'Very difficult': Calgary jewelry maker set to lose customers amid trade war

The tariffs are expected to cut her U.S. customer base in half, and she has already suspended sales south of the border.

  • Calgary jewelry maker Cindy Baldassi expects to lose about half of her customers due to new 50% American tariffs on Canadian exports, including jewelry, following failed trade talks between Canada and the U.S..
  • Trade talks ended when Canadian Trade Minister Carney canceled negotiations citing a bad deal from the U.S., and Canada announced it will impose matching tariffs starting next month, escalating the trade conflict.
  • Canadian premiers have shown strong support for Carney's decision, urged citizens to buy local, and expressed disappointment at the collapse of trade talks.
  • The trade war is expected to impact nearly 100,000 Canadian jobs, with businesses like Baldassi adjusting prices and suspending U.S. sales as leaders warn of widespread economic hardship.
