Fewer Americans are visiting Canada. Ad campaigns assure them they’re welcome here
Late last year, Dan Davis of Cleveland, Ohio, began planning a motorcycle trip with friends this summer that includes several days in Ontario.
But those plans became a little uncertain after U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January and imposed tariffs on Canada, sparking a trade war. That, coupled with Trump’s frequent threats to make Canada the 51st state, has sparked anger among many Canadians.
Davis noted that, in February, Canadians booed the U.S. national anthem at several NHL hockey games, and in March, the Canadian government ran a billboard campaign in a dozen U.S. states, including Ohio, declaring that Trump’s “tariffs are a tax.”
Long before the current tariff war many Canadians held America in open contempt, it is the cornerstone of their ‘nationalism’ .
There is no hypocrisy like a smug Canadian’s hypocrisy. Hey Americans give us your money while we spit on you!
