********* businesses preparing for Tuesday’s imposition of tariffs are leaning into the “buy *********” sentiment.

Grocery chain Loblaw Companies Ltd. has committed to securing more food grown and made in Canada, after U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs to be enacted Tuesday.

Per Bank, the company’s CEO, made the commitment on LinkedIn over the weekend. He also said Loblaw would seek ******** alternatives for products it would usually purchase from the U.S., since Mexico is also facing the tariffs.
