💡 Why it matters
Shoppers on both sides of the border will face higher prices and clearer product origins, reshaping buying habits.
Loblaw is bringing back country-of-origin signs and 'T' tariff indicators on produce as the US-Canada trade war escalates, while US toilet paper prices are surging due to 25-50% tariffs on paper products.
