The Walrus Talks at Home: Tariffs |
|
Discussing what the U.S. trade war means for Canada, both now and in the future. |
|
The “America First” policies of the new Trump administration have dramatically altered long-standing US trade relationships. Despite our status as a trusted ally and major trade partner, Canada has been a target in the brewing global trade war. The on-again-off-again nature of the tariff attacks makes it more difficult to develop a strong and sound response.
Join us at The Walrus Talks at Home: Tariffs to discuss what the upending of the postwar global trade order might mean for Canada. Which sectors and supply chains will be most impacted? How can small and medium-sized businesses – the backbone of our economy – survive in a rapidly shrinking market? How will the cost of living change, and how will workers be affected? How can Canada’s governments work with First Nations to build infrastructure quickly, to ensure crucial exports reach ports and terminals on time?
With nearly four more years before the next U.S. election, Canada may be in the teeth of a very long trade war. Join us to discuss what “elbows up” means for Canadian consumers and businesses. |
