Amid uncertainty over U.S. trade tariffs, a well-known Canadian brand is calling on consumers to rally behind homegrown business.

Napoleon, a major manufacturer of barbecues, fireplaces, furnaces and air conditioners is publishing an open letter expressing disappointment in U.S. trade policies. The letter, appearing as a full-page ad in the Toronto Star, urges Canadians to rally behind homegrown businesses.

“It’s extremely important to choose Canadian products right now,” says Chris Schroeter, co-CEO of Napoleon.
