Canadians have started to boycott U.S. goods in the wake of President Trump's war of words with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the recent steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada, the European Union, and Mexico.

CTV News reported on Thursday that Canadian shoppers were boycotting Florida oranges, Kentucky bourbon and California wine over the diplomatic rift.

Canadians have also employed hashtags such as #BoycottUSProducts, #BuyCanadian and #BoycottUSA.

You forgot wolves. I think the dumbazzes in the US Fish and Wildlife deptartment paid out the wazoo for the ones they brought here. It cost a lot of us a chunk of change for our shovels and then the reloading supplies and we’ll aah never mind. Those Canuks must have got a good giggle out our brilliant college boys and girls.

When I go to the grocery store I buy what I want and do not care where it comes from. Canadians do the same.

My only exception is bourbon. If it “aint from Kentucky or Tennessee it aint bourbon.”

I used to hear wolves at night while camping out in northwestern Ontario back in the day.

I suspect I’ve spent >365 days in Ontario over decades (except the last one).

I have always wished more Americans would buy American anyway. Maybe they will start to do so now (except for Democrats who will likely empathize with Trudeau.)

Even with NAFTA, Canada puts 270% Tariff’s on our Dairy Products and WE are the bad guys? Got it.

I think our Fed asked “so how much?” The Canadian says “well gee we were just going to”. The Fed says “ we’ll give you 250k US “ just before the Canadian was going to say euthanize the things. The money changed hands. They loaded up the damn things and brought them to us here in ID, MT, and WY. Waalaa a new term was coined. Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up. We practice shoot and release now. But we do buy tags for emergencies like witnesses.

In a tit-for-tat boycott, Canada, our northern colony, loses. They need us far more than we need them. I like Canadians and Canada but they really need to recognize their place in the world pecking order.

The whole re-population of varmints around JellyStone pretty much has the locals, who have to deal with predators day by day, up in arms....

Well we are always up and armed for the most part. This just added a little more to address. Great grandad made the old ones disappear for a reason. We are just doing it again. History repeating.

They will forget their boycott during snow bird season.

LOL... You are SO right! Every other person we run into in Florida each March is from Canada. Those Toronto Blue Jays fans are all over the place during MLB Spring Break!
