Canadian retailers brace for rising prices as U.S. tariffs and Canada’s retaliatory measures stir trade tensions, hitting sectors like furniture, cosmetics, and dairy first. Businesses may stockpile non-perishables now, but if tariffs persist, consumers will foot the bill — a delicate balancing act amid surprisingly resilient spending. Smaller firms face added risks to sales and investment, while efforts to find new global suppliers are slow and costly. Economists watch for a compromise; without one, inflation could climb. Government support will be key in shielding businesses — and shoppers — from steep price hikes. Diversifying supply chains is the long-term goal, but don’t expect overnight fixes.
