U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats on Canadian products, not to mention his planned tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, have sounded alarm bells in the Canadian auto sector. Experts warn that these costly tariffs could trigger work stoppages and supply chain disruptions. But what if our country could just build its own cars for Canadian consumers to purchase? Sadly, experts also side against that idea, suggesting that Canada should look outside the ‘north-south’ corridor. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Peter Frise, a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Windsor. He also founded Canada’s first program in automotive engineering and lead Canada’s national automotive research network from 2001 to 2015. Meantime, Canadians are opting against vacations to U.S. states in retaliation to Trump’s international taxes. And over the past few weeks, the numbers don’t lie. Travel expert Barry Choi examines which American destinations will feel the biggest gut-punch to their tourism revenue.
