Canadians cancel U.S. vacations..
Oh no...we are all gonna die... I'm sorry my Canadian friends here, I'll have to take Trump all day every day over that sissy you guys put in office. You guys should be able to do better!
Copy News Canadians boycott US products, cancel vacations to America By Mark Moore June 14, 2018 | 9:13am | Updated Modal Trigger Canadians boycott US products, cancel vacations to America Getty Images 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. More On: canada Hangry woman calls cops when pizza takes too long Trump suggests Trudeau didn't know Air Force One had TVs White House adviser apologizes for slamming Justin Trudeau Our real trade enemy isn't Canada — it's China 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. “F–k you Trump. We just booked a $3,000 vacation to beautiful British Columbia. Happy anniversary to us. #Canadastrong #BuyCanadian #F***Tariffs,” tweeted Supreme Leader Lyna. And one Twitter user called on “Patriotic Americans” to schedule vacations in Canada and increase their purchases of Canadian goods. Trudeau acknowledged the support of individual Canadians during an event at Parliament earlier this week. “There’s a bit of a patriotic boost going on these past few days,” he said. Trump and Trudeau are locked in a tiff over tariffs after the president last week said he would impose penalties on steel and aluminum imports. The squabble escalated over the weekend at the G7 meeting of economic powers in Quebec when Trudeau said in a news conference that Canada would not be “pushed around” by the US and called the tariffs “insulting.” Trump heard the remarks as he flew in Air Force One to his summit in Singapore with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and withdrew from a statement issued by the G7 on trade. –– ADVERTISEMENT –– He also blasted Trudeau in a tweet, calling him “very dishonest & weak |

Never mind that Canada was selling us Chinese aluminum and steel as if it was mined and smelted there so that China could avoid tariffs and Canada could make money off the USA because of NAFTA. That's fine I guess, right Canada?

guess they'll have to survive on poutine (no Idaho potatoes) (no Wisconsin cheese) (guess you can make local gravy), Molson beer, and Tim Horton's donuts.
eh, go tour Yellowknife, it's thawed this time of year, but watch out for the skeeters. |

Trudeau is a whiny little bitch and the Canadians are sick of him. The Canadians also have a deep hatred of Trump, which is something I don't understand. I guess it's because Trump said "*****"?

It's anti-Trump fake news.
There are no hard stats to back up this claim. But because it is anti-Trump... the news media doesn't need to know if there's any weight to the claim; they'll run with it regardless. |

It is a little amusing to me to hear some of them whine. Obviously, I doubt the rank and file Canadian is going to cancel their vacation here because of politics. That said, Canada puts huge tariffs on American made products, and now that we are doing the same to other countries as they have BEEN doing to us, they have their panties in a wad. Other countries have been taking advantage of weak leadership in this country for years, and well, that is coming to and end. Even though, I will digress and say that instead of weak leadership, we were just plain and simple sold out by politicians who were getting rich from their pals in business.

I live close to and drive on Interstate 87 a lot. (AKA, the Northway) It is overloaded with Canadian commercial vechicles and in the good weather we get lots of them vacation people doing their interpretation of driving. Car loads full and the yahoos in the huge motor homes or pulling a large camping trailer. I think they believe in a book tile and use it as their motto. "God is my Copilot" |

I hope to hell my Canadian neighbors sell their effing house and never come back. What a couple of douche nuts. 50 year broadcaster for the NHL and his wife is a complete moron and doesn't belong in a community. To her, the world should orbit her fat ass.

There is a scene in Saving Private Ryan during the Omaha Beach part where the Medic in charge is giving Wade's character (Giobani Ribissi sp?) orders on what to use to treat a large group of wounded soldiers. He tells him to use 'poutine' on one solider, so that feller must have been Canadian. I wasn't aware that it had healing properties, but apparently it does...or at least they though it did in 1944. Still, only a movie, but kinda makes ya think?

Maybe Canadians should be made to pay a entry fee since thier government is refusing to spend 2% of their GDP on defense. They'd rather keep accepting refugees than pay for thier own defense.
