As Ottawa slaps retaliatory tariffs on the U.S., life in Canada — for everyone from the average consumer to some of the country’s largest manufacturer sectors — stands to get more expensive.

Effective Tuesday, the Canadian government is imposing 25 per cent counter-tariffs on $30 billion in goods imported from the United States in response to Trump’s executive order imposing a 25 per cent surcharge on Canadian goods, as well as a 10 per cent one on energy imports.
