What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

Donald Trump's trade war with Canada has involved tariffs on goods ranging from steel to snowmobiles, with Quebec being cited as the hardest hit province due to its dependence on international trade. The Quebec government estimates that 60 companies employing 30,000 workers are currently threatened by the trade war with the United States. These trade tensions are also a major issue discussed during the campaign leading up to the October 5 election in Quebec.
