Canada has revealed retaliatory tariffs against U.S. duties on steel and aluminum. They're set to go into place July 1.
The tariffs target things like ketchup, boats, toilet paper, dishwasher fluid, playing cards, coffee and yogurt. They'll total around $12.6 billion in U.S. goods.

Trump's insults, tariffs inspire Canadians to organize boycott of U.S. goods

Zlati Meyer, USA TODAY Published June 18, 2018

Natalie McLellan no longer stocks Heinz ketchup, Florida oranges or any other foods that come from the U.S. at her home in LaSalle, Ontario.
The 42-year-old autism consultant is one of a growing number of Canadians who are boycotting U.S. products, a decision motivated by President Donald Trump's anti-Canadian sentiments (https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/politics/2018/06/10/trump-aide-special-place-hell-canada-pm-justin-trudeau/35904699/) and tough trade stance.

"I really don't feel comfortable supporting our neighbors," McLellan said. "It seems Trump and the politicians and the people of your country who stand behind him don't want to have a global community."

Now, hashtags such as #BoycottUSA, #BuyCanadian and #VacationCanada – and their French equivalents in the bilingual nation – are bubbling among patriotic Canadians. Some in the nation known as much for its politeness as its love of hockey are avoiding everything American (https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/politics/2018/06/11/donald-trumps-trade-disputes-with-canada-mexico-and-eu/35905349/), whether it is fresh and packaged food, U.S.-based retailers and chain restaurants, appliances, cars and travel destinations.

Yea, I can't find the right words either. They are supposed to be our closest trade ally.

Everything Trudeau touches ends up in massive failure, they will probably be the first to fall.
