Buy Canadian economics carry a steep cost
Canadians are encouraging one another to go “Trump-free” – that is, to shop for groceries without buying a single American product. Even restaurants are jumping on the bandwagon by serving “Trump-free” dishes.
These are interesting reactions in the face of Washington’s somewhat contradictory foreign trade policies.
In a nutshell, here’s what happened following the G7 summit: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plays nice with U.S. President Donald Trump, Trump tears Trudeau apart on social media, Trudeau plays nice again.
While Trudeau showed very Canadian diplomacy, poise and resilience, the Canadian public seems to be taking another approach.
