Canadian Manufacturers Blame Ottawa, Not Trump’s Tariffs, for Economic Woes

A coalition of Canadian manufacturers has launched a billboard campaign across the country blaming Ottawa for the nation’s economic struggles, arguing the federal government poses a greater threat to the economy than trade tensions with Washington.

The Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses Canada erected billboards declaring “Ottawa is more detrimental to Canadians than Washington DC,” directly challenging Prime Minister Mark Carney’s focus on US tariffs as the primary source of Canada’s economic woes.

“These problems existed long before Trump was in office,” CCMBC President Catherine Swift said Tuesday. “Instead, he should be taking responsibility for the bad Liberal policies which have weakened our economy over the last decade.”

The campaign emerges amid mounting economic pressures in Canada, including a projected federal deficit of $68.5 billion and slowing GDP growth. The Carney government has emphasized US tariff threats as a key challenge facing the Canadian economy.

Swift took aim at Ontario Premier Doug Ford as well, noting that the province continues to lose businesses despite his administration’s attention to trade disputes. “Ford’s government has not stopped that exodus,” she said.

The coalition calls on Canadians to demand accountability from their elected officials rather than accept blame directed at foreign powers. “Our politicians should be looking in the mirror, not blaming others,” Swift said.

The CCMBC began operations in 2016 and represents manufacturers and small to medium-sized businesses across Canada.
