Unifor national president Lana Payne says U.S. President Donald Trump has seriously misjudged the resolve and unity of Canadians, and he has misjudged how damaging this trade war will be for American workers.
The head of the union, which represents 320,000 workers, says the tariffs will hurt working people with higher prices for everyday goods, destroy jobs on both sides of the border.
Unifor is calling on all levels of government and industry to step up and co-ordinate a response to the continued tariff threats on targeted Canadian industries.
Payne says Canada’s trade relationship has forever changed with the U.S.

A survey by KPMG finds two-thirds of Canadian business leaders polled say they can weather a trade war that lasts more than a year.
The report also says that 86 per cent support retaliatory tariffs against the United States.
Timothy Prince, the Canadian managing partner for clients and markets at KPMG in Canada, says the business community remains unwavering in its commitment to stand up for Canada.
The report is based on a survey completed last week of 602 business leaders from primarily mid-sized and large companies across Canada and industry sectors.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 4, 2025.
