Canada, the country neighboring the United States to the north, has experienced significant effects due to tariffs on goods exported to the U.S. These impacts extend across various aspects, including Canadian identity, national politics, and the economy. Small businesses, in particular, are noticeably affected by these changes.
To understand the implications of these tariffs, an examination of the situation in Nova Scotia, an Atlantic province, was conducted. This province is home to Clark’s Harbour, where the local fishing industry exemplifies the challenges faced by small businesses in the current economic climate. The image of a fisherman in Clark’s Harbour, captured by Jackie Northam of NPR, highlights this perspective.
