Claims that rest on this event

• ContextMechanism

  Canadians' rally against the US shows in behaviour, not just polls: return trips from the US fell 25.4% in 2025 (all modes; car trips were still 27% below 2024 in August 2026), spending on US visits fell by C$3.3 billion, boycotts spread, and two premiers called snap elections citing the US threat. This shows the effect, not what caused it.

  Angus Reid, February 2025: 'very proud' to be Canadian rose from 34% to 44% in two months. The poll side of the rally; the claim rests on behaviour.
