Canadian border mayors strike new alliance ahead of expected Trump tariffs

.

Canadian mayors of cities and town along the Canada-U.S. border are uniting to form a new partnership.

The Border Mayors Alliance is intended to serve as a unified, national voice to "safeguard" communities and bring a municipal perspective to an international discussion.

The move is in response to months of threats from Donald Trump to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all goods imported from Canada into the U.S. Most recently, the president has circled Feb. 1 on the calendar as the day he'll start with the inflated tax.
