Canadian business owner Peter Raju saw his sales plunge 80% after BC's premier called for a boycott of U.S. goods. His parking lot went from 40% full to six cars. Boycott organizers say they'll keep going until American morale crumbles.
The shelves are fully stocked, but the customers nowhere to be found.
But Canadians are not coming at all.
Owner Peter Raju says his business is unfairly caught in the middle, and business has dropped 80% since BC's premier said this.
Yeah, fuck Trump, the boycott stays until America puts a moose on their flag. Our business dropped immediately. We will have to lay off staff.
The owner says on a typical Tuesday morning, this parking lot would be about 40% full, but today only 6 vehicles sit in the parking lot, and one of them is ours.
It's not only land travel that's been impacted. Plane travel to the U.S. up in the air too. McMillan says some clients are traveling with an anything-but-America mindset, looking at European or Mexican destinations or canceling trips altogether.
