A number of Canadian retailers recently took new measures to start marking "T" letters on US imports, representing "tariffs" (Tariffs), reminding consumers that the price of these products may increase due to tariffs. This move has triggered a strong response from Canadian consumers, and the shelves of local products are often empty.
According to reports, Loblaw, one of Canada's largest retailers (with about 2,400 stores), announced on March 10 the introduction of "T" labels on U.S. imports that may be subject to tariff increases. As these warning labels have been gradually rolled out over the past month, consumer purchasing behavior has changed significantly.
According to a poll released by market research firm Leger on April 17, 76% of Canadians have increased their purchases of locally produced and sourced goods in recent weeks, the highest figure since the company began tracking the behavior in mid-February.
