As the city filed it

At its meeting on March 26, 2025, City Council adopted the Mayor's Economic Action Plan in Response to US Tariffs, which laid out ten (10) immediate actions the City is taking in response to United States (US) tariffs. The cumulative effect of these tariffs, along with multiple subsequent announcements, threatens to upend global supply chains, shut down auto manufacturing plants in Canada and the US, and reduce the productivity of the global economy with some economists raising the increasing likelihood of a recession in the US, Canada and beyond.
