Are Canadians 'Livid' About Trump?


NPR: 'Canadians Are Livid' About Trump And Are Hitting Back By Boycotting U.S. Goods

In a large, brightly lit grocery store in Canada's capital Ottawa, Scott Chamberlain smoothly navigates his shopping cart through the produce section, looking for ingredients to make chili.

WNU Editor: I live in Canada, and the ones who are "livid" about President Trump are the media (they have been livid since his election), and the hard-core progressive/socialist left (and they have also been vehemently opposed to President Trump since day one). For other Canadians .... they/we are against U.S. moves to impose tariffs, but it is life as usual. If there is an issue that makes Canadians livid, it is high gas prices that have been imposed on all of us courtesy of government policies.

A couple of weeks ago my girl friend advised me that she is not buying American. That was the first time I heard that anyone had that frame of mind. Until people stop shopping in American stores, Walmart, Home Depot, Costco, Winners, Marshall's, Homesense and a raft of others it is a non issue as we really don't see a lot of made in America products. Frankly, we don't see a lot of made in Canada products either.

I guess this is going to kill Log Cabin and Aunt Jemimah syrup imports to Canada.
