Emotional responses can be good or bad. I can’t control mine. I cry a lot even when people instruct me not to…(?) But that’s why you have a group of people in a room. Think it through. Is banning orange juice truly going to make your life better, or is it a political display?
Don’t get into an economic war with the USA. Wait this out and build infrastructure to expand your options. Punishing Canadian consumers because Donald Trump is crazy is crazy itself.

Are you still fooling yourself into thinking there was ever a way to avoid this? ffs this has nothing to do with drugs or migrants, this is Trumps plan to pay for the US government while dropping income tax by tariff income (essentially a US wide sales tax which of course hurts the low income folks worst), is it nuts and will it tank the global economy? of course but he is looking for a reason to put tariffs on every country in the world and there was never any way to avoid it
