‘While the tariffs are on, I’m going to boycott American products,’ says Ottawa shopper
Canadians have begun organizing efforts of their own to counteract U.S. tariffs imposed Saturday by President Donald Trump, with some heeding calls by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who quickly announced retaliatory levies against the U.S., to buy Canadian and boycott U.S. goods as much as possible.
Giancarlo Trimarchi, past-chair of the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers and president of Vince’s Market in Sharon, Ont., said he has begun creating “Made in Canada” tags to be placed alongside Canadian products at supermarkets.
. . .
Trimarchi’s tags could come in handy for some shoppers in Ontario who told CBC News they plan on only buying Canadian.
“Whatever is labelled Canadian, it’s going to be [the] choice for me, even if it’s not a preference,” Don Profit, who calls the tariffs an “economic attack” by Trump, told CBC News at an Ottawa supermarket.
People can also buy the best quality product that they enjoy, whether it is import or domestic, instead of buying lesser quality regardless of where something is made or produced. If someone choose to buy import because it is made better, then they can. If the best quality is domestic, then buy that. Personal preference.
Yeesh. Read the room, Rav.
A short spin through their history shows they’ve got less than 10 comments with votes in the positive. They have a pattern of troll, and based on some of the content of their comments, possibly a Tankie’s alt.
Lol.
