Since taking office, US President Donald Trump has threatened steep tariffs on Canadian exports and made comments about the country becoming the 51st US state.

Canadian travel agents have said that clients have cancelled trips to the US in reaction to the president’s rhetoric. Some stores have said that shoppers are avoiding US brands.

We’d like to hear from Canadians about the new Trump administration’s impact on you so far. How have you been affected? Have you changed your shopping habits or holiday plans? Are you concerned about how any increased tariffs may affect your business? And how do you think the relationship between the two allies may have changed?
