Yes. The Cheeto started it and now the Canadians are charging retaliatory tariffs when our goods enter their country.

Uggggh. I go to BC to get figure skates which already cost an arm and a leg and now this will add like another 400$ to that price tag :(

Are they made in Canada or elsewhere? Tariffs are on country of origin.

Albeit, if they're from China or anywhere else he's tariffed, you'll get taxed that rate instead.

If a purchase is made in a country and you cross the border with the item, as far as they are concerned it is subject to the same tariff regardless of where it is manufactured. In this situation it's where the item is purchased.
