U.S. tariffs continue to weigh on Canadian investment and growth
Ongoing U.S. protectionist measures are reducing Canadian real GDP potential and discouraging long‑term investment.
Analysis featured in The Globe and Mail highlights that U.S. tariffs are projected to reduce Canadian real GDP by about 1.5% by the end of 2026 relative to earlier forecasts. The measures increase trade uncertainty, raise costs for Canadian exporters, and deter productivity‑enhancing investment. Transitioning supply chains away from the United States is described as both time‑consuming and costly, amplifying the economic risk to key Canadian sectors.
