Calgary Mayor to Address U.S. Tariff Threats Impacting Local Industry

Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek will address the city's industries this afternoon about the potential impact of U.S. tariff threats. Her office notes that these tariffs could affect the city's oil, livestock, and small businesses, and she will offer suggestions to mitigate the effects.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced tariffs on sectors including oil, gas, agricultural products, dairy, and alcohol. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce recently reported that cities like Calgary, St. John, and Windsor could face significant economic losses due to these tariffs.

A recent report also highlights that many Alberta business owners are considering relocating to the U.S. to avoid the added costs.
