The year before, negotiations averaged just seven months. “Canada is still dealing with the lingering effects of the pandemic, including a return to normal inflation,” Professor John-Paul Ferguson tells The Globe and Mail. “That has been complicating a lot of negotiations because unions are demanding higher wage increases.”

There is no clear answer, and it is not yet known how much tariffs could affect prices, but according to Professor Saibal Ray, the way people think about tariffs could be as important as the tariffs themselves. “Rather than buying a microwave today, they push out the purchase or bring it forward,” he tells Global News.
