Although U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday, March 6, extending duty-free access to certain products from Canada, he is maintaining others. The issue, which has attracted a great deal of attention in Quebec this week, inspired the Neomedia team to ask the survey question. 

Before that date, and since March 4, all Canadian products crossing the U.S. border have been subject to 25% tariffs. For minerals and energy, the tariffs were 10%. 

Since taking office, Donald Trump has signed seven documents, decrees, proclamations or presidential directives on the imposition of tariffs on his trading partners. 

At a press conference last January, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau specified a list of products whose prices will be revised upwards.  The list is as follows: 

- Wine;

- beer; and

- American whisky;

- Orange juice;

- Coffee; Tea; 

- Tea; Rice;

- Rice;

- Chocolate; 

- Tobacco and cigars; 

- Make-up (lipstick, eye pencil, nail polish); 

- Shaving products, deodorants, shampoo, toothpaste and dental care; 

- Dishes and utensils;

- Household appliances;

- Fruit and vegetables;

- Vegetables;

- Bathtubs, showers, sinks and washbasins; 

- Doors and windows;

- Tires for trucks, cars, motorcycles and bicycles;
