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.

This is just BS from the hill. Canada has lots of good people that see the same thing in Trump we do. It’s just that the liberal POS have learned how to cheat the sytem and now that have a child as a leader. Time will catch up to them the way it has for us.

Canada ain’t the whole NHL. We will settle this kerfufle before October eeeh? It’s just the eastern half of Canada that’s tightywhitey anyway. Western Canada has their stuff in one stack. I’d trade BC for CA any day.

Good for them, it will have little impact though. We will win in the end.
