She also called off a trip that she had planned for later in the year to New Orleans.
"There is something that has been irrevocably broken now, after centuries of the US and Canada being allies," Ms Morelli, 39, told the BBC.
The threaten of import taxes, she said, plus Trump's remarks that Canada could become the 51st US state, "have made something snap in us all".
Trump had vowed to slap a 25% tariff on both Canada and Mexico this week, citing issues with border security.
