Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Donald Trump’s concerns about the border are valid, as the president-elect threatens sweeping tariffs on Canadian goods.
Trump announced Monday that on his first day in office he would impose a 25 per cent tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada. He said the tariffs would remain in place until the two countries clamp down on drugs and migrants crossing the border illegally.
Yedlin said recent policies from the federal government aren’t helping the sector during a time of negotiations, citing the emissions cap, Bill C59 and clean electricity regulations. “It’s an impact in terms of, costs will go up, our dollar will go down, it was down , so our terms of trade decrease, so everything is more expensive. What do we have to pay for goods? What do we have to pay for services? So that means we don’t have as much disposable income if costs go up.”
"This is something that we can do. Laying out the facts, moving forward in constructive ways. This is a relationship that we know takes a certain amount of working on and that's what we'll do.”Nationally, the U.S. is Canada’s largest foreign customer, accounting for $595 billion in 2023 – 89 per cent of total exports – according to a report fromThe Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.
