Ayo Edebiri revealed on her Instagram story that she got “insane death threats” because of Elon Musk. The X owner shared a fake report in February 2024 claiming Disney was considering Edebiri as a replacement for Johnny Depp in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. Musk reacted to the report by writing: “Disney sucks.”
Ayo Edebiri Got Death Threats After Elon Musk Shared Pirates Rumor
In Canada, where the American national anthem has been booed during hockey matches with US teams, a slew of apps has emerged with names such as “buy beaver”, “maple scan” and “is this Canadian” to allow shoppers to scan QR barcodes and reject US produce from alcohol to pizza toppings.
Figures released this week suggested the number of Canadians taking road trips to the US – representing the majority of Canadians who normally visit – had dropped by 23% compared with February 2024, according to Statistics Canada.
In Sweden, about 40,000 users have joined a Facebook group calling for a boycott of US companies – ironically including Facebook itself – which features alternatives to US consumer products.
In Denmark, where there has been widespread anger over Trump’s threat to bring the autonomous territory of Greenland under US control, the largest grocery company, the Salling group, has said it will tag European-made goods with a black star to allow consumers to choose them over products made in the US.
More striking, perhaps, is the decision by companies to cut ties with the US. Norway’s largest oil bunkering operation, the privately owned Haltbakk, recently announced a boycott of its occasional supplying of fuel to US navy ships.
‘I Feel Utter Anger’: From Canada to Europe, a Movement to Boycott Us Goods Is Spreading
Canadian opinion of the United States has fallen so far so fast that it is driving a historic “realignment” of which countries Canadians see as their main allies, a new survey suggests.
The European Union and United Kingdom have quickly emerged as the countries Canadians feel best about, just by staying positively viewed by about three-quarters of Canadians, as usual.
Almost two-thirds (63 per cent) say U.S. President Donald Trump’s “expressed interest to make Canada the 51st American State” must be taken “very seriously,” and a slim majority of respondents to the new survey say they are personally willing to defend Canada from a military threat.
“In 25 years of polling I don’t recall it ever being this low. And to see the United States viewed only a little more positive than say China, with whom we’ve had problems, shows how much damage has been done to a relationship with a country that has long seen us as its closest ally,” he said.
The survey tracked positive opinions of different countries from June of last year to today, and the only one to change significantly was the American number, from 52 per cent to 33.
