If Donald Trump thought he could intimidate Canada, he just got a wake-up call. I sat down with Canadian Member of Parliament Charlie Angus, who made it clear: Canada isn’t backing down from Trump’s latest round of threats, tariffs, and outright nonsense about “conquering” Canada. In fact, Trump’s unhinged attacks are fueling a massive grassroots boycott of American products, tourism, and businesses—hitting the U.S. economy where it hurts.
Angus didn’t mince words, calling Trump a “criminal” and a “convicted predator” whose word means absolutely nothing. And Canadians, he said, aren’t surprised. They’ve seen this rodeo before. Last week, Trump claimed Canada was a “narco-state” flooding the U.S. with fentanyl. This week, it’s steel and aluminum tariffs. Next week? Who knows? The only certainty with Trump is that he lies, he grifts, and he bullies.
But here’s the kicker: Trump’s bluster is backfiring spectacularly. Canadians are canceling trips to Florida, Arizona, and other U.S. destinations en masse. Border towns in Michigan, New York, and Washington are already seeing empty stores. Tourism-dependent states like Kentucky, Texas, and Florida are panicking over lost revenue. U.S. businesses are scrambling to reassure Canadian customers, with call centers even transferring them straight to supervisors begging them not to boycott.
And if that wasn’t bad enough for Trump, the movement is spreading beyond Canada. Angus pointed out that people across Europe are watching closely, seeing Canada’s resistance as a model for how to push back against Trump’s brand of authoritarianism.
Then there was Trump’s latest pathetic attempt to gaslight Canadians, claiming they’d be better off as the 51st U.S. state. Angus shredded that fantasy in seconds: Canadians don’t have to worry about getting shot in their classrooms, don’t go bankrupt from medical bills, and don’t tolerate grifters like Trump.
So here’s the message to Trump: Keep talking. Keep threatening. Every time you open your mouth, you just make Canadians more determined to resist. And this time, it’s not just talk—it’s billions of dollars leaving the U.S. economy and a global resistance building against your authoritarian nonsense.
Charlie Angus summed it up best: “We will never break. We will never bow down. And we will never, ever, ever kiss your ring.”

Hahahahaha…”I don't want to spend too much time deconstructing the idiocy of Donald Trump’s brain.” Good play MP Angus! As an American citizen—I wholly support your country kicking Trump’s ass.
There is no mind to deconstruct...
Had a great chuckle on that one, Harvey! You are soooo right! Thank you!
That's funny. And also true.
🤣🤣🤣
You're right. Before God created Donald’s brain—she put the mold back on the shelf.
I wish our own politicians would stand up against this fascist buffoon like you just did Mr. Angus!!! Keep up your boycott!!! Go Canada!!!
💯 Trump is the first White House fascist in US history—and will succeed at toppling our reputation as the most powerful country in the world. 😖
I'm with you Lynn!!
😆👍
For sure
Go CANADA!!!🇨🇦 (Me an American)
Canadians, keep doing what you're doing by not supporting USA and supporting your economy. Stay fascism free!
Please continue to boycot American products and vacations, as only Financial PAIN to the businesses here, whose owners support Trump and his cronies, will force them to reconsider and turn on Trump and his cohorts.
I live in FL and seeing only a few Canadian license plates around. We depend a lot on our tourism.. this red state got what it voted for. Lot of not so smart humans here, it’s difficult to navigate thru them 🤬
They mentioned that 38% of Florida tourism is ...er.. was Canadian! That will make a huge impact.
Boo. That's isolationist & exactly what a fascist loves. When they can provoke another country to put down the entire population of another country, they smile.
Start treating other human beings as disposable tissue because they live in another country. Gee where ever have I read/seen that type of behavior before?
Canadians. Don't buy anything from the states. We are a fascist nation.
Encourage your own suffering I reject it
Stay strong Canada! I’m sorry we put you in this position
100 percent support Canadian’s right to choose. Bermuda, Mexico and the Caribbean are very nice places to visit as well.
and please visit our beautifull Germany :-) you are very welcome here :-) we have old history places and wonderfull landscapes :-) and we fight against dictatorship!
We learn english in school, so you can comunicate very easy :-)
American here!!! I love love love Germany🌹🌹🌹
Thanks Christina :-) your words make me very happy!!
Best wishes to you, stay safe :-)
You’re welcome… spent 12!years there as part of the military and wish I could go back
Thanks for all the years staying here!! You are welcome to stay again here!
Thank you for the wonderful years and hosting me and my children… my daughter is there now with her husband and of course enjoying it once again
Hi, Oliver, I spent six years of my childhood in Germa y, my dad was stationed at Hahn AFB, and also three years as an adult. I loved it there, I thought it was magical; Christmas not commercialized like here, castles, great food.
Hello Dawn, nice that you have so good memorys with us :-) we apreciate the US-Military very much! Yes, our Christmas is different, maybe a different style of cozy/homely :-) thanks for your nice words!
I will be visiting your country later this year, though conditional upon the health of my dog.
But I'm coming from Britain, so only a short hop to the Hoek of Holland and then on to Essen primaily. Me and my motorbike cannot wait to blaze around Deutsland, down to München Bavaria. And onwards.
It is a beautiful land you have with stunning scenery.
Just wanted to affirm what you said to others. Your people also.
Hello Tam, that is a great journey! I hope you enjoy every moment and that you meet nice people every day.
Best wishes to you and your dog :-)
I've been to your country. Loved it--wish I could have spent more time there.... WE in America NEED to learn other languages. It's so stupid that we don't...... I think the most I can do is say "hello" and "goodbye" in French....... Actually, I take that back--also in German and Spanish.
Hello Jean, thanks for your nice words, great that you love it here :-) yes, languages so important! We in Germany can learn many languages if we want and if there are teachers around: english, frensh, spanish, russian, turkey...
This world needs communication, understanding, need connection and friendship.
Urgently.
And your country tells the truth about the Holocaust. Americans still have trouble telling the truth about our original sin of slavery and MAGA is working to obliterate it from the history books. There can be no true reconciliation or moving forward without first admitting the truth of our past.
Hello Oaktown, yes we talk about our history.
Its not for feeling of guilty, but to analyze the steps how a mass-hypnozis works. In our schools the movie "the wave" is often watching.
Its about a social experiment where a teacher manipulate to autocracy a class in a school in america, based on a true stroy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wave_(2008_film)#:~:text=The%20Wave%20(German%3A%20Die%20Welle,Strasser's%20novel%20The%20Wave.
I guess this film is highly important for the USA right now...
If in Germany a person say "the Holocaust never has happen" he recive visit from the police and get a big problem.
I think it was in the book "1984" from Orwell where it speaks about the significance that a dictatorship changes the history. The book we read in schools.
Yes Oaktown, you in Amerika have giant problem with conspiracy theorys and stone-heart rassists and heavy lies in the media. If here a media tells lie its a scandal, in USA its normal.
You have so much work in your society to do...and so many kind smart people. The inoformation of Meidas Touch is extremly key-important.
Thank you, Oliver, for your wisdom and recommendations. Many years ago I watched a documentary on the 1971 Stanford prison experiment. It was very disturbing to see how the student "prison guards" became increasingly sadistic and drunk with their power over fellow student "prisoners."
I've been horrified by this human weakness for sadistic scapegoating since a 7th grade English teacher showed our class films made by the U.S. military when they liberated German concentration camps at the end of WWII (anyone can find them now on YouTube).
In today's America I doubt any teacher would be allowed to show those films, but for me it was an unforgettable illuminating exposure to what atrocities "group think" can produce when people are ignorant of their own vulnerability to becoming truly evil. I have great respect for the way the German govt. has handled the aftermath of Hitler's Third Reich.
Yes, from Germany here as well! I avoid US products in my grocery store but just love to get maple syrup in a bottle that looks like a maple leaf!
Hello Kristina :-) yes to avoid the products is a good idea i think so... there are online shops to buy canadian products
wenn i ask google "produkte aus kanada kaufen" it shows many shops
https://www.kanada-fan.shop/
yes, the canada leaf i like also :-)
I'm going to vacation in Canada this year for sure. I'm going buy Canadian as much as I can. I'm switching to Canadian Whisky - no more Burbon for me!
great idea! they need support!
Convicted felon for sure!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
please support Canadas boycott of tourism and products
Friggin idiot! Naked emperor has no class! We knew it we knew it! Just an evil liar!🤥
Yep I'm convinced he's being told what to do!! Conald is a very simple minded little thin skinned 5th grade 34time felon sex prdator!! Prove me wrong! Donald is affecting every one of us with very toxic energy folks!!
Release the Epstein files!!!!
if only one person could ask him why not? Because of under age minors you were pàrtaking with Donald? Your religious followers gonna support you with that? Melonia wouldn't care? Was she a minor when Epstein introduced you to her? A gold minor? He he he!
Yes, instead of Canada having to use a battering ram at the Oval office door after kindly negotiations fail, it would be much easier if 'someone/s' would just unlock the door from inside. 😊🇨🇦😊🇨🇦😊🇨🇦
Canada- Keep standing strong and keeping our money in our country.
Our boycott is having an impact on the only factor which seems to shift many American's opinions: an impact on their own personal finances.
Buy Canadian! Dump American services! Keep your travel loonies here or spend them on one of the many supportive, pro-democracy countries! Thank you, Ben and Charlie- we need your strong voices to help keep us hopeful. Determined is not a problem, but hopeful can be a stretch some days.
I still cannot understand how this over grown bully boy won this election!! Why did so many citizens not show up to support the USA democracy? 🤷♀️
One of the biggest reasons is that so many men in this country still think a woman isn't capable of running a country. Others have handled it very well. (Germany, U.K., etc.)
Stupidity is how he won… people actually thought he was going to lower the price of eggs… yes eggs!!
yes i wonder also about this focus on eggs.
Then i asked google.
Eggs is a indicator for all prices of grocery: when eggs price rise - all products rise.
I thought it was bread. Also, don't forget that he was going to secure the borders and make everyone safe- he's also the self- declared "Father of IVF" ( huge eye roll).
I sure don't know, what a kick in the gut. But, a lot of factors that are still coming out, right? It's been a long game, even longer than the Tea Party & Project 2025. A cultural shift that will be significant in history, if we go on to have a history. I think it's the shift in demographics & power away from white male entitlement. But, sorta like the MP said, we maybe don't want it put too much into deconstructing & speculating on all the dysfunction ATM, some perspective comes only in retrospect, & we have to find our way forward now. I hope with all I am that we get very clear on what's important & get a long game in place to never let our democracy be so betrayed again.
They ran Kamala Harris against Trump on purpose knowing full well she would never win. They are all in on the take down.
That's why congress is doing nothing to stop Trump.
Thankyou Canada your sanity is intact. My apology for the bat-sheet non-leader & Traitor! What makes me sad is the loss of our friendship w Canadians. We are not all cut of the same fabric. Please remember that💔.
I know that. I don’t hate my American friends and family. Keep fighting for your country! Stand up for yourself and your country. Protect your neighbours too!
I am & I will…TY. I live across the border so Canada is our sister. What is happening here is unforgivable & so so wrong! Russia is NOT our pal & Nazism is NOT our way. America is in shock but we will find our footing!!
Even a tiny grain of sand becomes noticeable in a person's shoe. Go Canadians. Boycott everything American. Give Trump the finger.
Give him the finger because there are many Americans doing that 🖕🏼🖕🏼just like me!!!💙💙
Me too!
Thank you
🇨🇦
Exactly! Remember the mosquito. Only takes one to totally ruin your day.
I live in South Carolina and one of the reddest states with some of the most fanatical Trump supporters in the nation. Over 1 million of our citizens did not vote for him, but understand any action you take in not spending money in my state. We stand with you!
Our family has been a frequent vacation group to the dear ‘old US of A’, from Oz..
We are certainly not returning, unless the following as a minimum occurs;
- “Orange Boy” is gone
- MAGA is no longer…, and
- Roe V. Wade (women’s rights) are restored
We may be just one voice here but we’re alongside you Substack and Meidas Mighty!
Keep up the great work !
Thank you Roger!🙌
I'm extremely concerned. Yesterday there was some conversation on TikTok talking about why Americans weren't taking Canada seriously when they said they were preparing for war. Some said that it has drawn provinces together that would never ever pull together except in case of threat. They said that Americans seem to think Trump's blathering about annexing is just him blathering, but Trump has repeatedly said it's not a joke. Canadians are saying that Canada is preparing for war. They say they're sorry and they don't wish harm on their American friends and family, but they're getting death threats from Maga - and a LOT of them - clearly the usual Maga threatening to come up and just start shooting. We've had those situations here, too - not sure how they'd just go door to door and shoot Democrats, but in Canada they wouldn't have to check party affiliation. So... why isn't the U.S. taking Canada's preparation seriously? Part of it is Canadians don't know why we haven't heard of them preparing for war. We've tried to point out that the U.S. has some really amazing media propaganda and government censorship going on, but people aren't used to thinking of the U.S. in those terms. *Can you do what you can to make Canada's preparations public and have conversations with Canadians about it? Canadians are concerned that we're not taking it seriously. It's such a horrific prospect I can hardly even fathom it, honestly. We love Canadians and Trump is going to ruin that. It breaks my heart.*
It won't. They know that it's Trump, Musk and a relatively small amount of demented moronic Americans.
53% of polled voters approve of the job Trump is doing. That is no small number! Mind-boggling.
Please don’t buy into the bullshit the fascist propaganda media is pumping out. CBS has bent the knee to that asshole like so many before them. True patriots are supporting our constitutional government. We despise what the Musk/tRump regime is doing to this great country. Follow the independents - Kyle Kulinski, Brian Tyler Cohen, Zeteo, and so many more that are pushing back on all the outrageous lies.
#RESIST
Who are the citizens being polled? I don’t buy it - except for the chest beating MAGAS, I don’t believe anyone could find something worthwhile from this administration Perhaps those being polled are not seeing anything outside legacy media
Per Gallup Polls, tRump Presidential average thus far is 47%
I know nothing about how their polls are run. I have never been contacted for a polling except one Nielsen sent to me a year or so ago. That's only about radio and tv - I haven't even owned a tv for approx. 20 years. I just laughed and put it in the shredder.
That is propaganda. Trump has turned the MSM into part of their propaganda machine. Just part of authoritarianism. Remember Trump's minions are working on establishing a Russian style fascist oligarchy. They don't worry about the truth. The purpose of DOGE is to shift even more money to the top. They don't worry about the millions of deaths they are and will cause. This will sink in. Just wait.
Extremely concerning that so many in the U.S. seem to think this is cos play, WWE, or a reality show. And, the players aren't adapting their roles, they are still attacking the government now that they are the government, creating shadow enemies, having no concept of leadership. They don't even seem to know how to be despot rulers, just going for annihilation, end days. Horrific, I agree.
I want to move to Canada please!!!
I’m glad Trump did this. It has brought us Canadians together as a Country to fight for our freedom and democracy.
It also has shed light on our leader of the Conservative Party, Pierre Marcel Poilievre, in Canada 🇨🇦 and how they are turning into a far right party like the Republicans in the United States and we need to watch them like a Hawk.
So if it wasn’t for the Trumpets 🤣🤣 and all the chaos that Trump has triggered in his short time in office, we Canadians might be in the same position you are in today.
I know there is a Substack dedicated just to Pierre Marcel Poilievre and taking him down. So thank you Dictator Trump, you piece of garbage Elon Musk, and JD Vance! This Canadian woman thanks you for getting us riled up 😤 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Not glad Trump has done this, but it has brought a lot out that has been going on too long in the U.S.
What a great interview! Go Canada! ❤️
You are CORRECT🇨🇦❤️ just go grocery shopping, the eye contact alone, as we see each other checking the source of produce etc, Canadians are definitely in BOYCOTT MODE. LOVE YOU CHARLIE ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Charlie is great! Thanks for having him on MTN. Watch every time
Thank you for featuring our hard-working Member of Parliament, Charlie Angus! He is a good man, who defends Canadian interests and values. He picked up the torch and ran with it right after Trump announced tariffs the first time, while other voices were silent. We appreciate Charlie and thank our American friends at Meidas+ for highlighting his work and spreading the word.
Appreciate you Canada.
Yay Canada!!! Don't relent or back down!!
As an American, I wholly support your boycott, Canada. Europe, you are free to do the same. Please show your support for us who DID NOT vote for Trump. Prove him as the idiot he is-destroy the good economy he inherited, hurt his idiotic followers in their pocketbook.
I support Harvey’s comment as an American!
Yes, and we, the average US citizen are going to be hurt in any case. In fighting this horror, we are going to need all the help we can get.
Canadians will not sign on to a country
-where kids are shot in classrooms
-a country where one can go bankrupt medically
-be embarrassed by a convicted felon as leader
As a 74 yr old Canadian I have never seen a direct threat to my country's sovereignty like today, because there hasn't been one since the USA attacked Canada in 1812. We are known to help others stay safe, and we have faught tyranny in the world all along. Mr. Angus is right, we didn't need anyone to bring us together, Trump's threats have done that. We are fighting back and won't stop. We need right thinking Americans to stop him, not for Canada, but for yourselves. He is ruining America by following Hitler's 1930 playbook. Stop him now.
Canada needs to ban the import of all products made by or associated with E. Musk.
A couple of my neighbors own Teslas - bought several years ago. Neither was/is in a position to trade them in, so they removed all insignias from the outside of the cars!
I think each did this independently and aren't even acquainted!
Stand 10 toes down Canada!!💯
This American love Charile Angus!! ❤️
So American resistance...we should do our vacationing in Canada!!!
I suspect that those in this country who voted for tRump one or more times get more of the true message from other sovereign nations' defiance, reactions, actions and rhetoric than from us. Many this sad bully be rendered ineffective by those beyond our borders.We need your help, World!
Slap the the Republican party while you are at it.
Thank you, Charlie!! Go Canada!! We hate Trump!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I'm with you Canada. I'm glad you know that not all Americans are nuts. The behaviors of Trump and his regime are appalling. I'm ashamed and embarrassed.
Same here. Maybe you could adopt the states in New England. Make us a new province - New Canada! 🇨🇦 💙🇺🇸
🇨🇦 Canada, I am in complete agreement with you! CF47 & his muskrats only care about $$$$$!! They may act like they don’t care but that is a lie!! They’ll notice the drop in Tourist dollars pretty quick!!🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦💙💙
I’m not buying Kentucky bourbon either!
I’m an American living in Canada for 30 yrs.
We love of Canada. We will fight for Canada. No time or money will be spent in the U.S. We buy Canadian only. As my grandmother from Nova Scotia always said... “The Maple Leaf Forever” ❤️
Can I come visit you for a few years?
Charlie is speaking my language. How embarrassing is it to be an American right now. I have a vacation planned next month to Quebec City - what sort of reception can I expect?
I’m very happy to see Canadians responding like this! Keep it up. I’m ashamed of my country(the US) right now!
It is a distraction while he loots the Treasury and consolidates his powers 🔋.
Oh absolutely agree
Good for you Angus! You go for it!
How do you think we feel here! Lots of Americans are walking around with their eyes closed and their ears plugged up!
Isn't the attack on sovereignty the whole point. Trump wants the stature of Putin, exercising muscle and being feared in the world. We now live in a fascist dictatorship. Calling the current situation a "Constitutional crisis" is unwillingness to admit what is actually happening. Trump and the oligarchs have taken over the U.S. government.
We normally spend 3-4 months in Florida as snowbirds and spend about $4-5 thousand per month on food and accommodations. We try to avoid talking politics with our American friends. As soon as the election was won by Trump, we cancelled our plans and decided to stay home this winter. We just can’t tolerate the racism and bullying from his supporters. And, the value of the Canadian dollar dropping didn’t help either. Probably won’t go back until he is gone (however long that takes). Did our grocery shopping on the weekend and checked our labels to make sure we did not buy anything made in the US.
Thank you Mr. Angus for expressing how we all feel. A proud Canadian 🇨🇦 that says NO to becoming a state!
I wish I could boycott as an American. Canadians, please double down and don't buy ANYTHING American
I also read this morning that SOUTH of our border, Mexicans are also boycotting American products. I LOVE OUR NEIGHORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLUS. Others around the world who also may be boycotting or considering it. (I hope this includes NOT USING AMAZON!!!) Time for us AMERICANS do the same where we can, esp via Amazon.
Thank goodness our northern neighbors have guts!
Charlie, I have read that Air Canada sponsors the Republican Party. If it’s true, can you do something about that?
It’s certainly not a sponsor. I googled this. It’s a foreign country company. They might have donated to individuals in the party but laws are such, may have been limited. Good question to examine from their side of the border, though.
Phew! What a relief! Didn't think so but I wasn't are.....
Thank you Sandra.
I got my information from the free APP ‘Goods United’. It gives a breakdown of companies and their senior donations to political parties and names of individual recipients. For example, a small sample lists Mattel’s American Girl, Conair, Amoco (BP) are Trump donors. Air Canada senior donors funded Donald Trump. The company did not.
For the days of no buying, you might find it informative to discover more republican supporters and donors to add to your list. I’m no expert to be sure! I’m only a very green novice at this political nonsense. I do see the writing on the wall though and none of it looks good!
I do remember hearing stories through tears, of the tragic, spirit crushing struggles my grandparents endured in the old country and here in the US. During invasions, the Great Depression and the war years. Today’s political climate in the US has become reminiscent of those years.
Be aware. Do what you can no matter how small. Persevere. Fight back!
TRumpleorangeskin has done one good thing, however. He has sparked quiet patriotism and awakened complacency with renewed support for democracy that has been taken for granted. We never thought it would happen here. It only happens in other countries.
Do whatever you can, no matter how small you think it is, IT IS something. Prepare your family for shortages, waste nothing, substitute more available items, walk, bike, use public transport instead of driving, plant a garden, a container veg container on your door step or an herb on your window sill.
The most important thing is become and stay informed. Talk to older people who lived during the lean times for insight and ways to help us all survive.
We turned an arrogant, blind eye to the poisonous, infiltration of hate, division, mistrust and fear that is now overtaking our democratic way of life. We forgot that freedom isn’t free. We have to pay our share. (It’s on a sliding fee scale. ☺️)
P.S. Canada, Mexico, Panama, Denmark, Greenland, WHO, FBI, The justice Dept., and all our Fed, agencies and employees who are now in turmoil we apologize. 💙🇺🇸🕊️💙 We are trying to stop this destructive steamroller.
Yay Charlie!!🇨🇦
We should support our Canadian and Mexican partners by replacing our US vacation destinations for vacations in Canada/Mexico.
I grew up about 30 minutes from Canada and I loved visiting this beautiful country.
What Trump has done to our relationship with Canada is unconscionable. I stand with our Canadian friends and neighbors in their boycott of the United States.
California here, forget 51st state, can we join “Cascadia”?
Minnesota here: I’m rooting for Canadesota!
Oregon here - Count me in!
friends in Germany: there are several online-shops in Germany where we can buy Canadian products and support Canada :-)
I said it once and I will say it again. Felon 47 discovered Justin is Baron’s real dad. Put pictures of them together you will see.. 🤭
Most of us Americans do not agree with Donald Trump's tariffs the guy's a nut ball that doesn't care about the people all he cares about is himself his family the rich and Elon Musk
🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
I’m currently in FL & surrounded by Canadians speaking French on the beach
Likely it was too late to change reservations.
I understand the Canadians don’t care if they don’t get reimbursed
Cancelling and spending that 6 weeks of money. Think about it, not only the reservations but all the discretionary (sp) that won’t be spent over those 6 weeks.
I don’t blame them for boycotting. You can’t ever give in to a bully, because they’ll only get worse if you do.
Too bad democrats aren't as articulate as Charlie is at describing what it means to be opposed to something. Dems are probably still holding press conferences in front of three reporters in a small congressional office.
We have no leader in the Dem Party!
No true leader, but there are some govs that are appealing. Newsome, Shapiro, Whitmer, and Pritzker have strong resumes and aren't afraid of standing up to trump. AOC, Swawell, and a few others have some spine. The old cane waving dems need to step aside and give some new blood a chance, since old dem messaging could put a sleeping dog into a coma in 5 minutes.

I know of a Canadian who just put their house in AZ up for sale and said they
will never come back.
American here…. Travel Canada… spend our money there 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I sure wish we had American politicians that were willing to talk to trump like MP Angus. What a hero! What a stand up guy!
much better medical lol!
I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Sorry Canada.🇨🇦
I think I need to go buy some Canadian whiskey...
Charlie, you can cuss. We’ve heard it all before. Trust me we probably say worse things about this brainless twit that 75 million didn’t vote for plus 20 million that protest voted (didn’t vote), and it’s probably higher. Many here are already regretting their vote for this imbecile and the resistance is building here. There’s only so much Americans will take. We’re with you Canada! ✊🏽✊🏽🇨🇦🍁💙🇺🇸✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Hi here from Denmark 🇩🇰 sending love to our Canadian friends and allies 🫶🏻🇨🇦🇩🇰
My friends and I have been making a concerted effort to boycott American products since January 20. We’ve taken steps like canceling subscriptions for services such as Seed.com, newspapers, and dog food. We purchased new electronics before he took office in NY. In 2016 he did this first time. We learned and started scrutinizing and identify the origin of items we purchase. We are done.
CHARLIE ANGUS IS A ROCK STAR!!!! And we LOVE our Canadian Cousins! Words alone cannot express how much we appreciate all your support..... and boycotting American products and travel down here: BRILLIANT!! It may be the only thing that breaks through the insanity. HANG IN THERE, CANADA!
MP Angus--thanks so much! We (majority of Americans) appreciate and love your country very much. I hope that The Dictator Criminal Psycho who is in the Oval Office hasn't damaged our two countries excellent relationship permanently. Hopefully we can get back on track soon and hope the Dingbat hasn't ruined it forever.
Keep it up Canada: “Trump’s bluster is backfiring spectacularly. Canadians are canceling trips to Florida, Arizona, and other U.S. destinations en masse. Border towns in Michigan, New York, and Washington are already seeing empty stores. Tourism-dependent states like Kentucky, Texas, and Florida are panicking over lost revenue. U.S. businesses are scrambling to reassure Canadian customers, with call centers even transferring them straight to supervisors begging them not to boycott.“ 🇨🇦
I know some Canadians that often come down for canine agility and other dog events. That's not happening now.
Sadly, there are so many idiot maga Americans who love themselves some orange jesus. I applaud Canadians for their strength in standing up to trump and his freakish cult. Canadians love FL in the winter, but Bahamas and other Caribbean countries would welcome Canadians. Blue states are not maga trump dumps. Our family hopes to vacation in Atlantic Canada, if you will have us...
Wow! Kudos to Angus, and to Canadians! As a US citizen, I'm proud to join millions of Americans who don't claim Trump and his antics.
I support all countries place a 50% tariff on the import of golf clubs and golfing accessories (such as bags, carts, balls) made in America by companies like: Callaway, Ping, TaylorMade, and Cobra.
Probably several others that could be included but those 4 are the top producers.
How can we Americans "buy Canadian"?
Since when is our medical insurance better than Canada! Felon traitor trump knows nothing but lies, hate, misinformation, and bullying!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the SAVE act - a voter suppression bill
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DF89jr4tOeA/?igsh=MWIyNnB1emg3eXNndg==
Great interview! I hope that the Canadians keep it up! Don’t buy American and don’t vacation in America. Money talks. Trump’s phones will be ringing off the hook with complaints. Make him the most hated and unpopular president in American history. Make that his legacy!
I'm with you 💯% trump needs to be squashed into the ground along with musk!! 😁👍
And as an American, I support Canada 100%! I won’t boycott Canada, however, I support their boycott against us. Go Canada! 🇨🇦 NOT MY PRESIDENT.
15 Canadians were heading out to Goat Island in Niagara Falls. Trip was cancelled.
Charlie you tell them. I would not set foot in the USA till the Orange man is no more. Just went shopping today and purchased food make in Canada and Mexico. I am a proud Canadian. I wouldn't have it any other way
We need a name for those of us who vote blue but live in a red state.
Please let our Canadian friends know that most of us did NOT vote for this!!
I 100% understand why Canada and other trade nations are looking to realign their trade partners. Who can function when the head of a country is pulling trade wars out of the air on any given day? No warning, honestly no reason... and it starts people scrambling to figure out what they do next.
My big concern for the United states, is who will be left to trade with after we get through the other side of this corrupt administration? New trade alliances are being made now, will anyone be willing to come back?
Charlie forgot the rest of commonwealth they stand with us and they stopped buying American anything but USA 💘💘♥️♥️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇨🇦🇨🇦🇸🇭🇸🇭
Giving a big cheer to our Canadian neighbors. Hopefully Trump's bullying, insulting comments put a wrench in the ambitions of Polievre in thr upcoming Canadian elections.
Kick ass Canada!!!! The orange nazi needs theirs ass beat.
From Australia.Not buying any US products. Eg stainless steel, oranges, whisky or any US liquor.
Americans need to boycott American products, too. Stop buying ANYthing you don’t absolutely need. Fight with your dollars.
Another important action: PROTEST!! Watch: https://youtu.be/Hd5fmytjgiA?si=HjQsjz9Wn10BgtV6
WE MUST PROTEST. 3.5% of the population must PROTEST to make change happen!!
To all You amazing people out there. Come visit Denmark instead. We hate Trump too <3
Grifters like Trump are only motivated by one thing — GREED! If we’re going to prevail in this existential fight we need to take a lesson from Canada’s playbook. Boycott en masse any business that supports Trump, in any form. Hit them hard in their bottom line. (It’s already started to work with Tesla — their sales are dropping like a rock!). Thanks, Canada! Keep sending us good ideas! 🍁
I hope Canada stomps our sorry fascist ass.
I live in Hawai'i. Canadians are the majority of our "snowbirds" are Canadian. I have neighbors who live here half the year in their Hawai'i second homes. We lose the Canadian tourism and second home owners and it tanks our local economy
Trump is destroying the U.S from within and without.
Putin is so pleased. 🤬
Well said Carlie Angus, thanks Ben Meiselas.
Go Canada!!!
... And tell that woman who cancelled her family vacation in Myrtle Beach, who said that the owner said that Trump want his president, that the owner is lying. 70% of voters in Myrtle Beach voted for Trump
That is because they are dumb, stupid, idiots, and brainwashed maga cult who don’t understand facts!
Canada Strong 🇨🇦
The Dragon will be slain by his inner circle. I have cancelled my trips ( 4 ) to the USA 🇺🇸
I can't say it enough, I love this guy!!!
Good for Canadians taking a stand!!!
It seems that you have to be anyone but a republican politician to know how to handle Deadbeat Donnie. He's a insecure, immature spoiled rich brat whose already tanking the economic well-being of what used to be the greatest country in the world. But unfortunately we have a large group of people in our country who have given in to the sirens call of the lowest possible form of humanity and the actual lack of integrity that is the true nature of the far right and people who the GOP used to claim were not welcome in their party. Was it just a myth that they back the blue, the military, public education, USAID soft power and the so-called moral principles that they've always claimed to have? I've always been suspicious about their holier than thou attitudes because their actions never matched their words. They always found a way to short change the veterans, the poor, the public schools, and nobody whines louder about supporting this nation they claim to love so much. The GOP had their chance twice to hold the felonious Orange Buffoon accountable for committing extortion and various other impeachible crimes, but unlike the GOP of the Nixon era they weren't brave enough to tell their base no. They couldn't show the leadership that their base needed to put them back on the right path and reject the idea that there's anything redeemable about Deadbeat Don the Con Drumpf. I guess it's just up to us to keep saying no to these children who can't make the right decisions for themselves and their children. I have one word for the Republicans DISAPPOINTED!
There's a push to do a boycott here on Feb. 28. Don't buy anything from anyone, not gas, not online, not in stores. Make your impact known.
Love our northern neighbors in Canada!!!! Thank you for resisting!
Stay the course, Canada.
I’m an American that has never voted for the felon he is an embarrassment
You cannot trust anything dumpster boy says.
trump looked utterly ridiculous yesterday having nut-case, Elon musk ramble lies for him in the oval office while Elon'd kid was disruptive and picking his nose. UGH! trump was not liking that.
Talk about not having a mind to deconstruct. So sorry to Canada (and Mexico and Gaza and the world) for the ass that trump is. Being the sociopath that he is, he only sees the world one way, and that's his way. Period. Keep fighting against him.
I heard Trump didn't think the younger generations would join into this "Don't Buy American" --guess he is wrong eh!!!!
Why are We The People not in the streets fighting for our Democracy?
Ty Canadians for standing for we the people. We need all the help we can get!
You tell them Charlie ! We will never be a Gilead Country! 🚫🙏🇨🇦❄️🌎
100% tariff on Teslas. Great idea.
As a current resident of Florida in the process of relocating out, I fully support Canadians boycott US, especially Florida!
I love Charlie’s posts, but in his determination to express Canadian feeling, he & any number of Canadian posts neglect to say AMERICANS WELCOME! Americans (& indeed the rest of the world), will always be treated as Canada’s honoured guests. I doubt there are any Canadians who would be less than gracious to an American tourist. We love being host to the world & showing off our wonderful country. But not in a boastful way, eh 😉. But if you come in February or March, I hate to say it, but those winter clothes you bought probably won’t be adequate against a Canadian winter. You will freeze in that puffer coat. A lot of our winter jackets have a temperature rating usually on the price tags. You’ll want something rated for minus 20 to minus 30. Sorry. C’mon up & breathe some unbelievably fresh winter air & drink water from the tap.
Across the pond in the UK I too am avoiding anything from the USA whenever possible.
Thanks Charlie, keep it coming. Buy Canadian wherever you are
OMG. I love this man and I love Canadians. GO CANADA!
Great to hear that Canadians are so united. Keep it up. I think boycotting travel is a good idea because a lot of our GDP is in the services industries which I would imagine include hospitality services. I am in the US and also I am trying to by Canadian (sometimes it is hard) and goods produced in red states.
We are seeing very few Canadian Lic. plates in So. Fl. As compared to years past. Canadians have flew the coop. 😂👍🏼
So stupid coached Donald stopped tourism, retail trade with Canada? That he imposes a threatening tariff on But what if they stop all trade? What's the plan for that stupid Donald? Is it in the 2025 plan? Oh don't read it just ask the author? You know Russel Vogt Donny? you are affecting all of us you stupid stupid Fool!!
Charlie tells it exactly how I feel and I love every response to Ben. True North!
Ben, this is the greatest and gives me hope. You make me cry. Thank you so much.
American here standing with Canadians boycott against trump 👍
I love Charlie and the Canadian attitude! Wish we could get Americans to boycott products; that might send a message to the corporations.
Go Canada!!!
& Thank you, Charlie
I'm an American and am 💯 for Canada! Stand your ground and don't take 🍊🤡s bs!!! Boycott, boycott, boycott, just like we're boycotting Companies here who bent over in subservience to that idiot.
We love Charlie.
Can we please do something internationally to stop these fascists??? Is there some sort of international law we can use? They are liars and criminals! Let's put them where they belong!!
There’s also the commonwealth that is standing up with us and they stopped buying American as well that’s Australia 🇦🇺 New Zealand 🇳🇿 too not meaning to hurt the people but we need trump smarten up 💘💘♥️♥️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Canadian MP Angus I love you for standing up to our Bully and Chief. That is more than we can say for our spineless Republican Congress that Bow Down and Kiss The Ring daily. They have sold out the American people. Can I move to Canada? : (
We are all Canadians now
A buying group, Made in Canada, has 870,000 members who are working to source products and vendors that are Canadian-made. Discussion of travel to the US canceled, homes being sold. From the border down to FL this will be big.
Love the way Canadians are handling the Felon. Thanks to Canada, maybe we can get rid of this garbage.
bravo to MP Angus. I've been waiting for a foreign leader to speak up. I'm embarrassed to be an American. I did not vote for Trump. please forgive half of America. I'm hoping to secede from US and join Canada.
Hello -- Love what you are doing. But PLEASE a little less about Trump's missteps (good to do) but a little more light shone on the GOP ENABLERS who stand by while America is being SOLD to Putin. Maybe 3 minutes every day on one of them -- and what they have voted for and who they really are. Once Musk takes away the power of Senate, he will come AFTER THEM. Let's remind them!
Red States -- contact your representatives and let them know that you are watching what they do.
Thank you to our friends in Canada for standing up for us & applying the pressure that our leaders seem to be afraid to exert right now. Please know that the majority of us hate what’s happening in our country & are resisting as strongly as you are!
As a Floridian I applaud Canadians tourism boycott.
Trump is driving so many people away. We'll expirience a brain drain which discourages people from coming here to study or do research. Trump threw open the door to white South Africans to immigrate and they said "why?" Those holding Trump-arranged visas (which Trump says shouldn't exist) can come to 0
Thank you Charlie, I wish the American people were as strong as your people are. We should be boycotting all products and services provided by all the rich puppets that are backing DT. You get their attention when you hit them in the pocketbook. Only way they will listen.
I've said it before & saying it again. We grew up 7 miles from the Canadian border (New Brunswick) & have relatives there & adore Canadians. Beautiful, kind, strong people. My husband's dad was born there.
Thank you once again Charlie Angus for saying it like it is, fighting like hell for your awesome country. I can hardly wait for the downfall of the crazy lunatic Trump. 🤡👹
As I’m SURE we, as Americans with 1/2 a brain, salute you Canada in your resolve! Please don’t EVER bend in the slightest, you are lucky to have that choice. We, on the other hand , are STUCK with the orange fecal stain whose damage will go on well beyond the 4 years of the living nightmare we have to endure . I hope, once sanity returns to the American people, that you can see your way clear to be our friends again! I pray we can ask that of EVERY country he will have insulted, stole money or critical supplies from, or just generally fu****d over. He wants to be King and the USA will never be big enough for his over bloated giant ego. He wants to be as Leonardo DeCaprio said “ King of the WORLD “ ! Stay strong Canada and please know that when he backs down and says it was you who caved, WE know better and only the MAGA brain dead zombies will be the ones who believe him and I wouldnt worry to much about that at all ! LOL
awesome thanks Ben and Charlie ...sorry eh, but we Canadians punch way above our weight . eh?
I stand with you, Canada. I'm sorry that you are being harassed and attacked by our pathetic, petty, ignorant and narcissistic president. There are 180+ billion Americans who care deeply about you.
People that voted for Trump. He does not care about you. You will all suffer the same tarrifs, lose business with Canada and Mexico, lose those federal jobs, suffer higher prices, lose your secure information, run over our USConstitution, lose your personal rights to diversity, etc. He has joined us all together in the loss of our freedoms. Pay attention.
Perplexing isn't it. They don't realize they are going to be collateral damage along with everyone else. 🙄
Well said on the Real Threat recognized by Canada & Europe, our Democratic brethren... & of course there are many more Democracies who also see clearly... Let us hope that SLAP comes sooner & continues... Slapping him down... into that dark hole he lives in...
I want to thank all of the ass holes who voted for Trump! Where are cheap eggs, groceries and gasoline you promised? Instead look what Canada is doing to our country and others will follow! We depend on other countries for their goods and services wait till you need something made with steel or aluminum when you pay at least 25-50% more! You all got gaslit
#GOCANADA KEEP UP WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
Thank you, Mr. Angus, for calling out the fascist bully as the fascist bully that Trump is!
Members of the US Congress: Listen to and emulate MP Charlie Angus in our fight against the fascist takeover of our country!
Preserve our Constitution and rule of law!
Melanie is hot for Trudeau that’s why he’s mad🤣🤣🤣
Yay Canada! Best news I've heard all week. We need to do that HERE! I hope the loss of Canadian dollars bankrupts every American business that ever counted on their money.
But that’s the lesson that the convict needs to learn… yes we will suffer but Canada I am with you!! This American is boycotting what she can!!
Go Charlie Angus !! Thank you
Thank You Canada!!!! We love and appreciate your support in our opposition to the orange shit stain on American history!!!! KEEP IT UP!😘
MP Angus…a man you can love 💕
I'm with Canada 🇨🇦 💙
i hear a few days ago (not shure if its right) :
if Canada will be the 51 State, it will be a blue state.
With 60 seats in the goverment :-)
than USA have for shure a blue goverment for ever :-)
I hope Canada 🇨🇦 is standing hard with your tariffs and not getting soft!!!!
Does anyone know how much filler Elon Musk has in his fake face?
Is there any scenario in which Canada would accept American immigrants?
Asking for a friend...and my family!
Im not afraid to admit this is scary and unprecedented.
This week is pivotal . The worst case scenario martial law .
THANK YOU CHARLIE (& BEN)! Enjoy some Canadian national fervor: Check out the Arrogant Worms! These guys have been doing Canadian patriotism for decades, with cheeky, good-humoured snarkiness.
Their website is easy to find (it's nicknamed the Wormsite). Just search "The Arrogant Worms" or if ya hafta, try arrogantworms [dot] com. On their music tab, you can support them by buying their music, or stream it (free) from their website. But seriously, after all these years of faithful standing on guard, they deserve some recognition. (Be patient: the music page loads slowly -- don't immediately click on the Bandcamp link. [DISCLAIMER: I am NOT an agent of the Worms. I've never even had the privilege of seeing them live. I'm just tres canadien.)
Some of my fav songs are We are the Beaver; If Canada Ruled the World; Canada is Really Big; I am not American (all in the Completely Canadian Compilation). For their War of 1812, you have to check them out on YouTube (live in Seattle).
Here's an idea: Maybe MTN could interview the Wormsfor their take on the drumpf situtation??? Maybe commission a tune?
Ben, you've tossed around the idea of expanding MTN -- if you ever want to move into television production, we have a model for you here in British Columbia, Canada. Our own CHEK tv is the ONLY employee owned, independent commercial TV station in North America. When their corporate owners decided to ditch the station for bottom-line reasons, the employees did what? They resisted. They pulled together. They pulled off what was thought to be impossible, and pulled together the resources, the legal factors, and the paperwork to beat what seemed like an impossible deadline. You can read their story here:
https://cheknews.ca/about-us/
It can be done in Canada -- I dunno about in the USA. I'm sure I am not alone in saying MTN is welcome here.
The CHEK model drew a lot from the South American movement for workers to take over factories abandoned by American corporate interests.
We are Canadians. We are world citizens
We are proud. We are allies with our friends.
We are enemies of our foes.
🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇲🇽🇬🇧🇦🇺🇩🇪🇪🇺☮️
Canada is his Austria
How do we help Canada keep helping us
Thank you
Support Canada!!!
I hope 🙏 some republicans will stand up for democracy and impeach trump, also use the 25th amendment! 😉😁
I think the Trumpster is trying to get Canada to fire the first shot, so that he can send in the US troops with guns blazing.
Love you Canada (me from USA)
AWESOME!
Trumpf does not read and if he did it would be scary! You can't fix stupid 🤔🤔🍔🍔🤣🤣
More feel-good news from our wonderful neighbor to the north! ♥️♥️♥️
Fabulous interview! Thank you. I'm with Charlie. I love being a Canadian, and feel blessed to be one.
Is Trump as clueless about our broken healthcare system as he sounds, or is he just lying again?
Excellent, please keep it up Mr. Angus and all of Canada, (and the world)
Thank you for being our voice, again, Charlie!! Much love from Southwestern, ON! <3
Some are speculating the boycotts will not last, but I have faith Canadians will remain united and show their strength against humpty dumpty! Go, Canada!!!
Great job, Canada! Maybe you should declare the U.S. a Canadian province!
Do you hear the people roar
Singing the songs of angry men
It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart echos the beating of the drums.......
Loved his fight and resolve in this. We support Canada 1000%
Keep on Rockin' Mayor Ben, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍🇺🇸
A 5 minute radio address by US President Ronald Reagan on trade and tariffs.
Too bad Trump and his cronies skipped history class!

ITS BLACKMAIL PLAIN AND SIMPLE 🤬 it's not complicated this is what the orange dictator has done his entire life. He's doing the same thing in Gaza threatening to cut off aid to Egypt 🇪🇬 and Jordan 🇯🇴 unless they take in 2 plus million people 🙄 and he said quote "I'll own it" there's no difference between Putin invading Ukraine with force or the orange Hitler Wannabe throwing around tariffs based on pure lies to try and "absorb Canada" well my country Canada 🇨🇦 is united behind our sovereign land so go fuck yourself you old decrepit liar/fraudster/rapist sexual predator dictator in chief 🖕we're gonna go toe to toe with your pathetic maggot cult members 😉 and we'll see who is better off and who won after your government falls and crashes
As I understand it all the ideas are in his head, they are a fantasy. Narcissists internalize everything. People they interact with are snapshots in their mind, they see the snapshot not the person. He owns all the countries etc. he's talked about and who knows what else in his internal world and I guarantee he has a shared fantasy with someone, maybe his new bro. If he wasn't such a ratbasterdge. I'd say he's an unwell elderly man that is being manipulated and abused by those around him to further their cruel and unusual form of wielding power. But that's just an opinion from a 2nd class citizen(girl) in this shiny new administration.
Way to go canada we Americans 💯 support you and stand with you 👏 I don't even want to shop or live here.
Thanks Charlie! Keep it coming!
Thank you, Canada, Mexico & all other countries that are ready to stand against the bully, rump! I salute you!
How do I share this to Facebook groups?😳
Thank you, Charlie Angus! We love hearing your straight talk!
Thank you Canada!!!
Do we all realize Why the felon wants to buy Greenland? Because there's a nuclear power plant there that's basically secret. It's the last vestige of American democracy protecting itself from Russia in the Cold War. Gee I wonder why the felon would want to get a hold of that for his good buddy Putin the Penis.
https://apple.news/A_kW8BjhkSEiIOGQh5t3seQ
think I'm going to have to pull out my old board game of Risk to better understand the basic strategy here. He is targeting Mexico & Canada. We are like sandwich in peril. The meat in the sandwich is us. He's following the Nazi military playbook.
Hey lets go see what Stupid Donald did today? Enough already. Really!! He is a toxic piece of corrupt self centered slime!!
Will Canadians let U.S.
never trumpets in?
Donal, Donald Donald!!! You simple minded grifting clown!! Who's telling you to do this one Don? You're too stupid you have hotels and golf clubs that used to host Canadians? Florida Tourism is taking a hit their Crime Boss!! How do you feel about that? Who ya gonna blame this time you simple minded fool!!
Following you from Canada !
Stopped watching MSM right after November 5th !
I’ve cancelled Amazon, small part of my protest.
I’m not buying American products !
Question for you … how many Americans would like to join Canada ?
Has anyone asked the question ?
We have our problems, but certainly not to the extent of what your orange felon is creating !
He wants .. and wants and wants… anyone going to stop this madness ?
Happy to be following you, and Thank you for keeping us informed !
I am a proud Canadian and have been been watching/listening to the MTN for a while now. I have long since given up on legacy media.
I live about 40 minutes from the Canada/US border. The closest relatively major Canadian city is an 8 hour drive but the closest in the US is only just over 3 hours away.
I loved (note the past tense) going to the US to shop, dine, go to the theatre/concerts/sporting events.
I had (note the past tense) two more trips to the US already planned this year, event tickets already purchased. And I’m sure there would have been several more.
I will not be going.
Not this year and likely not next either.
Maybe the 2026 midterms will help get the US back in the sane lane, maybe not until the next presidential election in 2028 (if there is one?)
I can’t support, with my hard earned money, a country that has an elected leader hellbent on destroying the US constitution and a belief that the world is his play thing to either buy or destroy.
And I will do everything in my power to try to persuade those in my sphere of influence to do the same.
Thank you, MTN, for simply being and for giving voice to not just the hopeful uprising in your nation but mine as well.
Go Canada 🇨🇦 and other countries around the world! If our elected officials (Congress) won’t stand up and take back their Constitutional power, we as Americans need your help! NEVER back down to a bully!!
