Blame America.
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,
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.
Trudeau acknowledged the support of individual Canadians during an event at Parliament earlier this week.
“There’s a bit of a patriotic boost going on these past few days,” he said.
Trump and Trudeau are locked in a tiff over tariffs after the president last week said he would impose penalties on steel and aluminum 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.”
Trump heard the remarks as he flew in Air Force One to his summit in Singapore with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and withdrew from a statement issued by the G7 on trade.
He also blasted Trudeau in a tweet, calling him “very dishonest & weak.” Filed under canada , donald trump , justin trudeau , vacations

Give me a break. Canad is nothing more than a pimple on our ass......I say we should pop it.
But will Canadian manufacturers be able to supply the fake eyebrows their soy boy prime minister wears?
Hmmmm.....Sounds like great short sales of Florida vacation property coming
Sorry been around Canadians my entire life, once you get outside of quebec they are as salt of the earth as you are going to find.....
Unfortunately Quebec is about 25% of the total countries population, so everything nationally gets skewed. Quebec and Ontario are over 1/2 the nations population.
Canada is like my BIL, fat lazy and kind of stupid.
They have the resources to be our natural world competitor on every front but, they have been suckling off us for more than a century and they don’t know how to do that.
It’s time for Canada to grow up.
Now if we could just get their actors and singers to leave.
:)
Stay home, eh?
Yep. The massive hospital complexes along our northern borders cater to Canadians. The one in Grand Forks, North Dakota, was typical as you could cruise through the parking lot any day of the week and a vast majority of vehicle license plates were Canadian.
It would hurt those hospitals but I would love to see the Canadian reaction if we stopped them from using our medical services.
"Men With Brooms"
Check it out.
Not only do they come for cheap and prompt health care but for cheap gas and beer as well.
Got to hand it to Trump, he delivers.
MAGA!
As a bonus he got rid of the snowbirds as well!

Agreed. Nova Scotia is a lovely place to visit, too.
I was stationed in Grand Forks, ND for over seven years and the Canadians flooded the city to shop and get their medical care. I cannot remember one Canadian that was not friendly or would not strike up a good conversation.
Of course, like you pointed out, they were almost all from Manitoba and polluted by Ontario or Quebec.
YAY!
Have they stopped coming here for healthcare too?
I can’t think of any movies.
There was the very funny Due South series.
Actually a lot of our films here are shot in Canada because it’s cheaper and the union laws aren’t as strict.
Should have typed:
they were almost all from Manitoba and not polluted by Ontario or Quebec.
We have a lot a Canadian FReepers...
Who have produced what? Nothing. Canada is and has always been a leftist sh@@hole. We don't need them.
Didn’t a Trump type guy win Ontario governorship or whatever they call it in Canada?
I can’t blame production companies wanting to keep unions down or out.
