If Trump were to put a 25% tariff tax on Canada, what would happen to Canada?

To Canadian Business.

It would make it hard for businesses to get supply since it's more expensive in the US (Canada's biggest trading partner). So Businesses would have to supply from foreign countries which would be hard.

The tariff would cause the Canadian dollar to weaken, causing businesses in Canada to increase their prices or lose profit margins for not increasing prices.

Because of the higher consumer prices, consumers would spend less which will affect Business.

Higher costs for import dependent businesses.

Lots of layoffs in import dependent businesses.

To Canadians.

Because of the tariff consumer prices in Canada would increase for goods, since businesses would have to increase their prices to combat the tariff.
