Not only are trips to the US and American companies' products being boycotted , ther is another grassroots effort aimed at grocery items. Canadians are reading labels like never before and making decisions about the foodstuffs they are buying. They are learning the difference between Product of Canada (98% Canadian products and or manufacturing in Canada), Made in Canada (51% of direct production costs were incurred in Canada).

People are fighting back against this unprecedented trade war, (let's cut out the Euphemisms) because this confrontation is deadly serious. I mean what else can you call actions taken by one country to punish another for a perceived trade imbalance? (Never mind that the first country's leader doesn't have the vaguest idea of what he's yammering about.)

Canada is, by and large a country of polite, quiet people who like hockey (a lot) and the Tragically Hip, but it's always the quiet ones you need to pay attention to, because when they finally get riled up, the fallout for the bullies can (will) be epic.

Trump has awakened a sleeping bear and he and his country are going to feel its wrath.

"As for Canada? Keep the boycott going."

Greetings from Florida from someone looking to sell out and go back to MN. I support the boycotts, and please, keep on rubbing Der Trumpenfuehrer's nose in the crap he's trying to spread. I freakin' love it! Break these fascist bastards!
