Trade tensions between Canada and the United States have escalated after bilateral talks broke down, with anti-U.S. sentiment in Canada rising alongside a renewed push to boycott American goods. According to ChainCatcher, the United States has imposed a 50% tariff on C$20 billion worth of Canadian goods, and Canada has announced matching retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products starting Sept. 8. Survey data cited in the report points to a broader consumer response as well: 52% of Canadians said they may avoid buying U.S. cars, 60% said they would not buy American alcohol, and more than 70% said they would not purchase U.S. eggs and dairy products. The figures suggest that the trade dispute is spilling beyond policy into household buying decisions.
