Boo The Himhem, release alcohol: how Canadians are fighting US tariffs in Trump’s new commercial war

Canada has begun to point out its anger for the tariffs of the United States, with calls to boycott their products and videos of sport fans booing their national anthem that extends through social networks.

As Donald Trump’s order to impose functions of up to 25 percent in the sunk Canadian goods, social networks users requested that people avoid US products such as whiskey and fruit and, instead, buy Canadian items.

Canada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest commercial partner in the United States.

The two countries ordered tariffs despite Trump’s greatest threat to increase collected duties if retaliation levies are placed in US assets.

Some authorities in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, Manitoba Nova Scotia planned to eliminate American liquor brands from government stores.

For example, the Ontario Liquor Control Board (LCBO) sells almost $ 1 billion in wine, beer, liquors and seftzers of almost $ 1 billion every year, the first minister of Ontario, Doug Ford, said Sunday.

“Not anymore,” Ford said in a statement.

As the only alcohol wholesaler in the province, the Board’s action will prevent restaurants and retail with Ointario headquarters from ordering or reasigning US products.

Beyond the official response, people were already thinking about ways of dealing with Trump’s decision, even sharing suggestions in social networks for alternatives to US products.

Trudeau went directly to Americans, saying that the rates “will have real consequences for you.”

A feeling of betrayal of the closest ally in Canada has also stimulated reactions beyond politics, since sport fans said they hoped to feel the economic blow of Trump’s tariffs.

The Canadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem. Uu. On Saturday night in two games of the National Hockey League.

The Booing continued on Sunday in an NBA game in Toronto, where the Raptors played Los Angeles Clippers.

A fan of the Raptors game decided to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat.

Joseph Chua, who works as a importer, said he hoped to feel the “quite directly” tariffs.

“I have always stayed during both hymns. I have removed my hat to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we feel a bit bitter by things,” he said, adding that he would begin to avoid buying American products.

Why is Trump imposing tariffs?

Trump says that tariffs should force countries to do more to stop the fentanyl flow that enters the United States.

It also includes pressing Canada and Mexico to limit any illegal immigration to the country.

An informative sheet of the White House in the tasks said that the rates would remain in place “until the relieved crisis”, but did not provide details about what actions the three countries would need to take to earn a break.

Publishing in his social truth, Trump cited undocumented migration and drug flow such as the reason behind the rates.

“I made a promise in my campaign to prevent the avalanche of illegal foreigners and drugs from spilling on our borders, and the Americans voted overwhelmingly in favor,” he wrote.

Legal action for ‘illegal’ tariffs

Canada will undertake legal actions under relevant international organizations to challenge rates of 25 percent imposed by the United States in most Canadian goods, a senior government official said on Sunday, qualifying Sunday with illegal and unjustified tariffs.

Charging…

The official said that the Canadian government considered the measure of Mr. Trump illegal and said he violated commercial commitments between the two countries under his free trade agreement and under the world trade organization.

“If there are other legal routes available to us, they will also be considered,” said the official.
