MEDIA ADVISORY: Trade wars: Advocates demand urgent action to protect workers and stabilize the economy against the impact of tariffs

TORONTO, March 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The imposition of tariffs will create a widespread recession in Canada.

Workers and communities need all levels of government to work together to deliver a comprehensive strategy to stabilize the economy as it responds to the changed trade environment.

Central to this strategy must be providing workers and small businesses with income support that is adequate, widely accessible, and structured to avoid costly and punitive clawback measures.
