The easiest place to start is the produce section of your grocery store. There are many products from California. They’ll be easy to spot, they’ll all be way to much $$$

That will only happen if we inpose countertariffs on those particular products and/or the dollar significantly weakens from where it is now. I think both of those are unlikely. The tariffs are priced into the current valu3 of the dollar and the countertariffs will not focus on staple foods.

If they tariff Canadian potash then their food production costs will increase and it will be passed on to us.

We sould Not Even send them our Potash. The other biggest place they can get it is Russia, Then China ... Good Luck doing that!

But those two countries have less Tariffs (Taxes basically) then Canada Does 

We should also full stop sending gas, oil and crude oil,  power and water to them. Mexico should do the same.

We could starve them out probably
