The residents of the Quebec border respond to the upcoming trade war – Wcax

Sutton, Quebec (WCAX) – President Donald Trump late on Monday agreed to a 30 -day pause on his tariff threats against Canada. However, the coming opportunity for tariffs has many residents of Quebec on the edge.

In Sutton Ski City, Quebec – only miles from Vermont’s border – there were concerns and powerlessness from locals about the prospects of a trade war.

“We feel surrendered as Canadians because we are partners in business and I think it’s completely unfair,” said Claude Presto of Saint Bruno-De-Montarville.

“I think it’s obviously … It’s a situation without a profit for anyone, because it will hurt our economy, and the countries,” said Michael Hines of Sutton. “I think our answer is directed, it is probably a good idea, but you can really get out of use and you know that we are probably a few quarters of a recession here in Canada. It’s like, yes, that’s bad news. “

Despite the tariff threats, the locals we talked to say the president’s actions do not cling to their relations with the Americans. “It is completely about Trump. I have nothing about the US people. I love this country. We are good neighbors. This applies entirely to Trump and his administration. That’s all, ”said Rest.

“I do not have to understand why they voted for him, but I do not resent them. I mean he was elected presidential candidate. I do not resent them, “said Alexandrea Kelly of Sutton.

Along with the serious concern about the recession and the mass impact on consumers for consumers here in Canada, everyone we talked to also expressed concern about the global economy and its stability.
