Canadian business and political leaders are voicing concerns about Donald Trump's pledge to impose a 25-per-cent tariff on all Canadian goods coming into the United States. They argue that such tariffs would harm businesses on both sides of the border and weaken North America's economic and geopolitical strength.
Business and political leaders in Canada have expressed concern over Donald Trump 's pledge to impose a 25-per cent tariff on all Canadian goods. Trump has stated he will sign an executive order to impose the tariff, which will remain until Canada and Mexico stop drug trafficking and illegal border crossings.
The Canadian American Business Council's CEO Beth Burke noted that the proposal would harm businesses on both sides of the border and weaken North America's economic and geopolitical strength. Ontario Premier Doug Ford and British Columbia Premier David Eby highlighted the potential devastation to workers and jobs in both countries. Quebec Premier François Legault emphasized the need to avoid the tariffs. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith mentioned the Trump administration's concerns but stressed the majority of Alberta's energy exports are through secure pipelines. According to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, a 10-per-cent tariff across-the-board would result in around $30 billion per year in economic costs for Canada and US$125 billion for the U.S
