As a US citizen who has watched all of our jobs leave the country - and the middle class gone in the usa - makes me proud to be an american .....
Short term pain for the long term good of the people.

I lived in midwest for the beginnings of my youth into uoung adult hood-
if your from the midwest you should have seen almost every corp and large manufacturer leave the country and build their products over seas.
whats left ? How are the middle class non college educated americans suppose to buy a home? a new car? take a vacation ? Marry and have a family? Workimg for fast food chains do not support a family - those are college kid and hi school kid jobs not wealth building jobs. Americans need a path to success and manufacturing jobs can pay way more than burger king and have a path to grow as a person and succeed in this country
If you cannot see that and understand it - well ...... your part of the problem - trump is the solutiom

Do you think having an additional tax levied by the US government on the American consumer will increase or decrease sales (given that the US represents Logitech's largest market (36%), and 81% of sales in the Americas region)?
If you suspect it might decrease sales, what's the quickest and easiest way for that company to regain lost revenue or profit?
I mean, I'm not saying this would definitely be something Logitech Canada would do, but it's a fairly straight forward example of how international businesses may react to the massive disruption, chaos and uncertainty being caused at the moment... it would be naïve to think there aren't going to be global repercussions.
Perhaps buying from an American company would be a good start? Corsair just bought Fanatec, the wheel's probably still made in Taiwan, but at least it's an American company creaming the profits.

Regardless, there seem to be a few things that could affect prices in Canada. Logitech's major distribution centers are currently in the US and Europe. It's possible the goods come in to the US before they are transported to Canada.
The next is Logitech will have to decide how it changes prices, how much of the tariffs it passes on to the consumer. I wouldn't entirely rule out some of the cost being passed on to consumers in other countries or the effects of counter tariffs.

Here in the UK we were told the same thing prior to Brexit. 9 years later the gain is nowhere to be seen, but as for the pain...

I paid € 899 two weeks ago directly from Logitech. Even got a free RS Shifter and a headset worth € 200 I don't need.

Price still up in Canada. Must be punishment for all the illegal shifters and pedals that cross the border.

I don't know Logitech's Logistics chain but it could simply be that they are imported to the US before being forwarded into Canada, thus adding the tariffs there as well.
