Canadians are unhappy.

President Trump's tariffs¹ on Canadian-made steel and aluminum² exported to the US has fired up many Canadian leaders and consumers.

On Sunday, Canada slapped tariffs on 12.63 billion dollars worth of American-made goods in retaliation³. There's been a growing movement among Canadian consumers to boycott⁴ US-made products and services. Hashtags like "I Shop Canada", "Buy Canadian", and "Boycott USA" are taking off across social media in Canada.

Beth Mouratidis lives in Barrie, Ontario. She's using her Facebook page to urge her fellow Canadians to shun⁵ U.S.-made products and Buy Canadian. Listen above to learn why there is such a strong pushback against Trump's tariffs in Canada, and why Beth believes that trade wars cost jobs and "hurt everyone" involved in them.
