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.

I used to work at a Saskatoon clothing manufacturer in the 70s, back when we hadn't sold our souls to unfettered capitalism.

Why we aren't funding farmers to grow flax (for linen) and hemp - along with funding for local manufacturers to make the fabric - is beyond me.

    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
