Since tariffs were threatened, there have been a few noticeable changes at the Canadian border. First, there seems to be an increase in traffic as Americans rush to purchase items that might see price hikes due to tariffs. Many people are taking advantage of the current prices, particularly for goods like lumber and aluminum.
Additionally, I’ve noticed that some Canadians are becoming more cautious about what they stock in their stores, anticipating potential shortages if tariffs are implemented. There’s also a heightened sense of awareness and discussion around the economic implications of these tariffs, both in Canada and the U.S.
Overall, it feels like there’s a shift in consumer behavior as people adapt to the potential for increased costs and seek to mitigate them while they still can. Have you experienced any specific changes on your trips?
