February 2, 2025
U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs started a wave of patriotic pushback this weekend from Canadians declaring that they were swapping American items off their shopping lists and cancelling their subscriptions to leading streaming services.Mr. Trump’s plan to impose 25-per-cent tariffs on Canadian goods starting Tuesday has prompted fears of an economic shock that will throw hundreds of thousands out of work. The federal government immediately responded with retaliatory tariffs as political leaders urged the public to shop local and cancel holidays in the United States.
