as bright as Ms. Slotkin, who had the supreme gall to come to Canada and debase us by labeling our boycott of US travel and US products "a pissing contest". They can both FRO. #notsorry

“This is our best friend in the entire world.” That's why Trump hates them. They are far more loved & respected than his MAGA movement. He thinks that, courtesy of the U.S. military he kneecapped and dodged serving in, he can abuse Canadians. He is clearly, emphatically wrong.

Once again, American reporting, even from an amazing organization like ProPublica, misses the point. The tarriffs are not the cause; they are a symptom. We Canadians are defending against an American government that has repeatedly and consistently threatened our sovereignty.

Senator sad that neighbor they punched in the face doesn’t want to attend their BBQ anymore. Delusional moron. Canadians are telling the corrupt US Regime to kiss our ass by staying home or travelling to our other friends homes that aren’t in the US. Get used to it.

Why would you not mention the repeated reference to Canada as " the 51st state" or our (former) PM as " Governor of Canad" as part of the Canadian reaction. Kinda of a big deal here and goes a long way to explaining the underlying psychology of the boycott.

It's not about the tariffs. We don't take his repeated threats to annex Canada as jokes. He ignores agreements he negotiated himself. He only speaks of us with threats and contempt. Yet most articles, including this one, only mention tariffs. Until Americans get this we can't have a relationship.

Reminder: Trump and his cronies picked a fight that no Canadians asked for. In my Canadian family we have grads of US universities, Nexus pass holders who visited often, and a Florida condo for almost 20 yrs (sold last year). None of us is doing business or visiting until this regime is gone.

Was just there 2 weeks ago on my way to Alpena. Surprisingly way less Trump signage through there than when I was last there 2 years ago. Thumb? Different story. My wife’s family is all out there and diehard MAGA with a few Q-nutters. That shit is still up everywhere.

Michigan’s Sault area is in the 1st congressional. They are represented(sic) by MAGAt Jack Bergman. It went 60% for tr*mp in 24. They are in the FO stage of their Fucking Around vote. So get the fuck out of here with that “it’s bewildering” bullshit!

Of course, you seem to miss the significant issue here. 🇨🇦 Sault Ste Marie, ON is a city of 72,000 people with a strong industrial base of steel & wood products both of Trump has attacked. SSM🇨🇦 is pissed!! So imagine what happens to 🇺🇸Soo,MI(pop13,000) when 🇨🇦 boycotts them? They pay for Trump’s BS!

I grew up separated from MI & UP by water. I visited frequently. But I was also close to Fort St. Joseph were 🇨🇦 fought 🇺🇸 in the War of 1812. This is our time to fight 🇺🇸!! I am proud of the people of SSM/Algoma for #BoycottUSA Especially anti🇨🇦 Trump lackeys in MI. Fuck them I hope they are hurting!

The American people do not support these tariffs or the actions of this current administration. Especially when it comes to actions taken against our neighbors and our allies. Recourse is on the horizon as is a day of political reconciliation.
