US-Canada Tariff Escalation Hits Small Businesses and Honey Producers
The US-Canada trade dispute has intensified with new 50% tariffs on 110 Canadian product categories, including furniture and steel, effective September 15, 2026. Small businesses report declining sales and rising costs, while Canadian honey exporters face a 50% US tariff that threatens the industry. Canada has retaliated with its own tariffs and is accelerating efforts to diversify away from US economic dependence.
