It is feared that strong tariffs of the United States will be imposed on Tuesday on the imported goods of the three largest commercial partners in the United States, Canada, Mexico and China, could alter the car industries to consumer and energy goods.
After threatening tariffs for weeks, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced on Saturday that they will enter into force, with a 25 percent tax on Canadian and Mexican imports, and an additional tax of 10 percent on the Chinese products. Canadian energy faces a 10 percent rate.
To counteract US tariffs, Canada will begin by slapping 25 percent tariffs on US goods worth $ 30 billion that arrive in Canada as of Tuesday. Tariffs will apply to another $ 125 billion in US imports in three weeks.

Some Canadian industries have quickly reacted to the commercial war.
This is how tariffs that, according to Trump, will be imposed on Tuesday and Canadian retaliation measures that begin the same day can have an impact.
Cost of living
“Trump’s tariff hammer will be reduced with Canada’s economy,” said Montreal Bank on Sunday. “If the announced tariffs remain in place for a year, the economy would face the risk of a modest recession.”
The bank predicts a reduction in the demand for Canadian goods in the United States due to Trump’s taxes; The interrupted supply chains as companies try to navigate through uncertainty; and higher prices of goods in Canada due to the retaliation rates of Ottawa.
“For Canadian households, this means an increase in the prices of multiple consumer goods, including edible, appliances and especially vehicles,” said your Nguyen, economist at RSM Canada, in a statement, and added that Canadians should also expect a smaller selection of goods as the importation of American products slows down.
“The depreciation of the Canadian dollar could mitigate exports prices for American importers, but this exacerbates pain for Canadian companies and consumers.”
While the president of the United States, Donald Trump, launches a commercial war against Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urges Canadians to buy products manufactured in this country and consider not taking vacations in the United States.
Unemployment
Nguyen said that dismissals and greater unemployment can also be expected.
“Loss of jobs in all industries should be expected, from manufacturing to tourism and transport,” he said.
“The highest prices decrease demand, which means that the aggregate demand for goods in the US. And Canada would fall, which would lead to less jobs.”
Nguyen said that greater unemployment will further reduce the demand for services, particularly impacting the restaurant, hospitality and entertainment industries.

Automobile manufacturing
The North America’s car manufacturing industry could face production closures in Canada, the United States and Mexico because it is such an integrated sector and directs a “very efficient” supply chain, said Brian Kingston, president and CEO of the Association of Manufacturers of Canadian vehicles.
Strong tariffs from the USA would have a “very immediate and serious” impact on that supply chain, he said, and that Americans soon have to disburse thousands of dollars more for a new vehicle, due to more expensive pieces and components .
“The automotive industry is going to hit very hard,” and it will not be possible to find other short -term markets, “said Flavio Volpe, president of the Association of Automotive Parties manufacturers and member of the Prime Minister’s Council in Canada -and relations.
“Ultimately, Americans have to defend themselves and their own interests. Some of them will align with us,” said Volpe, citing much higher inflation as a possible result of tariffs. He said that the affected industries should support the federal government to remain difficult during the negotiations.

Steel and aluminum
United Steelworkers, the largest industrial union in North America, has criticized Trump’s tariffs in Canada, citing about $ 1.3 billion of the United States. In commerce between the two countries.
“These tariffs not only hurt Canada. They threaten the stability of industries on both sides of the border,” said international president of the David McCall union in a statement.
The Canada Aluminum Association called 25 percent of American tariffs on all Canadian goods that are directed to the south “highly disruptive” to the integrated economies of the two countries.
“Unfortunately, this situation will impact workers and consumers in the United States with the immediate increase in the price of aluminum,” said the president and CEO of the association, Jean Simard.
The group says that some 9,500 Canadian workers produce the metal that is processed and becomes daily pieces and products for more than 500,000 US manufacturing workers, generating more than $ 200 billion in economic production only in the economy of the United States .

Beer, wine and liquor
American alcohol will disappear from liquor stores in Manitoba, Ontario, British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and New Scotland in a sample of support to the Ottawa plan aimed at ensuring that the US will perform tariffs. Ontario joined those provinces on Sunday to say that he will eliminate alcohol from store shelves, starting Tuesday, when US tariffs enter into force.
Ontario Prime Minister Doug Ford said that the United States alcohol will no longer be available in LCBO stores. As the only alcohol wholesaler in the province, the LCBO will also eliminate the products of its catalog so that restaurants and retailers cannot order them or replenish them. Each year, LCBO stores sell almost $ 1 billion of CDN in American wine, beer, liquors and seftzers.
On Saturday afternoon, BC prime minister, David Eby, ordered the BC liquor distribution branch to stop buying the American liquor of “Red State” and draws the existing stocks of stores immediately. EBY described the measure “a declaration of economic war against an ally and trusted friend.”
On Sunday, the Prime Minister of the National League, Andrew Furey, said that US products will be extracted from all liquor shops throughout the province, and urged residents to support provincial and federal efforts to face “the American bully of beside”.
Energy
The energy sector faces a lower rate, to 10 percent. But the CEO of Energy, based in Calgary, a Junior oil producer that operates in Alberta and Saskatchewan, said Sunday that the impact will be “silenced.”
Paul Colborne told CBC Rosemary Barton Live that tariffs on energy will be “shocking” but that “it is still very commercial as usual” for its company because it pre-negotiated a price for its oil and locked up, a practice known as coverage to help mitigate the impact of non-anticipated The price falls to oil and gas producers and their income.

Crop production and animals
Russ Mallard, president of Atlantic Beef Products and president of the Canadian Meat Council, said the beef market market may not be available suddenly.
Mallard said that 35 percent of all Canadian res products are sent to the United States that close or limit the US market could open market opportunities in new countries, he said, but that would only happen in the long term.
“If that market is suddenly closed or not available … that means that res of res could possibly stay here in Canada, and it will take time to find new markets,” Mallard said. “That means that prices for producers … as well as processors will probably fall.
“Short -term implications can be good for consumers, but for long -term implications, it will probably be negative for industry.”
A new 25 percent rate takes the “total uncertainty” to the agricultural sector.
