In November of 2024, when Donald Trump first started threatening tariffs, I made a prediction. I said, “I’m not a political person, but if he goes through with this, I will become political.”

Prior to this unprovoked attack, I think I didn’t really know how I felt about Canada. I didn’t know I loved Canada until Donald Trump started threatening Canada.

When I realized that we were under attack, I immediately began to do my part to fight for Canada.

Since I have a lot of experience with retail boycotts, sharing my boycott playbook with others seemed to be the best way to help.

Over the last few months, I have shared several resources to show Canadians how to strategically boycott specific American products.

I selected products that are not produced in Canada and would have the minimal effect on Canadian jobs.

I got the word out to the best of my ability. I even briefly pretended I don’t despise social media.

There is some debate going on right now about whether retaliatory tariffs are the right way to go.

I don’t have any expertise in that area. I know something about retail boycotts. So I fought and encouraged others to fight in the way that I know works.

I know that if every Canadian started pretending American products didn’t exist, it would have an effect.

Over the last few months, I have also written about my concerns about paying this much attention to a narcissist. This feels very uncomfortable. I hate paying attention to Trump as much as I hate the tariffs.

Economically speaking, we can’t ignore him.

But something really bothers me about writing about him.

I have tried to focus my articles on the issue itself. However, once in a while I have written something about him specifically.

I just can’t do it anymore.

Leading up to the election I saw pundits blowing a gasket on a daily basis over the possibility of him being elected.

I never dreamed I would be joining them.

Vile and disgusting behavior warrants a response.

But I’m not wired to write daily about someone so evil.

I don’t feel right about it and can’t bring myself to do it anymore.

Writing about Trump is yucky, icky, and gross. Paying attention to him feels like accepting an invitation to Satan’s birthday party.

It feels strange, it feels weird and it feels wrong.

By that I mean, wrong for me.

It doesn’t mean I believe that you should turn a bind eye to evil.

I know that there are 8 billion people on the planet. I can step aside, because if I do nothing, there will be seven billion other people yelling at Donald Trump on a daily basis.

I think I will take a break .

I will continue to update the timeline.

I will also write about it again if he resigns or if he is removed from office.

In the meantime, I can’t spend another moment writing articles about the man in the white house.

Yucky. Icky. Yuck. Yuck.
