A majority of Canadians would be hesitant to buy U.S. goods in response to the proposed American tariff on products from Canada, according to a new survey.

The findings of a recently released Nanos Research survey suggest a tariff on Canadian exports into the U.S. would, for two-thirds of Canadians, negatively impact the likelihood they'd purchase U.S.-made goods.

On Nov. 25, U.S. president-elect Donald Trump said he would impose a 25 per cent tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico until the two countries clamped down on drugs, particularly fentanyl, and migrants crossing the border.

We actually do grow flax in Canada...and then don't make linen out of it -_-

EDIT: Ah, apparently you can get either fibres or oil from any particular flax crop, but not both, because you harvest at different times

Yup. And oil seed (canola, corn, flax, etc) is top of the heap now.
