The government of Canada is funding a billboard campaign designed to influence Americans to not support any threatened tariffs by the government of the United State being imposed on Canada.

The billboard campaign is set to target states that do the most trade with Canada and voted for Donald Trump in 2024.

The first of these billboards have now appeared in Michigan. They have been spotted along US 131 near Grand Rapids. The billboards are electronic, so they rotate with other advertisers rather than a static paper billboard.

The billboards carry messages such as:

Tariffs Are a Tax on Hard Working Americans

Tariffs Are a Tax at the Gas Pump

Tariffs Are a Tax on your Grocery Bill

See images of the boards here.

Each of the boards carry a small message stating they're paid for by the government of Canada as well as the government's logo in the lower righthand corner.
