Fantastic, thanks again! Looks like I’ve got some reading to do.

Oh that does look very useful, thank you!

Thanks for your reply! That makes a lot of sense to me.

Astounding that Ontario buys that much US liquor, and reducing that market will certainly have an impact on the US economy!

As an aside, other than oranges I won’t miss any of those items, and I know there are alternative options for oranges!

Thank you for the response! I haven’t seen a lot of specifics about the Canadian tariffs, but maybe I just haven’t been looking in the right places. It makes a lot of sense to target particular items which have Canadian alternatives, and to put pressure on Red states as u/IslandLife mentioned below.

Edit: I was wondering why the word “Teriff” didn’t look right. Apparently my phone decided that was the proper way to spell Tariff.

Just so I’m clear, if/when Trump imposes tariffs on Canadian goods entering the US, Canada plans reciprocate with equal Teriffs on US goods entering Canada?

I/we know and understand that teriffs are basically an import tax, paid to the government by the companies which are bringing the product in, and generally that cost is passed down to consumers in the form of a higher price tag on goods.

Is the end goal here is to bolster our own economy by making US goods prohibitively expensive for Canadian citizens to buy, in turn making Canadians more likely to purchase Canadian goods (which is what we are trying to do anyway)?

What is stopping this from hurting out economy the same way it will likely hurt the US economy?

I feel like I need a stronger understanding of the situation.

Yes!! Libraries are so important for our communities.

Getting a library card also may also get you access to Libby and Hoopla, which have free ebooks and audio books, as well as magazines and graphic novels! Hoopla has music albums as well, and Kanopy which has tv shows, documentaries, and movies.

Insert the “having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card” meme here.

I looked it up! She was british-Canadian! I remember reading so many of her books in middle school, they were great! My school library labeled books by Canadian authors with a maple leaf on the spine, so I tried to read as many of those as I could.

Margaret Atwood is the first that comes to mind… I’ve enjoyed all that I’ve read by her!

Life of Pi by Yann Martel is another popular one.

I’m a sucker for Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery too.

I had to look up top Canadian Authors to see what/who I’ve read, and I discovered one of my favorite recent YA fantasy authors lives in BC… Rachel Heartman (although she was born in the US so I don’t know if that counts, lol).

Apparently Kobo Plus offers unlimited ebooks and audiobooks for $10/month. Not sure how that compares to audible, because I haven’t used it.

I like Libby, which is free and run through your local library, although it’s not a Canadian company.

Hoopla is another free library app.

Ooh, I just found another option on well.ca

Organika pink lemonade electrolyte powder

Someone already mentioned apps, but another one to look at is cloud storage and email services, and switching to local storage(ie, hard drives) and/or non-US services if possible.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but Wake water has a couple powdered zero sugar electrolyte (and energy) drink mixes, and Roar has some low sugar berry lemonade hydration/antioxidant powders.

I have been in the market for a good water bottle/canteen/tumbler and these look like a great option! Thanks for sharing!

I haven’t bought from here yet, but this company looks promising!

Motley Woollens

If it’s the one at the Lawson mall its at the back and to the right from the entrance, behind the hair and stationary supplies, I think.
