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

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.
