Why are things in Canada much more expensive than in the States?
Is there anything Canadians can do to mitigate these higher costs?
One thing that Canadians can do is to try and buy locally-produced goods, as these are less likely to be affected by currency fluctuations and tariffs. Additionally, it’s also a good idea to shop around and compare prices, as there can be quite a bit of variation between different retailers. Finally, some Canadians may choose to cross the border into the US to do their shopping, although this can be inconvenient for those who live far from the border.
