Canada’s counter-disremorates harm small businesses. Even so, many still support them

Troyhann Santos checks the latest list of counter-tale of the federal government and makes an overwhelming discovery. To leave immediately, she will have to pay a 25% rate on most goods in her butt store in butt, Lax Shack, Pickering, Ontario.

“Getting hit with something like that is terrifying,” said Santos. “It’s a terrible punch.”

Billion Dollars and thousands of jobs are at stake while Canadian companies are attacking the prices of US President Trump, most of which should take effect on April 2.

Now, some companies not affected by Trump’s prices learn that they will not be emerged from trade war, because the goods they import from the United States are struck by Canada’s counter-tale.

The problem is particularly worrying for small businesses, which often do not have deep pockets to help them resist the storm.

Last week, the federal government imposed its first series of reprisal prices at 25% on $ 30 billion in American products, such as many types of foods and household appliances.

On Thursday, after Trump imposed prices on steel and aluminum exports, Canada retaliated with more prices this time on 29.8 billion dollars in American products. Targets include American steel, aluminum, some electronics and – unfortunately for Santos – sports equipment.

Almost all the butt equipment it sells, including sticks, bullets and nets, is imported from the United States

“We have expeditions that arrive daily, so it will affect us immediately,” said Santos. “We will have to increase our prices to reflect this 25%increase.”

She is not the only small business taken in the cross -fires.

Cluck Clucks, a small but growing fast food chain in the Toronto region, says that counter-trials could harm its expansion plans.

The Fryers, which cost up to $ 27,000 each, are made of steel and shipped from the United States, because Canada’s duties include steel cooking devices, Clucks Clucks estimates that it will now pay 25% more for each new purchase.
