   I'm convinced that everything Trump does is a good thing. I keep hearing all   
   these warnings about him, but nothing he does ever seems to hurt.   
      
    RM> It is already costing your small businesses Billions of dollars.   
    RM> Canadians have already cut vacations and shopping trips down there   
    RM> by 500,000 fewer than normal for this time of year. How much money   
    RM> would half a million tourists spend there in a month and what is   
    RM> that doing to hotels and restaurants and retailers?   
      
   These numbers sound like they are highly manipulatable. It could all be based   
   on a survey that was taken on 10 Canadians from the streets of Vancouver.   
      
    RM> I feel bad when I see American tourists up here who, almost the   
    RM> first thing they say is they are sorry for what Trump is doing   
    RM> to us. It's not the American people's fault and we know that but   
    RM> to fight back we can really only do the small stuff that hurts   
    RM> the ordinary people down there. Thousands of American products   
    RM> have been removed from the store shelves here and a lot of people   
    RM> refuse to buy the ones that are still left.   
      
   I don't understand why they would act that way. I don't think anyone here is   
   refusing to buy Canadian stuff. I know for a fact that I'm buying Canadian   
   electric every month. Some people get way too stirred-up from things they've   
   seen or heard on TV. All the "problems" with Trump's tariffs are still just   
   predictions (as far as I can see.)
