Depends how they import products. Canada uses a lot of layaways in the US during shipping. There are also big ports in Alaska that are landing spots for items set to enter Canada.
If those are hit, then they will pass those increases to Canadians.
It’s going to be key now to cull the US. But I’m seeing HUGE increases in US only pricing. So yeah, not a good start for that shit hole.
They also increased prices in Canada, by 7-15% afaict.
eg: MX Master 3S went up ~14%, $140 to $160.
I’m pretty sure that’s due to rare earth metals and China. All I know is it likely won’t be a blanket increase like most think.
I'm more wondering if corporations are going to corporation and just use the US tariffs as the excuse for globally up the prices.
Sony already did that with the PlayStation didn't they?
They absolutely will, but no one wants to go alone. First they have to collude, which may already be happening.
Already every commercial I hear on the radio is talking about "tariff pricing".
So far no, it doesn’t look like it. No one wants anything to do with hiking prices and less to do with the US.
