Results: CANADIANS ONLY SURVEY: USA Boycott
Published on 03/06/2025
USA residents please answer not applicable to all for the points. I'm interrupting my trivia series for this political one. I'm curious how people intend to deal with US products and companies after the tariffs go into effect, assuming they actually did by the time this is published. Note that the four questions are divided by type of product/service and you can mix yes and no answers because of differing circumstances.

Are you boycotting or planning to boycott services from American companies with franchises that are Canadian owned by locals? Examples would be McDonalds or Jiffy Lube. (This can get complicated because while, for example, Jiffy Lube is an American company, it is ultimately owned by Shell Oil, which is British. There are probably other franchisers with similar circumstances.) Yes, to try to influence US companies to apply pressure to repeal the tariffs
