A diplomatic spat has erupted after U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra relayed that President Trump and his team view Canadians as 'mean and nasty' for boycotting U.S. travel and American alcohol in response to trade tensions and tariffs.
Canadian leaders, including B.C. Premier David Eby, have fired back, saying most Canadians are proud to be considered 'nasty' if it means defending their country's sovereignty and economic interests. The Buy-Canadian movement is gaining traction, with many Canadians choosing to vacation at home and avoid U.S. products. The dispute highlights growing frustration in Canada over perceived disrespect from U.S. leadership and a widening rift in cross-border relations.
Canadian officials argue that these actions are a justified response to U.S. policies and rhetoric under Trump.
