Canada's new consul general in New York gave presentation
Roughly 350 business people hearing how to find new markets amid the US tariffs at a recent Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce event, called Niagara is at a Crossroads.
CEO Mishka Balsom tells us the tariffs remain the biggest threat to Canadian business.
She doubts President Donald Trump's claims money is pouring into the US. "We also have to remember that we can't just change the supply chain overnight. These have been relationships that have been in place for many, many years."
Canada's new consul general in New York, Susannah Pierce spoke to the meeting.
She adds businesses doubt things will return to normal after Trump leaves office. "People are looking for some certainty. A headline could change that to uncertainty tomorrow, and that would be extremely difficult for businesses."
She says Donald Trump is not the first president to consider tariffs.
