GTA councillors launch online campaign to fight Trump tariff threat

Ontario councillors Rowena Santos and Chris Leahy have initiated “From City to City,” a campaign uniting municipal leaders in Canada and the U.S. against Trump’s proposed 25% tariff on Canadian imports. The campaign emphasizes economic interdependence, leveraging ads and social media to educate policymakers and communities. Santos and Leahy highlight the devastating local impacts tariffs could have on jobs and industries like automotive and energy. The initiative has seen positive early responses, with calls for collective action resonating across borders.
