Canadians boycott US products, cancel vacations to America
2018-06-15
[NY Post] Canadians have taken to practicing pocketbook diplomacy in defense of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is caught in a trade war of words with President Trump, by boycotting American goods and canceling vacations to the United States, according to a report.

Shoppers are shunning Kentucky bourbon, California wine and Florida oranges, and avoiding American companies like Starbucks, Walmart and McDonald’s, Canadian network CTV News reported on Wednesday.

On Twitter, hashtags like #BuyCanadian, #BoycottUSProducts and #BoycottUSA are spreading as outrage over Trump’s trade tariffs grows.

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.

"F​‐k​ you Trump. We just booked a $3,000 vacation to beautiful British Columbia. Happy anniversary to us. #Canadastrong #BuyCanadian #F***Tariffs," tweeted ​Supreme Leader Lyna.

#15  America is simply less exposed to the world market than any other country. We can take this just fine. It's a temper tantrum from a child who is being told to act like a mature adult.

Good. Means prices will be lower here - more supply, less cost.
