What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

New tariffs have been imposed on key Canadian industrial sectors, leading the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) to call on the government to boost growth and jobs. These policies have increased costs and reduced demand for the Canadian mushroom industry, and have also increased overhead costs for small businesses that rely on Canadian imports. Tariffs imposed by Donald Trump in March 2025 devastated Canadian coffee exports to the U.S., which were down roughly 40 per cent in February.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The trade war with the United States is cited as a reason for difficult economic figures in Ontario, which saw 16,700 job losses in June. The CFIB noted that small and medium-sized businesses are responsible for 50 per cent of the economy, making trade policy changes critical to economic resilience.
