Most Canadians would avoid buying U.S. products post-Trump tariff: Nanos survey (www.ctvnews.ca)

A majority of Canadians would be hesitant to buy U.S. goods in response to the proposed American tariff on products from Canada, according to a new survey.

The findings of a recently released Nanos Research survey suggest a tariff on Canadian exports into the U.S. would, for two-thirds of Canadians, negatively impact the likelihood they'd purchase U.S.-made goods.

On Nov. 25, U.S. president-elect Donald Trump said he would impose a 25 per cent tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico until the two countries clamped down on drugs, particularly fentanyl, and migrants crossing the border.

I used to live in Washington state, and canadians would come across the border and buy up all the pop tarts bcz they didn't have the ones we had (not sure if they didn't have them at all, or the ones we had were better)

But point t is, the shelf would be bare after the weekend from people flocking to buy them out.

Just about anything to do with food is because Canadian versions (much like European versions) don’t have as many nasty ingredients. Just look up Canadian vs American Froot Loops as the most visually striking example (food dyes that are ok in USA but illegal in Canada & EU). I’ve heard Oreos taste completely different in The States too.

Just thought of another example… Americans driving south to get Mexican Coke because they were still using sugar cane instead of high fructose corn syrup.

They still do use that sugar cane, some folk swear it's the best Coke you can drink

Puts on tinfoil hat… Ok, so I heard, the Mexicans couldn’t keep up with demand for cane sugar Coke in border towns so they had to start using HFCS to be able to pump out enough product. Because of more relaxed labeling laws they didn’t have to tell anyone.

On a more serious note, have you ever tried Jones Soda? They use cane sugar and they make the best cream soda you’re ever gonna taste. Probably harder to find now that every corner store has wiped out all beverage inventory in favour of beer. Seriously, it’s just beer and energy drinks now.

Jones Soda is great.

That's why I only drink water precipitated upon leaves in the morning sun

I call it Mountain Dew

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You do the Dew, do you? Higher caffeine American condensed water vapour or the weaker Canadian stuff?

Only what I can collect in the morning before the sun dries it up and grizzlies come out to eat my ass
