So she's like, this is Brad and his family who grow the pistachios you all love in California. And let me tell you a little bit about Shirley, my pecan supplier in Arkansas. Alex is thinking, if I just introduce them, my customers will love them as much as I do.

Yeah, really. Regular Canadians decided to retaliate against Trump's policies, too. But in effect, that meant that they had to fight against Alex, a Canadian, and her business decisions. It's a weird position for Canadians to be put in. And we wanted to hear their side of the story, how they are making these decisions about how to fight in the trade war.

But now, there is the political will. These tariffs are acting like a great unifier in Canada, bringing Canadians together against a common enemy, the U.S. The Canadian government says that interprovincial trade is really big, worth about 20% of the country's GDP.

Makes it hard to figure out what he wants to buy.
