Should Canadians sell their US stocks to stand against the trade war?

Yeah, you should sell out now. Once the inevitable economic crisis occurs, you should then buy the dip.

Your own individual stock ownership is a drop in the bucket compared to larger wealth management firms. If you feel like it's a moral obligation, go for it, but it won't impact the American economy any harder than Trump already will. You're a pebble against an avalanche.

Every country that holds US bonds should cash out their US bonds, think that would leave a mark?

It would be the equivalent of a global bank run. It would be a significant event, but if your only goal is causing the U.S. further economic damage, I think the best way is contacting your local democratically elected representative and recommending more and harsher retaliatory tariffs.

We have adults in charge that know how to deal with Trump, they got this. They will be smart about dealing with someone who breaks deals regularly
