Actually you don't need to imagine it. We'd be an electrified economy driving electric cars powered by solar and wind energy and you wouldn't care what the price of gas was.

In truth, Trump is trying to rile up Canada's far right ahead of the Alberta referendum to divide Canada. He's desperate.

We kidnapped the Venezuelan president and stole their oil so we won't need oil from Canada. We tried the same in Iran and disrupted the global oil/fertilizer supply. We'll get Potash fertilizer from Belarus so we don't need Canada's Potash.

The boycotts actually started slowly in Dec '24 before Trump was even President when Trump questioned Canada's ability to exist sans U.S., grew in Jan '25 when he threatened to use 'economic force' to annex Canada and took off when he first imposed tariffs in Feb '25.

It's their argument in Iran. It's Russia's argument in Ukraine. What matters is Canadians have more resolve to win the war. We've had that mindset for 18+ months. We have the resolve and will to outlast Trump.

Canadians are travelling differently. Canadians are buying and consuming stuff differently. Canadians are thinking and behaving differently. This will be a lot harder to fully undo than just a boycott.
