Canadian retailers continue to take a stand against U.S. products, starting with non-essential items such as alcohol. This move, driven by recent tariff disputes, is affecting various segments of the agricultural supply chain.
What Happened:&nbsp;Alisa Gorokhova, a resident from Quebec, observed a rapid shift in consumer behavior following tariff announcements, according <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/canadian-grocers-sideline-us-products-boycott-hit-us-agriculture-businesses-2025-3">to</a> a report by Business Insider.
&#8220;There&#8217;s suddenly &#8216;made in Canada&#8217;&nbsp;labels on things and American&nbsp;booze is gone from the&nbsp;shelves,&#8221; she mentioned, indicating a growing preference for Canadian-made products.
The boycott is a response to repeated tariff impositions by former President&nbsp;Donald Trump, including&nbsp;a 25% tax on Canadian&nbsp;steel and aluminum. Trump&#8217;s controversial remarks about Canada have further strained relations.
American businesses are feeling the&nbsp;impact.&nbsp;Ethan Frisch, CEO of&nbsp;Burlap &amp; Barrel, reported losing Canadian customers.
&#8220;We're&nbsp;not really sure how to&nbsp;handle this,&#8221; Frisch stated, as the boycott contradicts his company&#8217;s mission of supporting small farmers, according to the report.

Why It Matters: The trade tensions between the United States and Canada have escalated significantly.
Canada <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44281882/canada-retaliates-with-20b-in-tariffs-on-us-goods-amid-trade-war">imposed 25% tariffs</a> on over $20 billion worth of U.S. goods, including steel and aluminum, as a countermeasure to the Trump administration&#8217;s new duties.
This move was confirmed by Canadian Finance Minister&nbsp;Dominic LeBlanc, who stated that the tariffs would take effect immediately. The situation intensified when Canada announced additional tariffs on $30 billion of U.S. goods earlier in March.
Further complicating matters,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44344906/canadas-retaliatory-tariffs-against-us-draw-commerce-secretary-howard-lutnicks-ire-who-thinks-they-are-tone-deaf-">Canada&#8217;s retaliatory tariffs</a>&nbsp;have drawn criticism from U.S. Commerce Secretary&nbsp;Howard Lutnick, who described them as &#8220;tone deaf.&#8221;
Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44326649/does-canada-really-have-a-250-tariff-in-place-on-us-dairy-products-imported-into-canada-here-are-the-facts">claims of high tariffs</a>&nbsp;on U.S. dairy products have added to the tension, with President Trump accusing Canada of unfair trade practices.

Canadian Grocers Boycott US Products As Tariffs, Trump's Annexation Remarks Worsen Tensions: 'American Booze Is Gone From The Shelves'

A U.S. appeals court has permitted the Trump administration to temporarily enforce&nbsp;a ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within federal agencies and businesses holding government contracts.
What Happened: A U.S. appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to temporarily enforce&nbsp;a ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)&nbsp;programs at federal agencies and&nbsp;businesses with government contracts.
According to&nbsp;a Reuters report, the Richmond-based&nbsp;4th U.S. Circuit Court of&nbsp;Appeals ruled on Friday that President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s directives, including an order for&nbsp;the Department of Justice to&nbsp;investigate DEI policies, are likely constitutional.
This decision overturns a previous ruling by a Maryland federal judge.
Two judges on the panel expressed disagreement with the substance of Trump&#8217;s orders, cautioning that implementing them might risk constitutional violations.
Circuit Judge Albert Diaz stated that DEI advocates deserve praise, while Circuit Judge Allison Rushing emphasized that personal opinions on DEI should not influence the case&#8217;s outcome.
The decision affected a lawsuit filed by the city of Baltimore and three groups, which remained in effect pending the Trump administration&#8217;s appeal.
The White House and Justice Department have not commented, while Democracy Forward, representing the plaintiffs, is reviewing the decision.
Trump&#8217;s orders aim to eliminate DEI initiatives, which he argues are discriminatory, from both government and private sectors.
Why It Matters: The ruling comes amid a broader political and policy shift affecting DEI initiatives.
Recently, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44200499/national-institutes-of-health-terminates-some-research-grants-amid-political-and-policy-shift">National Institutes of Health (NIH)</a>&nbsp;began cutting funding for research grants that do not align with agency priorities, specifically targeting studies on transgender populations and DEI.
Additionally, in January, President Trump controversially linked DEI policies to a tragic&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43402439/trump-musk-blame-dei-for-plane-crash-authorities-look-at-staffing-congestion-for-answers-search-continues-after-41-bodies-found">plane crash</a>&nbsp;involving an American Airlines plane and an Army helicopter, which resulted in 67 fatalities.
This incident further fueled the administration&#8217;s stance against DEI, as Trump suggested that staffing and regulatory changes influenced by DEI could have contributed to the crash.

Trump's Ban On DEI Programs Allowed For Now By Appeals Court

In a significant escalation of trade tensions,&nbsp;Canada&nbsp;has introduced retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., prompting criticism from&nbsp;Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The move follows the Trump administration&#8217;s recent trade measures targeting Canadian exports.
What Happened: Lutnick expressed dissatisfaction with Canada&#8217;s &#8220;tone deaf&#8221; approach in an interview ahead of a meeting with Canadian officials on Thursday.
Canada&#8217;s tariffs target $15.6 billion&nbsp;worth of U.S. steel and&nbsp;aluminum, mirroring the U.S. tariffs on metals. Additionally, Canada imposed tariffs on $14.2 billion worth of other goods, including tools, computers, and sports equipment.
Lutnick criticized these measures, stating, &#8220;We&nbsp;put a tariff on steel&nbsp;and aluminum to make sure&nbsp;the dumping countries of the&nbsp;world stop&#8230;&nbsp;And what does Canada do?&nbsp;They put a tariff on&nbsp;sports equipment.&#8221;
"I mean really? This is just tone deaf," he said, according <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/14/commerce-secretary-howard-lutnick-canada-trump-tariff-response-mexico-uk/">to</a> Fortune.
Lutnick defended the U.S. tariffs as necessary for national security, emphasizing the importance of domestically produced materials for defense purposes.
He accused Canada of relying heavily on the U.S. for protection while contributing less to NATO, citing Canada&#8217;s 2024 contribution of $30.5 billion compared to the U.S.&#8217;s $967 billion.
Despite the tensions, Ontario Premier Doug Ford described the meeting with Lutnick as &#8220;productive&#8221; and expressed optimism about future discussions. Both countries&#8217; tariffs remain in place, but Ford praised Lutnick&#8217;s business acumen and negotiation skills.
Why It Matters: The trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada have been escalating, with Canada announcing plans to impose 25% tariffs on over $20 billion worth of U.S. goods.
This move <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44281882/canada-retaliates-with-20b-in-tariffs-on-us-goods-amid-trade-war">targets</a> a wide range of products, including steel, aluminum, and sports equipment. The Canadian response is a direct counter to the U.S. tariffs on metals, which were justified by the Trump administration on national security grounds.
Elon Musk-led Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has seen its products <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44321211/tesla-charging-stations-cut-from-rebate-program-by-canadian-province-most-people-would-support-their-removal-from-subsidy-list-says-minister">excluded</a> from rebates in British Columbia, a move linked to the ongoing trade tensions.
This exclusion affects Tesla&#8217;s electric vehicle charging stations and home batteries, highlighting the broader impact of the trade dispute on various industries.
Furthermore, the dairy sector has been a point of contention, with high tariffs on U.S. dairy products being a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44326649/does-canada-really-have-a-250-tariff-in-place-on-us-dairy-products-imported-into-canada-here-are-the-facts">longstanding issue</a>. These tariffs can reach up to 298.5% when U.S. exports exceed quotas set under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) has built its reputation on low prices, loyal customers, and a business model that rarely wavers. In a recent interview with <a href="https://chiefexecutive.net/the-costco-way-a-conversation-with-tony-james/">Chief Executive</a> magazine, Chair Hamilton "Tony" James reflected on the late Charlie Munger's deep influence on the company.&nbsp;
Munger, best known as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43451833/warren-buffetts-1m-bet-why-simple-index-funds-crushed-hedge-funds-by-7-1-to-2-2-over-a-decade">Warren Buffett'</a>s longtime partner at Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)), spent over 25 years on Costco's board, pushing a simple but effective message: "Stick to our knitting, our values, and our principles." That philosophy has shaped how the retailer operates to this day.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Munger's Influence on Costco's Growth</h2>
Munger wasn't just a board member—he was a true believer. He once called himself a "total addict" of the store, adding, "I love everything about Costco. I'm never going to sell a share." And he meant it. <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/11/01/billionaire-investor-charlie-munger-costco-stock/">The Motley Fool</a> reported his stake in the company was worth over $100 million in 2023.
One of Costco's most famous traditions—the $1.50 hot dog and soda combo—stands as proof of its commitment to keeping prices low. It hasn't changed since 1985, even as costs rise everywhere else.
When former CEO Craig Jelinek suggested raising the price, co-founder Jim Sinegal reportedly shut him down: "If you raise the [price of the] effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out." To save on costs, Costco switched from Coca-Cola to Pepsi in 2013.

Now, the company plans to bring back Coca-Cola products in its food courts. The company's ability to attract all kinds of shoppers, including wealthy ones, is another reason for its success.&nbsp;
James pointed out that "affluent people love a good deal." That's why Costco stocks luxury items like Rolex watches, Dom Perignon champagne, and 10-carat diamonds. A Porsche dealership in Seattle even displayed cars at a Costco warehouse once, and they sold out in a week.
But not everyone sees Costco's model as foolproof. Some suppliers have complained about its aggressive cost-cutting. A former vendor, in a post on<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/istmpc/costco_ruined_my-business_warning-and-rant/"> Reddit</a>, claimed that Costco's pricing demands forced them to slash wages and adopt unsustainable practices.&nbsp;

Tariffs are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44172672/dave-ramsey-says-no-question-tariffs-will-100-raise-prices-walmart-doesnt-pay-taxes-you-pay-taxes-when-you-buy-potato-chips-at-walmart">back in the headlines</a>, and "The Ramsey Show" co-host Ken Coleman isn't having it. In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oODl8YOhtx8">episode</a>, a caller's financial dilemma turned into a fiery discussion on trade wars, economic policy, and why tariffs hit everyday workers harder than politicians like to admit.
The caller, Isaiah from Grand Rapids, Michigan, had been steadily working his way out of debt—following Dave Ramsey's famous Baby Steps—when news of Mexico's retaliation tariffs threw a wrench into his financial plans. His employer, a medical supply company, had already moved production from China to Mexico, and now, with new tariffs in play, they were staring down "significant, significant losses." While leadership hadn't announced layoffs yet, the writing was on the wall.

</ul>
Isaiah and his wife were on their seventh or eighth week of Financial Peace University and had been making steady progress. They had $51,000 left in debt—a mix of student loans, medical debt, and an old refinance mistake—and were earning $120,000 a year. Their goal? Knock out the remaining balance in two to three years. But with potential job insecurity, Isaiah wasn't sure if they should keep throwing extra cash at debt or pause and build up savings as a safety net.
That's when Coleman jumped in, first digging into the details of the company's situation. Isaiah confirmed that roughly 17% to 18% of their business was affected by imports from Mexico. The problem? The company had fixed contracts in the medical industry—meaning they couldn't simply raise prices to offset the tariff costs. Instead, their profit margins were shrinking, which could lead to budget cuts, layoffs, or worse.
Trending: Dogecoin millionaires are increasing –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dogecoin-millionaires"> investors with $1M+ in DOGE revealed!</a>
Coleman, a longtime free-trade advocate, didn't hold back:
"That's why guys like me, free traders, I don't like tariffs. Never going to like tariffs. So don't @ me or send me hate email, I'm not going to read it. And I'm right. So we'll just leave it at that. Tariffs become taxes. It's just that simple."
His frustration was clear—this wasn't just political theory; it was real-life economics hitting a caller's paycheck. And Coleman wasn't done. He pointed out that tariffs create a domino effect: businesses struggle, prices go up, wages stagnate, and in some cases, people lose their jobs.
But what about Isaiah's original question? Should he pause his debt payoff plan?
Co-host George Kamel stepped in with a measured response:
<ul>
<li>No, don't pause just yet. There wasn't enough concrete evidence that layoffs were imminent.</li>
<li>Yes, stay alert. Keep an eye on company updates, and if job cuts start looking inevitable, then it might be time to hit pause and stack up cash.</li>
<li>Consider a backup plan. Isaiah's skills were in demand, so it might be smart to start looking for other job opportunities in case things went south.</li>
</ul>
That's when the conversation took a broader turn into headlines vs. guidelines.

Coleman warned against reacting emotionally to news cycles, pointing out that media headlines thrive on fear—whether it's a 900-point stock market drop, trade war speculation, or recession predictions. Instead, he urged listeners to focus on guidelines—financial principles that keep people secure no matter what's happening in the economy. He added, "The stuff that we teach makes you recession-proof."&nbsp;
The segment wrapped with a blunt reality check: if the government is going to impose tariffs, they need to also deregulate and cut business taxes so companies can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44227970/from-cars-to-avocados-whats-spared-in-trumps-tariff-pause">afford to produce goods domestically</a>.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In FactSet Research Systems 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Harold Hamm, oil magnate and founder of Continental Resources, issued a stark warning: if oil prices remain at current levels, drilling in key U.S. shale fields could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44168987/oil-prices-hit-multi-year-lows">come to a standstill. </a>
The Details: Speaking at CERAWeek in Houston, Hamm emphasized that with oil prices hovering near $65 per barrel, many fields are already struggling to remain viable.&nbsp;
"When you get below the cost of supply, you can't ‘drill, baby, drill,'" he told Bloomberg, per OilPrice.com.

While industry leaders have applauded the rollback of Biden-era climate regulations, Trump's trade policies—particularly his tariff disputes with Canada—are creating uncertainty and further pressuring crude oil prices. Trump has described the lower prices as "phenomenal news," but many in the oil sector are expressing concern.&nbsp;
"There are a lot of fields that are getting to the point that's real tough to keep that cost of supply down," Hamm told Bloomberg Television.&nbsp;
"When you get down to that $50 oil that you talked about, then you're below the point where you're going to ‘drill, baby, drill.'"
ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) CEO Ryan Lance also highlighted inflationary pressures and investor anxiety over Trump's unpredictable trade policies affecting the industry.&nbsp;
Scott Sheffield, former CEO of Pioneer Natural Resources, told Bloomberg Television that the price publicly traded oil drillers need to cover costs and turn a profit is between $50 and $55 a barrel. 
The oil industry could be at a turning point as low oil prices benefit consumers but pose significant challenges for producers. 
The United States Oil Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) ETF, tracking the daily price movements of light, sweet crude oil, is down more than 4% in 2025.
