But could these measures do more harm than good?“Retaliatory tariffs are just a bad decision. They increase the prices that Canadian importers pay to bring goods into the country, and increase prices for consumers” says <a href="/desautels/vivek-astvansh"><strong>Vivek Astvansh</strong></a>, an Associate Professor of Quantitative Marketing and Analytics at 9I��������� Desautels.</p> Wed, 12 Mar 2025 16:34:54 +0000 admin 141655 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/common-household-goods-could-be-among-those-most-affected-us-tariffs-364187 <p>With the spectre of sweeping tariffs sending ripples through Canada’s economy, the prices of some goods will be much more affected than others. Cheaper household goods like shampoo and toiletries could be among those most affected, according to <a href="/desautels/saibal-ray"><strong>Saibal Ray</strong></a>, a Professor of Operations Management at 9I��������� Desautels. Higher end goods will be less affected, Ray told the Toronto Star, as most of these goods are sourced outside of the United States.</p> Wed, 12 Mar 2025 16:36:38 +0000 admin 141654 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/tarifflation-already-driving-consumer-electronics-prices-364188 <p>Tariffs impose costs on businesses who import goods, and when businessese pass those costs along to consumers, prices go up. This phenomenon is colloquially known as tarifflation, and in this tariff-happy economic moment, we are already seeing its effects. Acer—a Taiwanese electronics company—recently raised its prices, and attributed the price increases to tariffs.</p> Wed, 12 Mar 2025 16:39:38 +0000 admin 141653 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/government-quebecs-ability-support-those-affected-tariffs-limited-its-financial-position-364184 <p>The Government of Quebec is promising to help businesses affected by US tariffs, but how much can it really do? Quebec does have funds set aside for emergencies like this one, according to <a href="/desautels/preetika-joshi"><strong>Preetika Joshi</strong></a>, an assistant professor of accounting at 9I��������� Desautels.
