Canada Declares 'No American Goods' After US Says '50% More Please'
KEY POINTS
- •On August 22-23, 2026, the US imposed a 50% tariff on some Canadian goods after trade talks collapsed.
- •Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney swiftly proposed matching tariffs dollar-for-dollar to retaliate.
- •Many Canadians, including Vancouver psychiatrist Tyler Black, renewed their boycott of American products and travel.
On August 22 and 23, 2026, amid the unsurprising collapse of US-Canada trade talks, dear old Donald Trump slapped Canada with a 50% tariff on select goods—because why not make friends? Not to be outdone, Canadian PM Mark Carney invented dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs like a vengeful math teacher. Vancouver’s Tyler Black says tariff chat is as common as bad coffee downtown, with people ready to boycott American goods like their maple syrup depends on it. Social media’s loaded with #BoycottUSA revival cries and heated Canadian tweets begging Europeans for backup, while some folks hope the tariffs will fix slumping cross-border travel—because what’s patriotism if not begrudging inconvenience?
