    Isn’t it that they have their own counter-tariffs against the US including, unfortunately, Canada, but if anything, Canada is opening up to Europe.

      Walmart told investors they are raising prices in the US to compensate for Trump’s tariffs but he freaked out at them and now they are raising their prices worldwide instead.

        Are they forgetting that in other countries there are other stores that don’t have HQ in US?

          Aldi, Lidl, Tesco and Carrefour will be happy to eat their lunch

            I don’t know, but it seems to me, in Toronto at least, that price increases have tapered off in the past 10 to 20 months.

            I think that most of the places I shop are Canadian-owned, and I’m barely even trying to shop Canadian, or non-American, out of some supposed patriotic duty.

              And here I thought we were discussing the prices of non-US stuff going down in the near future not that the price increases have tapered off in the last year or two.

              Perhaps, as a Canadian, stuff from Europe (and Asia, and Latin America) might go down a bit.

                They might. I don’t know. If Trump sticks to his guns and keeps or raises the tariffs, and/or continues to go nutty with his “maybe-I’ll-raise-them-maybe-I-won’t” schtick, Europe, Asia, and Latin America will be so fed up with MAGAt USA they might dump some of the excess inventory on us, to the benefit of Canadian consumers.

      Why would they include Canada in counter Tariffs against the US?

      That makes absolutely no sense and smells like fake news

        I seem to have written it poorly. Sorry, people.

        I meant that Canada, like much of the world, has imposed retaliatory tariffs against the US.
