Maker House, an Ottawa gift shop, reports record sales growth due to a surge in support for Canadian-made products amidst U.S. tariffs threatened by President Trump. February saw a 150% increase in sales, with ongoing strong sales leading to an 80% year-on-year increase. Popular items include T-shirts and chocolate bars featuring Canadian themes. Many Canadians have committed to boycotting U.S. goods and travel. A majority supports local products, and the trend shows resilience against waning interest in boycotts, with a reported decline in Canadian travel to the U.S.
Sales surged by 150 per cent in February at Maker House after U.S. President Trump announced tariffs on Canadian goods, driven by the Buy Canadian movement.
Founder Gareth Davies attributes a strong ongoing sales trend, currently up by 80 percent, to Canadians supporting local products in response to U.S. threats.
