Canadian officials make their voices heard against prices through digital display panels in several states.

The campaign is a strategic investment in the long-term economic interests of Canada and its trade relations with the United States,” said Babcock. “Prices are a tax on Americans who work hard in their daily life. They lead to increased costs on essential elements of everyday, including fuel and grocery. The goal is to increase understanding of the American public and to counter disinformation.”
