P.E.I. businesses promote local shopping in response to U.S. tariff threats

Businesses in Prince Edward Island are promoting local shopping in response to potential U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports. A pizza restaurant offers discounts for customers who show receipts for Canadian products, while a market highlights local goods with clear labeling. Restaurants like The Table Culinary Studio are sourcing all ingredients from Canada, emphasizing the benefits of supporting the local economy. This shift reflects a growing awareness among consumers about the origins of their purchases. Local governments are also joining the effort. The City of Summerside has prioritized buying local, and Charlottetown is developing its own buy-local campaign. Premier Dennis King encourages Islanders to be mindful of their purchasing choices.
