OTTAWA — A campaign is calling on Hudson’s Bay Co., Winners, and other retailers to stop carrying brands owned by members of the Trump family, as frustration rises over tariffs on Canadian goods entering the U.S. Maclean’s columnist Scott Gilmore is among those calling for a boycott. Gilmore, a Conservative Party member who is married to Liberal MP and environment minister Catherine McKenna, compiled a list of companies to boycott, including The Bay, Lord & Taylor, and Walmart. Many of them carry clothing from Ivanka Trump’s fashion line. HBC is staying out of the matter for now. In an email to CBC News, spokesperson Tiffany Bourré wrote that the company “respect[s] our customers’ right to choose the brands that work for them. In turn, our customers’ choices inform our decisions on which merchandise we offer.”
