As far as I understand, Canada and the EUs' prospective counter tariffs are fairly surgical in that they will take aim disproportionately at red states.

In terms of vacationing in the US. Your airlines, hotel chains, restaurant chains etc. all pay federal taxes. Therefore , spending money anywhere in the US, with few exceptions, is Canadian money in Trump's war chest. With that in mind, a general boycott makes logical sense.

The same goes for Costco Canada, Walmart Canada etc, of course. Multinationals all more or less repatriate their profits or franchise/licencing fees back to Mordor.
