Trade negotiations between the US and Canada broke down in late August. The US announced the imposition of 50% tariffs on hundreds of Canadian goods, while Canada announced that it would implement “equal and equal” countermeasures on US goods. With the recent strained relationship between the US and Canada, more and more Canadians are spontaneously erasing “American-style elements” from their lives to express their dissatisfaction with the US and support for Canada. Recently, a video posted by a Canadian coffee shop went viral on social media. The video uses the Canadian national anthem as background music. The coffee shop manager is changing the “American coffee” to “Canadian coffee” on the in-store menu. He said that this is a “very small but necessary” update.
