A diplomatic spat has erupted after U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra relayed that President Trump considers Canadians 'mean and nasty' for boycotting U.S. travel and banning American alcohol in response to trade tensions.
Canadian leaders, including B.C. Premier David Eby, have fired back, saying most Canadians are proud to be seen as 'nasty' if it means defending their sovereignty and economy. The comments have fueled a strong Buy-Canadian movement and increased domestic travel, with many Canadians avoiding the U.S. altogether. 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 their actions are justified responses to U.S. tariffs and rhetoric, and they encourage citizens to continue supporting Canadian businesses.
