I see "Maple sugar and maple syrup" on the list. That will show Canada who is boss.
Seriously though, I'd imagine an extra 25% cost on US food goods will lead to them being sourced somewhere else rather than pay that.

Every damned spreadsheet should have the header locked so that you can quickly know what you are looking at after row 25. You can't change my mind.
I want to apologize to you guys. I’m sorry you’re forced to suffer for my country’s stupidity voting in this dipshit. You don’t deserve this.
I do love that your government is clapping back against the bully, because only terrible things follow when you appease fascists.
But it’s regular Canadians getting squeezed in the middle as a consequence. For both our sakes I hope this ends soon
I appreciate the sentiment, but please gather together with your friends and neighbors and fix your country's shit.
No, I don't have a step-by-step plan to give you, it's your country, you should know better than me what's effective where you live.
I feel the same way. On the one hand, there’s nobody else I’d rather have slap sense into us than one of our closest allies. But average Canadians don’t deserve to be wrapped up in our godawful drama. Here’s hoping they can hit us hard enough to get back on the right track sooner rather than later.
Disappointed to not see Tesla on the list. Target the oligarchs behind this.
Well old Doug the drug dealer did step up.
Hopefully that will be on the second round of teriffs i n 3 weeks?
yea, throw a nice 50-100% tariff on those
Those are imported from the Shanghai factory, apparently
Fuck me thats a long list. Here's a summary in the order I found them. Probably missed a few, I'm on mobile and it's Sunday...
While it is an extensive list, none of those are things that we can't get elsewhere, or that we don't already make ourselves.
Or things that we can't do without for a while.
- Various fruit+veg.
Stick with local produce. We grow a lot in Canada.
- Beans.
Nearly all the beans/legumes on store shelves are from Canada.
- Nuts.
This one is difficult, especially almonds. We do have a thriving seed industry: hemp, flax, etc.
- Coffee.
What coffee comes from the USA?? Canadian roasters are everywhere and they import beans from South America.
- Tea.
Same as above, get your tea from Japan, China, India, etc.
- Various seasonings (vanilla, nutmeg, pepper, etc)
Seasoning blends are very often from the states, but look for local blends. Or get single spices and make your own! Or go ethnic, and get spices from Asia, Mexico, etc.
- Grain.
Canada grows wheat, oats, wild rice, barley, rye, etc. No issues here. Get Asian rice if your worried about rice.
- Cooking oils.
We produce a lot of cooking oil in Canada. For olive oil (not really a cooking oil), go with Italian.
- Sugar.
China, Brazil, and India produce more than the US. We can get it from them.
- Chocolate.
Go with Swiss chocolate.
- Pasta.
Plenty of made in Canada pasta. Go with Italian if you want another option.
With the exception of citrus, some processed junk food, and a few odds and ends, Canada is quite food secure.
If animal products are a concern, stop eating them. Make tarrifs your excuse to go plant-based this year 👍
I am so so so glad I'm vegan. Also the fucking H5N1 virus is bad news bears. Now is really a good time to stop eating animal products even for your own safety because holy fuck.
Just to note that American rice tends to have high levels of heavy metals. So even without tariffs you shouldn't be buying American rice.
Turkey. Turkey is a big one
Video game consoles
Seems like this is limited to arcade machines and playing cards.
Other games, operated by coins, banknotes, bank cards, tokens or by other means of payment, other than automatic bowling alley equipment
Playing cards
Just immediately stop sending electricity and oil. At any price.
It would do less damage to the Canadian economy than these tariffs and be resolved a lot sooner.
Debating heading out to stock up on deodorant and other storable goods. Not that I want to buy American right now, just that historically domestic alternatives simply raise prices to match the tarrif product prices in an effort to profit take.
That's a reasonable thing to do. Simply because it doesn't go bad and you don't know what'll happen just now.

Oh wonderful I wanted to switch to Deezer anyway. And I use Qwant and Brave already.

These are all digital services. Europe has strong data protection and privacy regulation. The US tech billionaires throwing in their lot with the Trump administration gives them plenty of leverage if push comes to shove.
I also love the NDP idea to target the techbro CEOs by putting a halt on critical minerals exports to the USA.
Tariff Item No. 1205.10.00
Rape from the US is now being taxed. I guess I'll just stick with Canadian rape, keep it local.
One of the worse named plants of all time, thanks Latin.
And that's why we renamed it "Canada oil" aka Canola
Canada Oil Low Acid, to be precise.
