With the threat of punishing U.S. tariffs hanging over Canada, the city of Toronto is exploring ways to buy more domestic products, and launching a campaign urging residents to do the same. At a city council meeting Wednesday marked by patriotic speeches, members unanimously approved a plan for a “comprehensive, multi-faceted ‘Buy Local, Buy Canadian’ campaign” that would encourage residents and businesses to purchase “locally made Canadian goods and services.” According to the wording of the motion, the effort would help protect Toronto and Ontario jobs in the event U.S. President Donald Trump follows through on his proposed 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian products. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/yes-i-spell-honour-with-a-u-toronto-council-affirms-canadian-independence-in-face-of/article_048b2722-e3cf-11ef-b0d5-ff47b1d1f62e.html
