canada's 40th largest company, Hudson Bay, is dropping Ivanka products due to boycotts

Canada’s oldest department store chain is dropping all Ivanka Trump products.

Hudson’s Bay Company, founded in London in 1670, has already eliminated more than 150 items from its website, including clothing, shoes and jewelry. It will also phase all of the first daughter’s products out of its 90 stores across Canada in the fall.

“As part of our regular course of business, we review our merchandise offerings and make appropriate changes,” the company said in a statement. Officials cited the poor sales performance of the product line owned by the senior White House adviser.

Stores carrying any Trump family products have been the target of a boycott campaign by Canadian consumers protesting Trump administration policies. Anger about the products has been heightened by the U.S. trade war with Canada, as well as President Donald Trump’s remarks last month blasting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “dishonest” after Trudeau told Trump that Canada “will not be pushed around.”
