U.S. President Donald Trump’s 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports officially went into effect on Tuesday morning, effectively launching a trade war with Canada and Mexico at 12:01 a.m.
Over the past several weeks, many Canadians have already started to shift their shopping habits and support made-in-Canada products and businesses. Since the trade war officially kicked off, the desire to shop local is higher than ever. In a recent Yahoo poll, a whopping 98 per cent of respondents said they planned to further shift how they make purchases.
Finding Canadian alternatives to American products can be challenging, which is why we’ve put together this handy guide on Canadian fashion and beauty brands.
If you’re an avid fashion and beauty lover like myself, I’ve rounded up some of the best Canadian options to shop.
