We've been following the tariff threats and Canada's response along with the conversation surrounding it. I will admit it's a bit weird being on holiday surrounded by Americans during this time.
I thought I'd share the links to a number of the folks/sites we've been reading and listening to - in case anyone is interested and/or has any suggestions for us.
We've also decided to double down on our commitment to boycott the US as one small way we can support our country. We plan to review all of our streaming services and origin of everything else during our next sea day. Most of them we've already cancelled, some were prepaid so we need to decide what to do with those. We've also decided to stay within Canada for the remainder of 2026 and 2027.
Very proud of Canada's stand and the way Prime Minister Carney has handled this situation.
If you read nothing else Dean Blundell's column explains what, in fact, the US tried to include in the proposed agreement that caused us to walk away (I understand it likely wasn't the only thing).
