  • For shippers: Reassess suppliers—either absorb costs or seek alternatives.​

  • For freight brokers/carriers: Increased demand for LTL shipments as shippers adjust order sizes.​

  • For U.S. consumers: Anticipate higher prices on Canadian imports like vehicles and timber.​

  • For Canadian consumers: Retail prices may rise if companies pass on increased costs.

​"Our tariffs will remain in place until the U.S. trade action is withdrawn," declared Prime Minister Trudeau. ​
