Trump Has Awoken A Slumbering Moose(Canada)

So before the "Tirade" of Trump and his acolytes....Canadians were just kind of like "whatever it's your mess".
But now they are angry, to the point that even those that always attack the Prime Minster are lining up behind him.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may be taking a “cooler heads” approach to the barrage of insults from U.S. President Donald Trump and his top aides as Canada-U.S. trade tensions thicken, but consumers north of the border are proving less stoic.Scores of shoppers and travellers are mounting strikes against America’s pocketbook by boycotting U.S. goods and trips to the States. On Twitter, hashtags including #BuyCanadian, #BoycottUSProducts and #BoycottUSA are spreading tips on using purchasing power to defend Canada’s honour.....
The extent to which Canadians are willing to do without American products has yet to be seen. But if the online fervor for punishing Trump at the checkout line persists, it may serve as a reminder of Canada’s economic heft.

No worries-have you seen the exchange rate? Trudeau is way out of his league-he knows it and now most of Canada does.

Canada barely functions without the US economy.

You know what I say to that - Tough.

All Trump is asking for is reciprocal trade. He is not after shafting Canada, he just wants fairness.

If Canadian's think they are entitled to think they can can get the best of us - I say go ahead and try.

I know how that will end and so do all the Canadians.

bahahaha

Actually, I don't doubt this will short term help Trudeau's polls. Rally around the flag, so to speak. Obviously Trudeau desperately needs that support as I haven't met a single Canadian who admits he voted for him...out west.

If Kim can come to an accord with Trump, a dictator, why can't Trudeau?? If you want to fall back on Anti-Americanism, it will be Trudeau who has the last laugh.

Looks like Canada has a MSM too !!

Canada takes i's news from the US MSM then filters it even more....

Trump didn't like that he said publicly "we won't be pushed around" right before the NK summit.

One might say they are almost but not quite thoroughly miffed...

The thread's premise is bull. I've seen more, way more criticism of Trudeau's handling of it by Canadians rather than some surge of anti-Americanism.

The situation has been around for decades and the current 'leaders' in the countries involve face political loss if the negotiate 'fairer' trade agreements. A little 'face-saving' before actual negotiations occur is reasonable.

So true...

Thank you! I was really needing a good laugh and you have just made my day, thank you!

Being this naive to the situation ... good lord do a little research into what you blab about.

Trump is focusing on the 270% tariff costs for dairy coming INTO Canada.
Guess what, we are protecting OUR dairy farmers and making it a FAIR deal for both sides.

Did you know that the US government buys back over 25 million dollars worth of unused dairy, and spills over 20 million gallons of milk because the US population doesn't buy it. Maybe if you people stopped drinking soda and sugary drinks and more water and milk you wouldn't need to spill over into another nation for your capitalist greed. Here's a suggestion, stop over producing, stop trying to make more money for once, and concentrate on your own goddamn nation for once.

As a Canadian, WE DO NOT WANT YOUR DAIRY, get over yourselves, leave us alone.

With the current climate Canada will be one of many countries boycotting American goods. It's going to hurt the American economy in the not too distant future.

a reply to: Blue_Jay33

THIS is considered a 'tirade'?

PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.” Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!

Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!
