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

Canadians cancel vacations to America, Yea!
They can all vacation in Cuba like they usually do.
Bye Canadians!!! Stay where you are.Thanks, ok, bye.
Sorry to hear this.
I trust the Canadians to be our friends.
Oh, what about the economic impact?
Gnat on an elephants butt.

So they can tariff USA products but we can’t reciprocate back? Scrooge them and buy American instead. Canada elected its golden fag boy and so they can reap his wonders. Si vous plait.
Yeah? Well, wait for winter.
The irony is that Canadians buying Canadian and taking their vacation in Canada will have to admit that it is due to Trump that the Canadian economy is improving. LOL!!!
Does that mean they are going to stop coming to America for the medical treatment their socialist country can’t provide?
Wait. You mean fewer rude, bad-driving Quebecois at the Jersey shore this summer? How will we survive?
And fewer fat ones in their speedos at FL beaches, drinking up American beer while they complain about how bad it is.
Well I’m about 3 hours from the Canuk boarder. I never think about entering that socialist country and I do not buy Canuk products. Stay in your country and I’ll stay happy and satisfied in mine. There is nothing manufactured in Canukland I need or want.
Boycott Starbucks McDonald’s and Walmart? Sounds like a bunch of Freepers to me.
This is a yawner.
So what!?!
THEY voted for THEIR choice of nutless mohammedan loving politicians, including skinny-suited-eyebrow falling soyboy himself!
“Canadians boycott US products, cancel vacations to America”
Give a $%^t, give a $%^t! We’ll do fine without them.
I like this game.so I’ll play too.
Gee, guess NO one will be coming HERE anymore for any Medical treatments.
Only thing is that since the Pols & Lawyers etal have made it almost an impossibility for Americans to pay the high insurance premiums, guess we better ‘hope’ all the Drs don’t go home with them....(HA HA)
BOScare will take care of that...sarc//
And I so look forward to the caravans of late model Pickups and Trailers on the trek south in Nov and back north in May or so.
Something tells me it ‘ain’t gonna happen’....
Am I too late to say Piss Off hosers?
Sorry to disagree with you. Years in the hotel business taught me not to take a reservation from a kanuck if I could rent the same room to an American. They were the cheapest most demanding obnoxious people I had to deal with with few exceptions.
