The new tariffs have sown anger and confusion among America’s neighbors to the north who say they feel betrayed by a longtime friend.

Summary

Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, along with threats of more on lumber and dairy, have sparked widespread backlash in Canada.

Canadians are boycotting American products, canceling U.S. trips, and rallying around “Buy Canadian” efforts. Ontario has banned U.S. liquor sales, and Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut electricity exports.

British Columbia’s premier vowed national unity against the tariffs. The federal government launched a $5 billion aid program for affected businesses.

Many Canadians see the tariffs as a betrayal and reject Trump’s taunts about making Canada the 51st state.

    We didn’t start it. Trump did. Being polite doesn’t mean we are willing to take shit from anyone. We are polite to them, for their own protection.
