Why are my prices going up?

The tariffs mentioned in the story are taxes on imported goods. When Canada taxes US products, those US goods become more expensive for Canadians to buy. Businesses often pass these extra costs onto customers, meaning you might see higher prices for everyday items like furniture or steel products, as economists in the story warn.
