Summary

Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, along with threats of more on lumber and dairy, have sparked widespread backlash in Canada.

Canadians are boycotting American products, canceling U.S. trips, and rallying around “Buy Canadian” efforts. Ontario has banned U.S. liquor sales, and Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut electricity exports.

British Columbia’s premier vowed national unity against the tariffs. The federal government launched a $5 billion aid program for affected businesses.

Many Canadians see the tariffs as a betrayal and reject Trump’s taunts about making Canada the 51st state.

    DeSantis tried to play it off by pointing out how many Canadians still chose to visit Florida anyway… In 2024.

    So, apparently he thinks we have time travel.

        Yeah, ironically by bragging about how much of their tourism comes from Canada he’s just telling us how much they have to lose.
