How is Canada managing to replace U.S. imports, like fresh produce and home appliances, with goods from other countries?

My washer and dryer are from the UK. My induction cooktop is from China.

I used to get milking cans and machines from the US. Then I started getting them from S. Korea….they’re a third of the price and work well. I’ve tried one from China but was less impressed with it. The metal doesn’t seem as rust resistant and I don’t like the lid fit.

At this point, we look at labels. If it comes from the US, it stays on the shelf. There really isn’t anything I’m having a hard time replacing with stuff from somewhere else except for some of my cheese cultures. They’re selling out so fast up here….so I improvise. Still not buying them from the states.

You don’t get to threaten to invade us and insult us and expect us to do business as usual with you.
