A Canadian family that was planning its annual foray to the Maine Moxie Festival is canceling, blaming President Trump.

Conrad Gregoire of Kanata, Ontario, said his family of 12 is sick and tired of Trump calling Canada the 51st state.

Loyal Maine defenders had a quick retort.

“Just a spoiled lefty,” said Facebooker Mathew Field. “That’s not how most Canadians feel.”

Jared Levesque of Jay called Gregoire’s whining “ridiculous.”

The Gregoire family was hoping to go to the popular yearly Moxie festival in Lisbon, Maine, but it’s pulled the plug out of Trump pique.

“Our prime minister went to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President Trump and to inform him that Canada had decided to spend $1.8 billion on increased border controls, aimed at curbing illegal immigration,” Gregoire said. “President Trump took this opportunity to ridicule our prime minister by repeatedly referring to him as the ‘governor of the great state of Canada.’”

Seems Trump in Canada is about as divisive as is Moxie in Maine, where natives are famously divided on its taste.

The primary reason for Moxie’s unique taste is the gentian root extract, which gives it a slightly bitter-though-herbal quality.

Moxie was designated the official soft drink of the of Maine in 2005 by Gov. John Baldacci.

The soda was created in 1884 by a Maine native, physician Augustin Thompson of Union, and is among the first sodas ever to be produced.

“And quite possibly the worst tasting,” according to Gastronomica.

Maybe so, but Gregoire was looking forward to his annual Moxie fix.

Then Trump won re-election and took all the fizz out of the Canadian’s vacation plans.

“He has not let up his call to make Canada the 51st state,” Gregoire added. “His negative statements about Canada have been untrue.

“For the above reasons, we have decided to cancel our trip to Maine and to forgo future visits to the U.S. until we feel more welcome.”

That’s just fine with Jeff Holt of Mechanic Falls. Holt said fewer Canadian tourists means “a shorter line at Pier Fries” in Old Orchard Beach “and more room for the rest of us.”

“Like your prime minister is a prize. Get real,” he told Gregoire on Facebook.
