Here's the full list of US products getting hit with tariffs in Canada today

If you've been keeping up with the latest trade drama, buckle up — things just got serious.

After a 30-day pause, the Trump tariffs on Canada are officially back, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau isn't wasting any time hitting back.

As of today, the United States has officially imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian exports and 10% tariffs on Canadian energy. According to Trudeau, these U.S. tariffs are completely unjustified, and Canada won't be sitting idly by.

"Canada will not let this unjustified decision go unanswered," Trudeau said in a statement Monday evening, confirming that retaliatory tariffs would take effect at 12:01 a.m. EST today.

Starting Tuesday, Canada is slapping new counter-tariffs on U.S. products, targeting $30 billion worth of American goods. And that's just the beginning — Trudeau says an additional $125 billion in tariffs will roll out in the next three weeks if things don't de-escalate.

So, what does this mean for Canadians? Well, it's going to hit home in a big way. The government hasn't just picked random U.S. products — these tariffs are strategically placed to put economic pressure on American industries while minimizing the fallout for Canadians.

But that doesn't mean we won't feel the pinch. Everyday items like groceries, household goods and vehicles are on the hit list, which could mean higher prices at the checkout.

To soften the impact, the federal government is encouraging Canadians to buy local and support homegrown businesses. So, if your go-to grocery staples or favourite American-brand products are on this list, you might need to rethink your shopping cart.
