Your favorite products hit by Trump’s new 50% tariffs on Canada

President Donald Trump's new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods impact whisky, dairy products, hockey gear, and many other products.

The United States' new 50% tariffs on various Canadian goods went into effect on Saturday morning, following the collapse of trade talks the previous night. These tariffs encompass a wide range of products, including alcohol, dairy, construction materials, hockey equipment, and more.

Mark Carney, Canada's Prime Minister, suspended negotiations after the United States proposed last-minute changes that were deemed unfair. The new tariffs are a response to Canada's trade discrimination against American products, such as cars, dairy, and alcohol.

Popular Canadian whisky brands, such as Crown Royal, Canadian Club, and Black Velvet, could see a significant price increase. Crystal Head Vodka, made from Canadian whisky, may also be indirectly affected. Hockey equipment, such as sticks and gloves, is also included in the tariffs, though some brands may not be impacted if they are not produced in Canada.

Dairy products, including milk, cream, and powdered dairy, are on the list, while cheese was not included. Other affected items include motorcycles, honey, clothing, plants, essential oils, dog leashes, construction materials, paper, smartphones, and more. The trade dispute between the two countries has been ongoing, with both nations imposing retaliatory tariffs on each other's goods.
