A Canadian comedian announces a quarterly boycott reminder series, urging people to stop buying American goods. Over half of Canadians are already buying less from Amazon, flights to the U.S. dropped 75% in March, and road trips south fell by 1.3 million in two months. He points to Canadian factories in Ontario, Quebec, and the Prairies as alternatives.

Okay, this video is only for Canadians, but Americans, I don't want you to feel left out, so I search for things that I think you might want to watch and it's like down there. I hope I got it right. I'm not really that familiar with your culture. Godspeed. Okay, Canadians, 3 months ago I made this video. Every 3 months until the day I die, I will post a reminder on this channel, a little video reminding you to not buy American products. It's already in my calendar. Every 3 months until the day I die. Well, I'm back. Like glitter at a kid's party, you thought I was gone, buddy? I'll never be gone. Now I know what you're thinking. Come on, what's the harm in picking up a little something from the US? Amazon this, a bit of Walmart that. What's the big deal? Here's the big deal: every time you buy American, a beaver sheds a tear. That has been fact-checked. The fact is, comrades, our boycott of America is working. More than half of Canadians are buying less from Amazon. Flights to the US dropped 75% in March. Delta and United are already slashing cross-border routes. Road trips south of the border down 1.3 million in just 2 months. The US is projected to lose $12.5 billion from the drop in tourism alone. Meanwhile, our produce sections are full of vegetables from Chile, Mexico, and Peru, and Greece, and— China! We've spent decades complaining that we don't make enough here, that our industries are shrinking, that we've become a branch plant economy. Well, guess what? This Now is the moment to turn that around. We've got manufacturers in Ontario ready to scale, factories in Quebec, food processors in the Prairies who just need us to choose them instead of whatever shrink-wrapped produce California is shipping in a panic. It's working. Don't stop. Stay petty. Elbows up. See you in 3 months. So pick me. Choose me. Love me.
