Nova Scotia announced a series of actions in response to the imposition of American tariffs on all Canadian goods entering the U.S. market.
Premier Tim Houston posted on social media Tuesday morning calling President Donald Trump “short-sighted” and that Nova Scotia will immediately limit access to provincial procurement for American businesses.
Houston also said that the province will double tolls at the Cobequid Pass for commercial vehicles from the United States, effective immediately.
In addition, the premier directed the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation to once again remove all U.S.-made alcohol from shelves, effective Tuesday.
We know tariffs are bad for people and businesses on both sides of the border,” Houston wrote on X.
The provincial capital might not be as impacted by the tariffs as other cities across the Maritimes, according to a report.
However, provincially the fishing industry is nervous, due to the “broad-reaching” impacts, Kris Vascotto, executive director of the Nova Scotia Seafood Alliance, previously told CityNews. »
