Canada and the US saw talks collapse at the 11-TH HOUR. The US has imposed 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods; Canada will levy equivalent retaliatory tariffs from Sept. 8. An Angus Reid Institute survey shows Canadians began curbing US purchases after the US tariff threat in July: 40% of grocery shoppers and 39% of alcohol buyers say they now check country of origin and largely choose Canadian or other non‑US products; 52% say they probably or definitely will not buy US cars, 60% say they will not buy US liquor, and more than 70% say they will not buy US eggs and dairy.
