The next front in Canada’s trade war against the US is being waged in airports, gas stations and gift shops, as Canadians cancel their American vacations en masse, The Post has learned.

Both air and land travel have been impacted, as the US northern neighbors protest the impact of tariffs on their country’s economy — an offensive that could cost the American economy $2.1 billion and 14,000 jobs, the US Travel Association has estimated.

Carlo Tarini from Montreal traded his family’s April vacation to New York City for the Bahamas instead.

“We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore,” Tarini told The Post, adding that the US is wiped off the map for the next four years as far as his family’s travels are concerned.

For Tarini, what did it was US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, and the impact it’s already had on the country’s economy – the Canadian dollar tumbled to a two-decade low after the announcement, before going back up only slightly at the news of a 30-day reprieve.

“He’s threatening our economy,” said Tarini. “It’s a family decision and we’re sticking with it.”
