Canada’s labour market is ‘static’ after a year of U.S. tariffs, population shift

Manufacturing has lost 51,800 jobs in the past 12 months, while services have only partly offset the damage, economists said.

  • Thursday marks one year since President Donald Trump upended the global trading system with his "Liberation Day" duties, a major step in his tariff campaign that has impacted critical sectors of Canada's labour market.
  • A shrinking labour pool is simultaneously throttling job growth, experts warn, as the tariff campaign continues to disrupt established trade systems affecting Canada and international partners.
  • Brendon Bernard, senior economist at Indeed, described the labour market over the past year as "pretty stable," adding that "maybe even a better word for that is static."
  • Trump threatened to hit Iran hard during his address late Wednesday, aiming to send the country "back to the stone ages," though Iranian officials dismissed the speech as "insane."
  • Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand will join talks Thursday with counterparts from more than 30 nations to find diplomatic options for reopening the critical Strait of Hormuz trade corridor.
