Our Canada Connections: How some Canadians are responding to Trump's tariffs
For decades, Minnesotans and Canadians have been friends and trading partners. But President Trump’s tariff policies have raised questions about the future of the relationship between Minnesotans and our neighbors to the north.
MPR News host Angela Davis and Chris Farrell, senior economics contributor for MPR News and Marketplace, drove up the North Shore and across the border to talk with Canadians living in Thunder Bay, Ontario. On the way, they talked with Minnesotans who live and work near the border, too.
Coming up at 9 a.m. Monday, join Angela and Chris for their special, “Our Canada Connections.”
Find out how Canadians are talking about Americans and what they are doing differently. And you’ll hear what some Minnesota business owners are noticing about the Canadian visitors they rely on for nearly a third of their business.
