Just read an article about how overseas shippers have been flooding warehouses up here in Canada stockpiling cheap goods destinated for the US market, hoping for the tariffs to get dropped soon:

Article notes that if the tariffs don't get dropped shortly, the cost of warehousing will exceed the tariff cost, and the goods will get dumped into the Canadian market. (Win? Maybe?)
Then we have companies that set up their distributor model to be North American wide, screwing Canadian consumers (adding in tariff overhead for them and taking it as profit) because they still route their goods through the US: https://petapixel.com/2025/04/30/leica-raises-prices-in-canada-to-reach-price-parity-with-tariffs-in-the-us/ https://petapixel.com/2025/04/30/leica-raises-prices-in-cana...
Everything is a mess
