The Canadians replied by outrage to impose steep the United States tariffs to Canadian goods, abolition of trips, boycott of American products and even sports events to protest what many consider to be the unfair economic attack by President Donald Trump. The US administration on Saturday imposed 25 % tariff on most Canadian imports, while energy products will face 10 % of the fee. In response, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced retaliatory tariffs of $ 155 billion ($ 107 billion) on US goods, while the first phase was on Tuesday. This step caused a wave of nationalist sentiment all over Canada, while citizens promised to buy local residents and avoid brands. “It’s as if Trump wants to restructure the world order,” said Drew Dilkens, Mayor of Windsor, a Canadian border city that sees approximately $ 400 million ($ 272 million) in a daily trade over the Ambassador’s bridge and connects it with Detroit. “If he is willing to do it in Canada, what is he willing to do to everyone else?” Economic impact and local reaction The tariffs have already begun to influence communities depending on business trade. They are very afraid of loss of jobs and economic disorders, especially in Ontario, which relies strongly on the trade in Canada in the US. Ontario Premier Doug Ford ordered a bold step to order Ontario Premier to check the liqueur in Ontario (LCBO), the largest retailer for the province to withdraw all the American liqueurs from the shelves. “Every year, LCBO sells nearly $ 1 billion of American wine, beer, spirits and Seltzers. No more, ”Ford wrote on X. Meanwhile, many Canadians took individual steps to move back against what they consider to be economic aggression. Calgary’s inhabitants Ken Lima-Celho said his family began to re-evaluate their household purchases and ensured to support Canadian businesses. “I can’t do anything about this Quagmir … but I can change what toothpaste I buy,” he said. Public will are spreading into sports and traveling Canadians also took their frustrations for sports events. During the hockey game on Saturday in Ottawa spectators jumped the American national anthem before the senators played against Minnesota Wild. A similar answer was observed on the basketball game in Toronto, where Rapors fans set out during the anthem before the match against La Clippers. Winnipeg resident Loraine Mackenzie Shepherd said she plans to give priority to buying Mexican and Canadian products in solidarity with workers who may suffer from tariffs. “There will be work in this country … We have to find ways to stand together.” On the queue of traveling many Canadians for protest, he canceled trips to the US. Mike Davies, a 64 -year -old -British Columbia, went to the beginning of the social media campaign and called on Canadians to boycott American products. “To get American insults of Canada’s insults … Every Canadian is simply disgusted,” he said, adding that he canceled Netflix’s subscription and avoided the use of Amazon.
