In Windsor, Canada, President Trump's looming tariffs on Canadian goods and comments about wanting Canada to become the 51st state have created a climate of fear and uncertainty. As one of Canada's most trade-dependent regions, Windsor's economy hinges on the automotive industry, which is already wary of the potential impact. Economists predict these tariffs could trigger a recession, with local businesses worried about immediate repercussions. The atmosphere has turned somber, with industry leaders fearing that high tariffs could halt production entirely, threatening jobs and economic stability in the region.
"It feels like a funeral," said Jonathon Azzopardi, president of Laval, an auto parts and equipment manufacturer, describing the bleak atmosphere following tariff threats.
Businesses in Windsor fear the tariffs could completely grind the auto industry to a halt, impacting economic stability and local employment.
Trump's stated targets, tariffs of up to 25 percent, threaten to plunge Canada's economy into a recession, particularly affecting regions reliant on U.S. trade.
The ongoing uncertainty and alarm over potential tariffs have left Windsor's businesses feeling betrayed, confused, and fearful about their economic future.
