Navigating the Canada-US Trade War with Grace

  • April 01, 2025
The Canada-US trade war is making many of us rethink where we spend our money—but let’s be honest, no one is going to get this 100% right. And that’s okay.
 
In this episode of REAL TALK, we’re diving into:
 
✅ How to shift our buying habits without guilt or pressure.
 
✅ Why progress matters more than perfection—because shaming doesn’t help.
 
✅ The difference between ethical boycotts and harmful hostility—protesting Elon Musk is one thing, but attacking people who own his products? That’s not the move.
 
This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about making better choices while supporting each other. Let’s talk about how we navigate this together with grace, practicality, and community.
 
Watch now & join the conversation! Drop a comment below—are you changing your buying habits? What challenges are you facing?
