Even IF tariffs were reversed, is your hatred of the US irreversible?

I’m curious where others’ thoughts are at. What if, in a nearly unimaginable turn around, trump backed down from the tariffs pretty quickly. Of course I don’t see this happening. But if it did, I don’t see myself ever buying American products or visiting the united states in any foreseeable future. That country is dead to me. Am I overreacting? I know that not all Americans support what he is doing, but I can’t see my money ever funding the delusional media disinformation machine they have created. I simply can’t get over the lies that Fox News and Trump are saying, and the comments I am reading from their supporters. This is irreversible damage.

EDIT: Well, there it is. The orange toad has already backed down… for 30 days.

I’ve read most of the replies. Emotions are running high, and I see most are angry like myself. I do want to thank a few of the more level headed responses from Canadians, Americans, and friends from around the world.

Hate is a strong word. I don’t hate the American people. In fact, I like most of them quite a lot. Many voted against this, and I thank you. And I feel sorry for those that have fallen on hard times and been indoctrinated by the lies. But, I do hate what has become of the country. America was far from perfect, but I always respected what it stood for and I always supported them as our friend, ally, and neighbour. But, the rhetoric thrown our way by the orange toad is a change in course that will shape our relationship for many years to come.

As many have pointed out, it’s not even the tariffs that have angered us, it’s the lies and threats of annexation. To refer to us as the 51st state is something Canada won’t forgive for a long time. There’s no coming back.

I hope this is a wake up call for all us Canadians to buy Canadian, diversify our exports with more stable friends, build infrastructure and pipelines to supply other nations, and build a stronger army.

They have proven to be unreliable, unstable, and untruthful. Time to move on. Let’s go 🇨🇦
