   Trump will probably try to raise tariffs to force tourists back to the   
   shithole USA and Las Vegas.   
      
      
   Canadians cite Trump's 'disrespect'   
      
   Winnipeg resident Martyn Daly is one of those visitors who's staying away.   
   In an interview with CBC News, Daly said he and his wife typically go to   
   Vegas once a year, but he can't bring himself to do it this year with the   
   trade war raging.   
      
   "We're pretty upset with what's going on in the U.S. and the disrespect   
   that's been shown by the Trump administration towards Canada. I just feel   
   obliged to do something — and one little thing I can do is not patronizing   
   a place we enjoy," he said. "It's not a good idea to be spending any of our   
   hard-earned money in the States. I can spend it elsewhere with a clear   
   conscience."   
      
       The U.S. boycott remains strong. Why many Canadians are digging in   
   their heels

   He's also leery of what he may face at the Canada-U.S. border amid reports   
   some travellers are being held up for questioning or, in some rare   
   instances, detention.

   Guy Kerbrat says he and his wife, Karen, are 'Vegas-goers. It's a   
   destination we enjoy.' But they've decided to boycott travel to the city as   
   a result of Donald Trump's trade tactics. (Supplied by Guy Kerbrat)   
      
   Guy Kerbrat, of Regina, cancelled a long-planned trip to Vegas to see an   
   AC/DC concert to protest Trump's treatment of Canada.   
      
   "The thought of going down there right now — it doesn't make you feel warm   
   and fuzzy. We just couldn't do it," Kerbrat said in an interview.   
      
   "My wife and I, we are Vegas-goers. It's a destination we enjoy. But we   
   looked at each other and said, 'We can't support Trump and these policies   
   that are so anti-Canadian.' I hate to hurt the people, the workers who   
   aren't supportive of what Trump's doing, but we had to take a stand," he   
   said.   
   Economic hardship   
      
   There's evidence that Nevadans are facing some economic challenges as a   
   result of these disruptions.   
      
   Nevada's unemployment rate, at 5.4 per cent, is the highest among the   
   states and second only to Washington, D.C., where there have been Trump-   
   induced federal layoffs.   
      
   One of Nevada's U.S. senators, Catherine Cortez Masto, was part of a   
   bipartisan delegation to Ottawa last month to meet with Prime Minister Mark   
   Carney to try and patch up relations amid what she called "the chaos of the   
   Trump presidency."
