40 Million Canadians can choose Canadian products and services every day to make Canada stronger more more local friendly with choices from your pocket book. Due to its short growing season, Canada imports a significant amount of produce from the United States and Mexico: roughly 80 per cent of fruit and 60 per cent of vegetables are imported, according to the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute. So even for consumers who want to buy local, it can be challenging especially in the middle of winter. “Right now, because it is the cold season we have to get a lot of stuff from the States, primarily from California,” says Jake Burkhart, one of the managers at Lady York. “So with those tariffs, it’s going to be a large hit to the industry.” It’s not clear how broadly U.S. President Donald Trump will apply tariffs or if it will be at the rate of 25 percent which he has threatened for months.

So I do see Ottawa slapping a tariff on those products because sometimes they are seen as less healthy and that could resonate with a lot of people.”
