Saint John most vulnerable city to U.S. tariffs: report

A New Brunswick city is the most vulnerable in Canada if the U.S. implements across-the-board tariffs.

That is according to a new analysis recently completed by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.

Saint John is home to the Irving Oil refinery, the largest in Canada, with more than 80 per cent of its product exported to the United States.

Officials also noted that seafood and forestry products are New Brunswick’s other top U.S. exports, many of which go to Maine.

Calgary is number two on the list, followed by several communities in southwestern Ontario.

The chamber noted that Alberta, Ontario and New Brunswick are particularly vulnerable to tariffs as most of their exports go to the United States.

Back here in New Brunswick, Fredericton is number 18 on the list while Moncton sits in the 30th spot.
