Amid the threat of a tariff war, an overwhelming majority of Canadians (85 per cent) say they plan to — or already do — replace American products when shopping, according to a new poll from the Angus Reid Institute.

The results show that about half of the respondents polled (48 per cent) say they will replace any item that has a substitute, while 37 per cent plan to replace items when they can find something that is a similar price and quality.
