The Globe and Mail in its Thursday edition is introducing the Bye, America plan for your spending in 2025. The Globe's Rob Carrick writes that when deciding on what to spend your money on and where, take a pass on the United States if it proceeds with tariffs on Canadian exports. Boycotting the U.S. until it takes tariffs off the table is a way of pushing back, and maybe saving money. Travelling in Canada instead of the U.S. right now saves you about 40 cents per dollar and it helps support our economy in trying times. The Bye, America plan means finding alternatives for U.S. products you normally buy. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has shown some leadership here by saying he has asked provincially run liquor stores to clear U.S. booze off the shelves if tariffs are introduced. He singled out bourbon -- American whisky. Mr. Carrick loves bourbon, but says he will be looking in Ontario liquor stores for Canadian whisky alternatives, including Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye. You can make choices on a spot basis: Perhaps CBC Gem over Netflix? Stop rolling your eyes and give it a try, Mr. Carrick says. He admits, however, that there is no point in dumping American stocks; they are needed for a well-diversified portfolio.
