#i don't mean to encourage impulse purchases but like if you're running low on printer paper maybe now is the time to run to Staples

To all my fellow Canadians:

If you have been putting off making any purchases, may I encourage you to do that RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.

Trump's tariffs against Canadian goods have give into effect, and Canada's retaliatory tariffs are going into effect on Tuesday. This will affect:

Pretty much any food product

Furniture of all kinds

Clothing, fabric, yarn, wool, linen, cotton...

Technology: LEDs, household appliances, phones, computers, etc.

Video games and game consoles

Board games! I wish I was joking!

Lumber and wooden items.

Paper and paper products, including books, notebooks, binders, folders...

Office supplies

Alcohol

And so much more! All this will increase in price by 25% in the very near future. So, brace for impact, stock up on necessary items, and hope for the fucking best.

ETA: well, Trump seems to have backed down for the time being. We'll see what happens in the meanwhile, but keep your eyes peeled.
