Fall Brings Economic Challenges and Winter Preparation for Canadians
As fall sets in across Canada, residents are not only embracing the season's changes like pumpkin spice and warm clothes but also facing challenges such as soaring living costs and trade tariffs. Meanwhile, gardeners are preparing for winter, and farmers are battling drought conditions.
A recent study reveals Atlantic Canadians are grappling with a rising cost of living. Many are planning significant cutbacks on holiday spending. In the U.S., President Trump has announced a new 25% tariff on heavy trucks, set to be implemented in the coming weeks. This follows a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Carney, during which they agreed to work quickly on tariff deals. The ongoing trade war has already led to an 85% decrease in Canada's imports of U.S. alcohol.
In the Maritimes, farmers are struggling with a heavy drought, impacting their livelihoods. Gardeners and residents in Regina, however, are getting ready for winter. A local garden centre will soon share tips on preparing gardens for the cold season, as reported in local media.
While Canadians enjoy the fall weather and prepare for winter, they also face economic challenges due to the trade war and rising living costs. Farmers in the Maritimes need urgent support to cope with the drought. Despite these hurdles, residents are finding ways to adapt and plan for the future.
