Canadians boycotting American goods and cancelling vacations to US

The Canadian people are choosing sides in the trade war with President Trump by boycotting American goods and cancelling vacations to the United States. Shoppers are shunning Kentucky bourbon, California wine and Florida oranges. Customers and avoiding American companies like Starbucks, Walmart and McDonald’s, said Canadian network CTV News on Wednesday.



An Ottawa man posted a “Trump-free grocery cart” full of products from Canada or from “countries with strong leadership”. Vacationers said they would be staying up north this summer instead of booking trips to the US. One Twitter user called on “Patriotic Americans” to schedule vacations in Canada and increase their purchases of Canadian goods.

Trump and Trudeau are locked in a tiff over tariffs after the president last week said he would impose penalties on steel and aluminium imports. The squabble escalated over the weekend at the G7 meeting of economic powers in Quebec when Trudeau said in a news conference that Canada would not be “pushed around” by the US and called the tariffs “insulting.”

According to nypost.com, Trump heard the remarks as he flew in Air Force One to his summit in Singapore, and he was not amused.
