PRODUCTS MADE IN CANADA

Published February 3, 2025

Canadian consumers are protesting U.S. President Donald Trump’s punitive tariffs and boycotting American products as trade tensions escalate.

With imported goods about to get pricier, many shoppers are turning to made-in-Canada alternatives to support local businesses.

Online forums are already buzzing with Canadian product recommendations, as citizens rally to boost the domestic economy.

BMO Economics analysis warns that if these tariffs remain for a year, Canada could face a mild recession, with unemployment potentially spiking to 8% from the current 6.7%—similar to pandemic-era levels.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has doubled down on his push for Canadians to “buy Canadian”, encouraging consumers to keep their dollars within the country.
