Probably something Japanese. Not that it would matter anyway since all cars will go up with tariffs.

I am not going to over-engineer my response and live life as before tariffs.

If something feels too expensive and I do not need it, then I will not get it.

If I really need something and it cost more, I am still going to buy it.

As is Lidl

And they stock a ton of Canadian products, which is why they are on especially my watch list.

I ordered a car from Japan a while ago and it should be at the dealership next week. I missed the tariffs by @ a month.

If you don't have a freeze dryer, I'd recommend one. Wife and I garden and run it constantly in the summer.

I will probably not make very many changes. I have been trying to limit buying anything from China for at least 5 years

Percentage of manufactured items from China:

Ibuprofen - 90%
consumer car tires - 80-85%
T- shirts - 85-90%
consumer batteries - 65-70%
cell phones - 70-80%
footwear - 60%
power tools - 80- 90%
baseball caps - 40%

This list is just a smattering. Things are about to get expensive, then hopefully, level out.

I’m not aware that I’ve ever bought anything that was made in Canada.

I won't.

I'll buy whatever I need or want at the best price, just like i always have. I don't give a shite where it's made or who made it.

Well I don't know if that percentage is bullshite or not, but I do know China is far and away the largest tire producer in the world.

For people they dislike so much they certainly call out for them frequently.
