Letters to the Editor: Canadians' rejection of US goods took off faster than boycott of Israel

'Imagine a world where a small handful of rich countries stood up to the occupation before the Hamas attack on Israel'

For decades, campaigners have been calling for a boycott of Israeli goods due to its actions in the Palestinian territories. Picture: Larry Cummins

I doubt I’m alone in cheering Canadians. In shops, there are cute signs with red maple leaves on empty shelves which read ‘Buy Canadian Instead’ near shelves which usually contain US products.

Many retailers are stocking American goods out back so that only customers who really want them, ask for them, and buy them, thus boosting Canadian sales.
