Graham Palmateer, owner of Gram’s Pizza, has done away completely with U.S. products
A Toronto pizzeria has joined the growing number of Canadian institutions boycotting U.S. products in response to Donald Trump’s threats to impose exorbitant tariffs on Canadian imports. The pizzeria, owned by Michael Palmateer, has switched to using Canadian or European ingredients, citing disappointment with the U.S. administration. He has replaced U.S. diet soda and other items with local alternatives, sourcing pepperoni from Quebec and flour from Ontario. He also avoids U.S. tomatoes, opting for Italian brands. The boycott reflects broader Canadian sentiment, with a recent poll showing four in five Canadians buying more Canadian products. Meanwhile, coffee shops across Canada have renamed their Americanos as "Canadianos" as a symbolic protest.
