The Ben & Jerry’s ice cream company is facing calls for a boycott on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border after its comments about Canada Day, a day to celebrate the founding of Canada, and July 4, Independence Day in the United States.

The development follows the recent large-scale boycotting by conservatives of Bud Light and Target in the United States due to the companies’ transgender-related marketing and product offerings.
