What does Trump’s presidential win mean for Manitoba and Winnipeg? We explore the economic implications of the recent U.S. presidential election and its potential ripple effects on trade, tariffs, and industries critical to Canada and Manitoba. Key insights: ➡️ Trade tension ahead? With a focus on tariffs and deportations, Trump’s policies could disrupt Manitoba’s major exports like canola, pork and pharmaceuticals. ➡️ Economic stakes: Canada’s trade dependence makes us particularly vulnerable. Retaliatory tariffs could hurt both economies, but especially industries with complex supply chains like auto manufacturing. ➡️ Strategic response needed: Understanding U.S. priorities and presenting a united "Team Canada" front will be crucial to navigating these challenges. This analysis unpacks the numbers, trade flows and potential impacts in detail—essential reading for policymakers, businesses and anyone invested in cross-border trade.
