We must make sure that enough Canadians refuse to buy US produce that it's completely unprofitable for grocers to carry it. No more maple washing either. Just because a company prints a maple leaf on the label doesn't mean it's a Canadian product.

So, Nutlick thought Canada would roll over, but instead we rolled up our sleeves. We will never bargain away the tiniest bit of our sovereignty or give in to US blackmail. Canadians are asking the democratic nations of the world to join us in the largest boycott of US goods the world has ever seen.
