Canadians overwhelmingly support boycott of Chinese goods amid disputes: Poll

Toronto, Jun 30 (Sputnik) Canadians overwhelmingly support a boycott of Chinese goods amid a number of disputes with China, most notably the detention of two Canadian nationals by Beijing, an Angus Reid Institute poll revealed.
The arrest of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou and the two subsequent detentions of former diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor as well as a number of other disputes have brought diplomatic relations between Canada and China to its lowest point in years.
“While many observers note that Canada is in a difficult spot, with few options to pressure the Chinese government to release Kovrig and Spavor, many Canadians (81%) feel that they should boycott goods made in China to send a message,” the findings released on Monday said.
