Donald Trump’s oral threats towards Canada are proving to be beneficial for an entrepreneur, as the new US President’s combative approach has given him an idea.
Liam Muni, the founder of the Ottawa -based design firm, created a hat written “Canada is not for sale” in response to Trump’s tariff threats and suggestions to make Canada a 51st US state.
These caps attracted attention after Ontario Premier Doug Ford wearing a hat during a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other Prime Ministers in Ottawa last week to discuss Trump’s resolve to impose tariffs on imports from Canada.
According to Muni, since then thousands of hats have been ordered online.
Muni told Reuters that he has designed these caps as a constructive refutation of President Trump’s rhetoric, which aims to cut a political discourse with a message of nationalism and unity.
“It is an opportunity to bring people of all citizen society together regardless of political pressure,” Muni said.
Tariffs will paralyze Canada’s economy and also increase the price of oil and other items in the United States.
Trump is threatening tariffs during the political upheaval in Canada, Liberal leader Trudeau is going to resign in March after being in power for almost a decade and later this year later this year is ahead in the opposition Conservative elections before the federal election later this year.

Money said that he and his business partner designed caps after seeing one of Ford’s recent interviews on Fox News. The host urged the Prime Minister to consider the merger, suggesting that Canada’s merger with the US would be a “privilege”.
Ford replied that Canada is not for sale.
Trump on Thursday spoke via a video at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, saying he demands honor from Canada. He has previously addressed Trudeau as a “Governor”.
Money said, “When our dignity is disrespectful, our sovereignty is in danger.” “We have allies and are our friends all over the world who are ready to stand on call and protect us.”
