A diplomatic spat has erupted after U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra relayed that President Trump views Canadians as 'mean and nasty' for boycotting U.S. travel and 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 considered '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 supporting retaliatory measures against U.S. tariffs. The dispute highlights growing strain in U.S.-Canada relations and a rising sense of Canadian nationalism.
Both sides appear entrenched, with Canadian officials encouraging citizens to continue their assertive stance.
