US steel and aluminum tariffs will hurt aluminum-dependant towns in Quebec

Imposing a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum could disrupt supply chains and drive up prices for everything from auto parts to canned goods. But for some towns in Quebec, the impact could be even more disruptive. The aluminum sector employs more than 40,000 people in Quebec, and the economies of some small towns are almost entirely reliant on aluminum production.

US steel and aluminum tariffs could stifle investment in Quebec aluminum sector

Aluminum-producing towns in Quebec are bracing for the impact of new US tariffs imposed on steel and aluminum. Quebec accounts for about 90 per cent of Canada鈥檚 aluminum production, and the tariffs will affect more than just aluminum producers. 鈥淭he tariffs may not lead to layoffs at aluminum plants,鈥� said Professor of Operations Management Saibal Ray in an interview with Global News.

US tariffs to hit natural resource-producing communities hard

US tariffs will hit the Canadian economy hard, but individual industries will experience unique effects. In the case of aluminum production, much of Canada鈥檚 3.2 million metric tons of aluminum that Canada produces each year could be re-routed to Europe. But some communities could still be hit hard and other places that harvest natural resources won鈥檛 be able to find other buyers so easily.

Inflationary effects of possible US tariffs are unknown, but could already be affecting consumer behaviour

With the spectre of tariffs looming over the Canadian economy, should you hurry to buy an appliance before the added costs get built into their prices? There is no clear answer, and it is not yet known how much tariffs could affect prices, but according to Professor Saibal Ray, the way people think about tariffs could be as important as the tariffs themselves.

Wind-powered shipping could make a comeback鈥攂ut it won鈥檛 work for everything

Wind has been powering the economy for centuries. Long before giant aluminum windmills were fed into the electric grid, wind filled the sails of ships plying the open seas. French businessman Guillaume Le Grand wants to bring back wind-powered shipping, and his company is already shipping French goods to North America that way.
