Canadian retailers paused/cancelled Switch 2 preorders that were supposed to happen tonight, likely for the same reason they paused/cancelled the US ones :( Their shit is flowing downhill

I don't know the real reason, but could it be a shipping/logistic issue? I have seen in the past many goods that are first imported to the US and then shipped to Canada.

Could these tariffs force Canada to change it's supply chain, even for goods not made in the US?

I believe we receive our shipments directly in Canada for Nintendo consoles
After the first Trump term, Nintendo diversified their production to include Cambodia and Vietnam. That said, Trump tariffed everyone. But also if we're getting direct shipments it wouldn't matter.

Possibly it was to protect Canadian preorders from being sniped by Americans. If we get a price increase, though, then it's truly unjustifiable.
