Canadian industries and provinces most exposed to U.S. tariff threat

By Salim Zanzana – Proof Point, RBC

The threat of U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports has put Canada’s strong dependence on trade into sharp focus. Disruptions or restrictions to the flow of goods and services across the U.S. border could seriously harm Canadian businesses and communities—and ultimately—the broader economy. While there’s considerable uncertainty about whether tariffs will be imposed, and if so, at what rate and on which products—some industries and regions are more exposed to losing access to the U.S. market.
