🍁 Canadians have canceled trips south of the border, banned U.S. alcohol and other products and even booed at sporting events after 🇺🇸 U.S President Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on most of Canada's goods on Saturday.

Though Trump had pledged to put tariffs on Canada and Mexico before taking office, the perceived act of economic warfare on a country that is so close to the United States culturally and geographically still came as a shock to many Canadians.

"It feels like Trump wants to restructure the world order," Drew Dilkens, mayor of the Canadian border city of Windsor, said in an interview. "He's willing to start with his closest ally… If he's willing to do this to Canada, what's he willing to do to everybody else?"

Dilkens said about C$400 million ($272 million) in trade crosses the Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit and Windsor every day. For his 240,000-person community, the fallout from Trump's tariffs will be immediate. He hopes residents will support local wineries and distilleries.

Calgary resident Ken Lima-Coelho said the tariff news spurred a surge of Canadian pride in his household. His 19-year-old son is now making plans to sew a small Canadian flag to his backpack for an upcoming trip to Europe, while his daughter spent Saturday night making an inventory of Canadian food products in the family's kitchen.

"There's nothing I can do about this quagmire that we now find ourselves in politically with the regime next door," Lima-Coelho said. "But I can change which toothpaste I buy... and that gives us something to do while hopefully our political and business leaders sort this out."

Trump slapped a 25% import tariff on all Canadian goods, except energy products, which will carry a levy of 10% while entering the United States.

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau immediately announced retaliatory tariffs on C$155 billion ($107 billion) of U.S. goods. Those on C$30 billion will take effect on Tuesday, the same day as most of Trump's tariffs, and duties on the remaining C$125 billion in 21 days, Trudeau said.

Trudeau also encouraged Canadians to buy local and vacation in Canada, a sentiment echoed by many local officials.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford ordered American-made liquor to be off the shelves of the provincially controlled Liquor Control Board of Ontario, the only alcohol wholesaler in Canada's most populous province, by Tuesday.

"Every year, LCBO sells nearly $1 billion worth of American wine, beer, spirits and seltzers. Not anymore," Ford wrote on X.

After attending church in Winnipeg, Loraine MacKenzie Shepherd said her grocery shopping habits will change, and she hoped to support Mexican products as well as Canadian.

"There will be job losses in this country... we know that's going to happen," she said. "We need to find ways to be in solidarity with others who will be suffering the brunt of some irrational ire."

In Ottawa on Saturday night, Canadians reacted more angrily at a hockey game: booing the U.S. national anthem before the Ottawa Senators played the Minnesota Wild.

TV footage showed basketball fans booing the anthem again on Sunday before the Toronto Raptors played the LA Clippers.

Canada to implement $1.3bn border plan, Trudeau says

As we've reported, Justin Trudeau has just said on X that the proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports will be paused for 30 days.

Trudeau also announced that Canada is implementing a "$1.3 billion border plan" to add new choppers, technology and personnel to border, as well as "increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl".

"Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border. In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering," he adds.

"I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million"

Lol. Policy that would soon change.

Nigeria closed borders against rice importation, just to encourage local production. Guess what? The price went very high locally and the masses suffered more.

Trump's unnecessary body language should not send these countries into making hasty decisions. Trump is here for just 4 years.

I think Trump is making very wrong decisions...


People /countries will find alternative markets for their needs.

Limiting the already dwindling control the US has.

Trump is so unstable I wonder how he was able to make... Or sustain wealth.

Abi na old age! kiss

Only developing countries can be severely affected by tariffs. For an advanced service economy like Canada, not much just that prices will rise in both countries.
