I just spent $7 for a pound of Ontario greenhouse strawberries instead of $1.99 for a pound from California. Just as an example. My brothers and I keep texting each other Canadian products we've found to replace US options. We're far from alone.
What American media is downplaying is that this is about way more than tariffs. This is about a friendly neighbour suddenly deciding that it would like our stuff/land/people and making real threats about taking it. It's about a bully threatening our national sovereignty and everyone in his country either going along with it or throwing up their hands in despair. It's an incredible betrayal and Canadians are enraged.
(As an acquaintance of mine put it: do you know how hard you have to work to get Canada to boo your country? That's a real accomplishment, you guys.)
In terms of how things are going, here are some recent pieces from our national media:

Wow they must be having a really hard time moving product to price it like that, it’s only that cheap here in California if you pick the strawberries out of the field yourself!
