Just across the US-Konad border, some small businesses personally accept tariffs.
President Donald Trump said he would balance his broad tariffs, even on some closest trading partners of the country and will lead to production behind. But for the US northern neighbors, tariffs can mean erosion of trust.
The country’s trade relations with Canada have historically been an integral part of both national economies. In 2024, trade in goods between both countries amounted to $ 762.1 billion. According to the United States’s trade representative, Canada exported more than three -quarters to the US last year, and the US imports almost account Half of all the goods he made.
However, starting in March, the Trump administration has implemented 10% of the Canadian energy tariff and 25% tariffs for other Canada and Mexico imports, which he promised on the day of inauguration. But it has released many imports covered by the US-Mexico Cape agreement.
Trump also put a 25% tariff for vehicles not assembled in the US, which came into force earlier this month, affecting both Mexico and Canada, two major car centers. In addition, 25% of the auto parts will come into force next month.
Canada responded with her own retaliation tariffs, but the national honor caused another kind of resistance.

Corinne Pohlmann is a executive vice -president for the propaganda of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business CFIB, which represents more than 100,000 small enterprises for 12 of the Canada provinces.
About half of the CFIB members are directly involved either in imports or exports from the US, the 2024 survey said. This metric does not include dependence on suppliers and customers who also trade with the US
More than a quarter of CFIB members reported in late March reported the higher demand for Canadians. More than half of the companies surveyed have agreed that the US is not a reliable trading partner.
According to entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs decide which side of the border will absorb the costs of new tariffs. Paulman reminded some CFIB members to indicate how to talk to contracts with partners south.
Paulman said tariffs cause emotional suffering except for increasing costs.
“For many Canadians it felt like a betrayal”, Poland said.
The Ontario Alcohol Drinking Council has stopped purchasing US products since March 4. The LCB Retail Store in Niagar-on the Lake stands out for the signboards that proclaim “for the good of Ontario, in favor of Canada,” explaining the disappearance of products made in the US, such as California’s guilt and Tito.

But this is not always clear.
A LCBO PRESS spokesman specified by Email CNBC that any product made in Canada, such as locally manufactured Coors Light Beer, is in order for the Gracte Shels, regardless of the company’s ownership.

“While we are the world business, our beer and drinks are usually made in the markets they are sold,” said Molson Coars Rachel Gelman Johnson, Senior Communications Director.
Tariffs are usually a “rigid force” tool that causes geopolitical changes when compulsion. The United States’s long -standing relations with such trading partners as Canada, Mexico and Japan have backed the country’s influence on the world stage.
In addition to the numbers, it is the influence of the US or the so -called “soft force” that can lead to impact.
This month, former Secretary of State Anthony Blowin said CNBC that this month’s blow to the soft power of the country is its greatest fear in the current conditions.
“The idea that we not only see how China is trying to develop a softer power, but also that we will concede … It is not useful for the country, not useful for our interests,” Binkin said.
Even if President Trump lowers tariffs, Canadian business may not be ashamed to restore trading relationship with us partners. Pohlmann CFIB pointed to lost contracts and blurred trust.
“While we welcome permanent delay from tariffs, trade relations between Canada and the US were destroyed and may never be the same again,” said Paulman.
