PRINCE GEORGE – With so much uncertainty regarding the United State’s possible tariffs, what can Canadians do to soften the possible blow? Local experts suggest that consumers need to engage in ultra-localized commerce to navigate their impacts.
UNBC School of Business instructor Charles Scott says that Trump’s potential tariffs will allow Canadians to forge new connections in their business practices.
“ We have gotten used to a lifestyle that gives us things for cheap based on getting them from anywhere in the world. However, as the world has become more vulnerable, the US has stepped back from being the global policeman, and we’ve had more wars and more trade tensions. We have reverted towards a more regional world.”
