American companies that employ hundreds of Quebec workers could suffer from a call for a boycott as suggested on certain social media, reports TVA Nouvelles and others.
economist and agronomist Pascal Thériault, Director of the Farm Management and Technology Program, told ճմthat caution is required, despite the good faith of Quebecers who want to respond to Donald Trump's threats of putting tariffs on Canadian goods.
“You have to be very careful. Can we question ourselves as consumers to make the right choices? That's for sure, but you have to think about the impact. Often, these [targeted] companies have factories that process locally,” he noted.
