CFIB talks about what Canada can do to help small business during this “trade war”

A 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian goods is coming into effect / has come into effect.

We spoke with Julie Kwiecinski, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business’ Ontario Director of Provincial Affairs, who said if the government wants to help level the playing field, it should start by looking internally.

Another way to support Canadian businesses during a “trade war” is to make life easier, not harder—in other words, cut the red tape.

We also spoke with Kwiecinski about the upcoming provincial election and what small businesses hope to see happen after voters go to the polls on February 27th.

That story will be posted later this week.
