HOW TO NAVIGATE THE RISING TARIFFS IN CANADA

I don’t know about you but tariffs have been the talk of this side of town all week.

So the U.S. slapped a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum, and in retaliation, Canada has threatened to pull all American liquor off their shelves and also ban US companies from bidding on contracts.

What does this mean for you? 

• US Imported liquor, orange juice, peanut butter and other household staples will become super expensive or scarce.

• The cost of basic home appliances & furniture will be affected

• Cars and even downright to sports gear & cosmetics might take a hit too

To beat this, here’s the smarter move to make: Shop Canadian.

It’s time to swap your grocery list for local picks over the imported ones you’re so used to.
