Canada’s Retaliation to US Tariffs

On March 12, CNBC reported that after the European Union, Canada also announced that it would impose retaliatory tariffs on US goods. Canada has imposed a 25% tariff, mainly targeting steel and aluminum, but will also hit some of the other US exports, including computers, sports equipment, and cast iron products. CNBC’s Megan Cassella while analyzing this move mentioned that the economic impact of these tariffs can be estimated beforehand as this is very similar to President Trump’s first term when he imposed similar tariffs. She noted that President Trump had imposed similar tariffs in 2018, but later had to carve out many countries because of the economic impact. Although there was some modest help for the local aluminum producers back in 2018, however, all steel and aluminum users were impacted and as a result the overall net economic impact was negative.

While quoting research by the Federal Reserve, Cassella noted that tariffs boosted employment in manufacturing by around 0.3%. However, the rising input cost dragged down the same sector employment by around 1.1% and retaliation pulled it down another 0.7%. Therefore the net economic impact at the end was recorded to be -1.4% to the sector, which accounts for a direct loss of around 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Moreover, economists at the Peterson Institute estimated that there was a cost of about $900,000 for every job saved or created in the steel industry. Cassella further elaborated that as of yet the goal of these tariffs remains unclear, due to which the consumers and the manufacturers in the industry are confused as well.

On the other hand, these tariffs add to the economic challenges Canada is facing which include slower population growth, federal policy ambiguity, and inflation. According to Deloitte’s January 2025 Canadian economy forecast, the economy is anticipated to remain positive with 2% GDP growth expected during the year. While the outlook by Deloitte has not factored in the economic impact of US tariffs, it suggests that the government would have to lean in to support the business and local production to fight off the impact of tariffs and enhance productivity.
