I don't know, but it seems to me, in Toronto at least, that price increases have tapered off in the past 10 to 20 months.

I think that most of the places I shop are Canadian-owned, and I'm barely even trying to shop Canadian, or non-American, out of some supposed patriotic duty.

And here I thought we were discussing the prices of non-US stuff going down in the near future not that the price increases have tapered off in the last year or two.

Perhaps, as a Canadian, stuff from Europe (and Asia, and Latin America) might go down a bit.

They might. I don't know. If Trump sticks to his guns and keeps or raises the tariffs, and/or continues to go nutty with his "maybe-I'll-raise-them-maybe-I-won't" schtick, Europe, Asia, and Latin America will be so fed up with MAGAt USA they might dump some of the excess inventory on us, to the benefit of Canadian consumers.
