50 Canadian Businesses to Support as the US Increases Tariffs

If you've seen any new clips over the last 72 hours, you know that things aren't looking good right now for international trade. The man running the country below us is imposing 25% tariffs on most Canadian-made goods. Now more than ever, it's important for us to band together and shop locally as much as possible. Not only is shopping Canadian going to make daily essentials more affordable, it's also going to help support our local businesses, and hopefully prevent more small businesses from closing their doors this year. No matter the industry, or who you are, we're all going to feel it in some way or another. So scroll down for 50 Canadian small businesses you can spend your hard-earned money with.
