>>Honestly, I don't think a consumer-level boycott of China is gonna change a lot. The US are 300 million. Canada is 37 million. China is well into eight figures. It would be like Egypt boycotting the US. And they've got over a billion people in India who want their stuff sitting right on their doorstep, no ocean required.<<

I think you're right. It would be a tiny drop in the bucket, and probably nowhere even close to how effective a Terramagne boycott would be. Perhaps, then, I will focus on buying local as much as possible; supporting local economy rather than specifically boycotting anyone. Then, if I need something that I can't get local, I can choose which foreign supplier I want it from.

This sounds like a very reasonable goal, I'm on board with it.
