An American couple paid for everyone’s meal at a Canadian restaurant because they claimed they ‘hate’ what Donald Trump is doing to them.
The president signed an order to impose ‘catastrophic tariffs’ to ‘hold China, Mexico and Canada accountable for their promises to halt the flood of poisonous drugs into the US’.
The order reads: “There is growing production of fentanyl in Canada, and enough fentanyl was seized at the northern border last fiscal year to kill 9.8 million Americans,” the order claimed. “Additionally, illegal border crossings from Canada reached historic new highs every year for the last four fiscal years.”
One couple disagreed with this and decided to show their support by paying for every customers food at a Canadian restaurant.
The couple, named Sarah and Bill, kindly paid for everyone’s meal to show their support to the Canadian patrons.
Aileen Ganley-Mutter was at the restaurant when the couple were there.
“We were all kind of shocked because that doesn’t happen, because there’s about 50 to 60 people in there,” she said.
Some customers offered to pay their own way or add money for a tip, but the couple declined and said it was ‘the least’ that they ‘could do’.
“They said […] they weren’t going to stop supporting Canada and loving Canada, and they felt bad for the rift that it was causing, so it was just very generous,” Ganley-Mutter added.
Co-owner May Hermiz also spoke out, sharing that she was ‘stunned’; “Everyone was cheering. They were cheering them on and they were applauding.”
Hermiz shared that the woman said: “she hates what the United States is doing to us and she doesn’t support it. And she’s so happy we won the hockey game and it’s a little token of appreciation for Canadians and how much she loves us and how much she loves supporting local.”
