The recent announcement of U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods has ignited a strong backlash among Canadian travelers, leading to widespread cancellations of vacations to the United States. Michigan, a state that relies heavily on Canadian tourists, stands to lose millions in revenue as a result of this growing boycott. With Canada serving as the top international source of U.S. visitors, a decline in Canadian tourism could severely impact Michigan’s tourism sector, which contributes significantly to the state’s economy.
A bunch of people will take pay cuts, lose their jobs or otherwise lose money over this. Therefore progressives should take this opportunity to make it very clear to Trump and non voters that Trump did this. This is how you get votes in the next election.
The tariffs are going to backfire when MAGA folks see the new sticker prices on their beloved pickup trucks. The supply chain for those is densely integrated between Canada and the US. My friend works as a weld tech at a plant that builds truck frames. 100% of them are exported to the US for assembly into new trucks.
