Fuel is understandable because with the threat of a world wide drop
in business, and possible recession, the price of oil has dropped.

The other things will take a little longer. Imported food will
obviously go way up in price but American grown stuff shouldn't
change, other than they may lose markets outside of the USA and
have to charge more to stay afloat.

Power.. If we finally hit back with reciprical tariffs on the
electricity that Canada sells you, that will make a pretty big
difference to millions of people close to the border, and then
shortages caused if you stop buying from us will possibly raise
prices for everyone as the power companies have to come up with
ways to generate more electricity..
