“Canadians are preparing to create a retail blackout on Feb 28 of all U.S retailers doing business here 9 (in Canada). For one day, show them we have the power when provoked. Absolutely no purchases from Walmart, Home Depot, Best Buy, Amazon, McDonald’s, Staples, Gap, Toys r Us , Costco or any other US retailers. For one day, support only small or large CANADIAN or MEXICAN producers and companies. It’s time to STAND UP for ourselves. BE STRONG AND BE PROUD. Spread the word!”
Imagine if, for just one day, Canadians chose not to spend a single dollar at U.S.-owned retailers operating in the country. What kind of impact would that have? Would it send a strong message, shake up the economy, or fizzle out as a symbolic gesture?
Three days until we find out!
