Honey Farms Hit by U.S. Tariffs | Edmonton News
Description
The U.S. just slapped a 50% tariff on Canadian goods, crippling small businesses like Podolski Honey Farms in Manitoba — whose honey used to flood south of the border — and forcing them toward bankruptcy. The trade spat erupted after U.S. demands, including threats to Canadian sovereignty over French language rights, derailed negotiations. Prime Minister Trudeau called it an unfair ultimatum, and Canada is now retaliating with matching tariffs after Labour Day. Business groups back the tough stance, urging Canadians to buy local to cushion the blow. Both sides hope for a swift resolution — because beekeepers on both sides benefit from this cross-border trade, and nobody wants the honey to dry up.
