The new tariffs that Trump put in place are really changing how we see trade in Canada. What I find most interesting is how one country's choices can have a domino effect around the world. To be honest, I'm a bit concerned about how these tariffs are creating so much uncertainty for Canadian industries that rely on selling their goods abroad. It's kind of shocking that these aggressive trade tactics keep happening, even though they cause so many problems.
If you ask me, the key thing for Canada to do right now is to spread out its trade relationships and find new markets. We can't depend on just one or two partners. It's also vital that our Canadian businesses become more competitive on a global scale; innovation and training will be fundamental. We need to look inward and reinforce our domestic market too, so all the different provinces and territories can trade more with each other. That way, we are less dependent on international trade.
When it comes down to it, I think Canada needs to get tougher and be ready for unexpected challenges from other countries. We need to create policies that protect our industries and workers from sudden changes in the global economy. That might mean investing in education and job training programs to help people adapt to new opportunities, or offering support to industries that are struggling because of the tariffs. It’s not going to be easy, but I believe that with smart planning and a willingness to adapt, Canada can weather this storm and come out stronger in the end. We also should try to negotiate trade deals other countries too.
