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

Meh.
When the short Canadian summer ends, then watch them.
Should be able to get some screaming deals in Florida this winter.
So, why should we care? They are a drop in the bucked for our economy. In the bigger picture, we need fair trade.
I’m sure they won’t be boycotting American doctors........
Until they need health care.
Great news! Maybe Florida won’t be inundated with obnoxious Canadians this coming winter.
What was the last big movie made by Canadians?
You hockey pucks call all stay home in your frozen wasteland. If I never see another snowbird again it will be fine. Stay home and paste your girly boy fake eyebrows on and pose in some clown costume like your PM.
A few less canucks coming to Florida this winter?
Florida waiters and waitresses will be happy the poor tippers won’t be here
They won’t be boycotting American cheese products either, there had to be a reason why the Canadian givernment wanted a 250+% tarriff on it.
Woohoo! Fewer Canucks clogging Florida freeways this coming snowbird season. And as a double bonus, the tukehead hosers will be hurting leftist companies like ABC/DISNEY and Starbucks.
This is from the NY Post and you really believe this is the truth about what all, most, some or a few Canadians the reported found to write the story.
LOL
Brrrr. Canada.
Was it a gay love story, with very high taxes and no guns?
Interesting they don’t want to come south for their vacations and don’t want illegals coming north. Well, the Canadians can go enjoy world class, warm Canadian beaches this summer. Sounds like a great alternative.........
Scores of shoppers and travellers are mounting strikes against America’s pocketbook by boycotting U.S. goods and trips to the States
“The extent to which Canadians are willing to do without American products has yet to be seen.”
I can’t think of any movies.
There was the very funny Due South series.
