Most Canadians would avoid buying U.S. products post-Trump tariff: Nanos survey
A majority of Canadians would be hesitant to buy U.S. goods in response to the proposed American tariff on products from Canada, according to a new survey.
A majority of Canadians would be hesitant to buy U.S. goods in response to the proposed American tariff on products from Canada, according to a new survey.
The findings of a recently released Nanos Research survey suggest a tariff on Canadian exports into the U.S. would, for two-thirds of Canadians, negatively impact the likelihood they'd purchase U.S.-made goods.
On Nov. 25, U.S. president-elect Donald Trump said he would impose a 25 per cent tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico until the two countries clamped down on drugs, particularly fentanyl, and migrants crossing the border.
yes, but what goods are even made in the us these days?
I always get a good laugh when I see a giant "PROUDLY MADE IN USA" sticker that has a big US flag.
and it's on a plastic tub. Or a bucket. I think the plastic brush I use to clean my cast-iron pan is from the US, but again it's just a lump of plastic.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the most common USA-produced good I interact with is oil.
It's not manufactured goods, but Canada imports a lot of produce from the US.
During the last Trump administration, I avoided buying American-grown fruit and vegetables whenever I could.
Canada Imports from United States was US$277.04 Billion during 2023 https://tradingeconomics.com/canada/imports/united-states
Are you typing this from a computer or phone? Those are often “made in USA” even if the product comes directly to Canada from China.
Plenty
I might as well cancel my Amazon prime membership
Please do that anyway.
5 per cent would be somewhat more likely to buy U.S. products
7 per cent would be more likely to buy U.S products
🤔
Weirdly, there are MAGAts in Canada.
NAFTA/USMCA working hard to complete its mission. :/
Well.... Would we bring back jobs such as producing copper pipes....
We mine it and send it to China and pay incredibly high prices for a product that we produce in vast quantities....
The same goes for clothing and food let's face it...
We produce enough dairy for our needs, the smae for wheat and wood....
So... We could be auto sufficient.... But prices would rise... But jobs would also be in higher quantities
I used to work at a Saskatoon clothing manufacturer in the 70s, back when we hadn't sold our souls to unfettered capitalism.
Why we aren't funding farmers to grow flax (for linen) and hemp - along with funding for local manufacturers to make the fabric - is beyond me.
Can’t say I blame y’all. 🫤
Doubtful. They might tell a pollster that but there's a big gap between that and making actual changes and even sacrifices in terms of purchasing decisions.
I sure as heck would not blame them. I mean it would not be that hard to ship goods between canada and mexico.
A fair amount of raw materials pass over the borders in the production of so many things that even if they are Canadian made parts and materials may have tariffs on them.
