The dispute over tariffs has angered Canadians so much that a new poll shows a majority of Canadians are willing to boycott American businesses and avoid traveling to the United States.
At the beginning of June, the Trump Administration slapped a 25 percent tariff on the import of Canadian steel and a 10 percent tariff on the import of Canadian Aluminum.
Canada retaliated with its own tariffs on July 1. More the 100 U.S. steel products face a Canadian surtax of 25 percent and a surtax of 10 percent has been added on the import of 70 other categories of American products like toffee, maple syrup, coffee beans and strawberry jam.
In a new poll, conducted by Nanos Research for CTV News and The Globe and Mail, a majority of Canadians say they are willing to respond to a trade war with the U.S. by boycotting American products and avoiding travel to the United States.
