Canadian anti-tariff billboards appearing across Florida

Canadian anti-tariff billboards are popping up in Florida and across the U.S.

Crew members with Gulf Coast News have spotted billboards opposing tariffs along Colonial Blvd near I-75 in Fort Myers.

"It bothers me when foreign countries come in and start trying to control our politics. It's none of their business," said Fort Myers resident Ted Nusbaum.

You might have seen a controversial message appear on one of these billboards.

The escalating tensions between the U.S. and Canada over tariffs set by President Trump have recently grabbed people's attention.

"I feel that everybody has an opinion," said Ted Nusbaum.

Along major roads here in Florida and across the country, the billboards read...

"Tariffs are a tax on your grocery bills" or "Tariffs are a tax on your grocery bills."

The Canadian Foreign Minister, in an interview with CNN, said they're rolling out these messages on digital billboards across 12 states... Including Florida.

Got to love some of my neighbors! NOT!

A Trumpanzee saying THIS, after recent events concerning Canada and Greenland? I thought the quote from Mister Nut Tree was an ironic joke, but further reading of the article indicated that he had no earthly clue about how ridiculous that sounded coming from a Trump supporter.

Is Canada putting billboards up against the tariffs? Sorry I’m tired and I can’t understand what this is about exactly.
