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, Canadian network CTV News reported on Wednesday.

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.

Maybe Justin Bieber and Samantha Bee can move back to Canada while they're at it.

I'm guessing they won't be able to hold out very long.

Bet they'll still be coming to our hospitals, to beat the waiting lines in their socialist paradise hospitals.

Does that include those medical 'vacations' Canadians come down to America for? You know to see the sights that are so common here, but rare and elusive in Canada.

Well, I'm getting some meds from Canada because my overpriced insurance won't pay for them.  So I can't fault the Canadians for coming here for treatment.

Pretty sure Americans could give up Molson before Canucks could give up bourbon or Walmart.  :pondering:

My Canadian in-laws are members of a travel and cultural exchange group called Friendship Force, which organizes seniors groups to visit each others' countries and stay in members' homes.  I was very sad to hear that the next group coming from Florida to Ontario CA has had trouble finding hosts because they don't want to interact with Trump supporters ;(.  I thought that was the main point of Friendship Force.

Having once lived in Upland, CA.,I'm not so sure I'd want to go to Ontario, either.
