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

Oh, really? How about Tariffs imposed by CANADA?
I turn 70 this year and I have yet to meet a Canadian I liked.
Not bad news...they are horrible drivers.
Boycotting, Yeah right. See how long that lasts when they need bypass surgery. Canadian bitches ain’t going to fly down to Mexico
[[[yawn]]]
The provinces north of me are Alberta and Saskatchewan, and I’ve found otherwise. But we’re out in the sticks in Montana, so . . .
What region of Canada brings you the folks you see most?
While you at it come pick up all the Canadian trash clowns like Samantha Bee who have waddled their dumb asses down here. Keep your trash at home from now on Clownville.
And Jim Carrey too.
Thank the Lord.
Waitstaff also happy. Canucks don't tip.
Gonna be a great year for Canadian citrus...
Can’t argue with you on that point. There’s enough obnoxious to go around...
Well, since it is summer cancelling a vacation to the sunny southern US is not too much of a burden for our frostbitten neighbors. I would be impressed if they did this in winter, which they won’t.
“We just booked a $3,000 vacation....”
Canadian dollars? Meh...
Lot’s of SciFi stuff from Vancouver.
Some of it was very good.
Winning!
Dear TT,
re: “They could say YOU made your choice and YOU voted for Obama,”
“I HAVE made my choice, and it weren’t the fantastic plastic Negro, or his blonde Jezebel, neither.”
