Canada's Tariff Response and the Small Business Struggle | Canada News
Description
Canada’s rushing to launch new programs to cushion small businesses hit by U.S. tariffs, but high eligibility bars may leave home-based makers and tiny shops out in the cold.

Critics argue these retaliatory tariffs are just hidden taxes on Canadians already struggling with inflation — raising a tough question: can trade fights ever be won without hurting everyday people?
