Canada's construction news
The chaos generated by U.S. President Donald Trump constantly shifting the goalposts on tariffs has rankled the construction industry and caused uncertainty on both sides of the border.
Across the country, provinces and individual municipalities are trying to figure out how to best insulate themselves from the negative effects of tariffs. The city manager and relevant city divisions have been directed to develop a campaign that will encourage spending to further develop local economies through the purchasing of local goods and services.According to the motion put forward by Coun. Mike Colle, with recent threats from the president to impose a tariff on Canadian products and services, it is important that municipalities, businesses, and residents across Canada stand up for the country, as well as the economy, and businesses.
The city’s plan will include a review of its contracts and procurement policies to ensure Canadian businesses are prioritized for municipal contracts. The city will also look at existing deals with American suppliers and create a wider Toronto Action Plan. In Manitoba, a digital advertising campaign, called Support Manitoba. Buy Local, has been launched that includes a website with links to made-in-Manitoba and made-in-Canada products and businesses.Quebec’s approach is to create more jobs at Hydro-Québec and fast-track the construction of infrastructure in health, education and public transit sectors.
