Advocacy and Activism

  1. Contact Elected Officials: Write letters, make phone calls, or send emails to your local MP, the Prime Minister, and other government representatives. Urge them to take strong, strategic actions to protect Canadian industries and workers affected by the tariffs.

  2. Raise Awareness on Social Media: Use platforms like Bluesky, Facebook, and Instagram to share information about the impact of tariffs on Canadian industries. Use hashtags like #ByeAmerican #BuyCanadian, #TradeWar, and #StandWithCanada to amplify your message.

  3. Stop Using US Services - Cancel Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney +, and other American services. Ensure you let them know why you're cancelling if asked.

  4. Join or Support Advocacy Groups: Participate in or donate to organizations like the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, or local trade associations that are actively working to address trade issues.

  5. Attend Rallies and Protests: Join public demonstrations or rallies organized by labor unions, industry groups, or community organizations to show solidarity and demand action from the government.

  6. Write Op-Eds or Letters to the Editor: Submit opinion pieces or letters to local newspapers and online publications to educate others about the impact of tariffs and advocate for policy changes.

  7. Educate Yourself and Others: Stay informed about the trade war and its implications for Canada. Share reliable information with friends, family, and colleagues to build a more informed and engaged public.

  8. Promote Diversification of Trade: Advocate for policies that reduce Canada's dependence on the U.S. market by encouraging trade diversification with other countries, such as those in the European Union, Asia, or Latin America.

  9. Engage in Grassroots Campaigns: Organize or participate in community events, such as town halls or workshops, to discuss the impact of tariffs and brainstorm local solutions. Encourage your community to take collective action.

By taking these steps, Canadians can collectively push back against the negative effects of Trump's tariffs and advocate for policies that protect and strengthen Canada's economy.
