President Donald Trump's recent threats to annex Canada as the 51st state have ignited a strong Canadian boycott of US holidays, a move that could inflict a £1.6 billion ($2 billion) economic blow to the United States and lead to the loss of 14,000 jobs within its tourism sector.
The origins of the boycott stemmed from a combination of rising tensions between the two countries and concerns over national sovereignty. The impact of this protest has quickly spread, affecting major US tourist hotspots, including cities like New York and Los Angeles, which heavily rely on Canadian visitors.
