Hell last time that the US blocked beef from here it was massive. That spurred the whole I heart Alberta beef campaign that took right off. People were boycotting places that would not loudly advertise they served Alberta beef. Now though, whatever.

While meat is a multi-billion dollar export, it is small compared to energy exports. IMO it's better to stick to a simple message using energy as it also has a strategic importance for Trump since his first administration, as well as something that could theoretically affect the entire US economy (at least a little bit).
