According to a new study by the Angus Reid Institute, 76% of Canadians say they’re boycotting American products.

61% of Canadians also say they’re cancelling or delaying trips to the U.S., while 86% say they’re buying more Canadian products.

“The cross-border data already proves it: Canadians are cutting back their travel to the U.S. to levels last seen during COVID-19. These numbers may drop further, considering that 3 in 5 Canadians say they’re cancelling or delaying plans to travel across the border. In addition to this, the proportion of Canadians saying they’re boycotting American products or buying more Canadian products is already high and appears to be growing.”

Nice one. You got to really hit them in the cronyism to win. Like, don't boycott or put tarrifs on blue state stuff (no idea what) but, put all the tarrifs on, say, florida oranges in the run up to the governors election or kentucky bourbon and the like.

It's exactly that kind of targeting that the EU used to force armerica to back down on tariffs under W Bush. They've hated the EU since.
