Concerns are mounting over President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, particularly affecting Ontario’s vital automotive industry. Ontario Premier Doug Ford warns that such tariffs could devastate jobs in both Canada and the U.S., as many automakers rely on cross-border supply chains. Tariffs could significantly raise vehicle costs and hinder production. Despite a recovery in automotive manufacturing post-pandemic, industry uncertainty remains, heightened by the transition to electric vehicles. Ford urges collaboration between Canada and the U.S., advocating for a focus on mutual benefits rather than imposing tariffs on close allies.
