‘We need to lean more on each other,’ says owner of Turtle Island Market

Two Indigenous business operators in Nova Scotia say they’ve had to make adjustments to their business practices to contend with the implications of U.S. tariffs.

Jason Hartung is the owner of Turtle Island Market, an e-commerce business that sells digital art, canvas paintings, clothing and other items featuring Indigenous art.

He told CBC News that he has stopped sourcing products from American suppliers due to the uncertainty that has been impacting Canada-U.S. trade relations since President Donald Trump took office in January and began threatening to impose 25 per cent tariffs on a host of Canadian goods.
