'I'm not going back': Canadians stand firm on boycotts of U.S. travel and liquor as trade talks continue

[Swede]

A vast majority of Canadians, eight out of 10, still believe boycotting American goods and travel to the U.S. is helpful in strengthening Canada’s bargaining position, according to a new survey by Nanos for CTV News.

Fifty-three per cent of respondents believe a boycott is helpful, while 29 per cent believe it’s somewhat helpful.

That’s largely unchanged from six months ago when Nanos asked respondents the same question – 54 per cent found it “helpful” and 26 per cent “somewhat helpful.” Just 10.5 per cent of respondents think avoiding U.S. goods and travel is “not helpful” to Canada’s bargaining position.

1. Kicking your friends and allies in the teeth is not a wise or good policy.

But trDUMP will never appreciate that realization,... diplomatic relations are just not in Dotard's bag of skills.

2. It's almost like insulting, denigrating, threatening, and alienating your allies would have a

Deleterious affect on your relationship with them. Who knew?
