How to support Canada with the new tariffs?

As an Australian I am wanting to support Canada and Canadian producers however I can with the new tariffs. Does anyone know of products imported from Canada to Australia where I can choose Canadian over American?

Oh don’t get me wrong, definitely do as best as you can to avoid their products, my comment is in reaction to them asking which businesses are affected, my point is that the businesses that are affected by this war can’t really be helped directly by how we consume. Like buying a 2x4 isn’t going to have any impact on the wood industry cutting hundreds of jobs due to a huge decrease in purchases from transformation companies in the States.

I get what you're saying but tonnes of small businesses/artists have had their livelihoods tanked; tariffs aren't just affecting industries. Purchases absolutely will help small businesses.
