142 years later in the milling of rice and rice flour and the packaging business, dental foods were on a role.
The microwing of the Made Made and the increase in the demand for delicious rice suddenly eliminated the luck of Canada’s only Rice Mill.
The company was already modernizing its factory in Windsor, Ontario, and it was planned to build a new plant across the border in Detroit to meet the demand of US consumers.
Now, everything is gone and the company has a lot of existence.
The serious view of dent Foods reflects a wide range of trade war between Canada and the United States. President Trump’s again, once again tariff measures and Canadian retaliation attacks have caused deep wounds to Canada’s small and medium -sized businesses, which now have to face growing expenses to move back from across the border.
Dean Foods will have to pay 25 % more to import rice from the United States, and if Mr Trump pursues more tariff risks, the United States faces the possibility of paying more costs to export products.
“We are probably staring at a double hit that no company can maintain,” said James Metland, the chief executive of Denti. “When we heard President Trump saying that he was doing this, we have done so so that people are forced to build well in the United States, we are going to do so. But you have made us financially disabled.”
Mr Trump has briefly suspended sending goods to US grocery chain, which is 80 % of its sales, after a 25 % tariff border racing this month, after a 25 % tariff was imposed this month.
Given Mr Trump’s authenticity, Mr Matland said, he has no way to make plans with confidence. If US prices are reproduced for any length, he added, “This company does not become viable.”
Often work with thin profit margins and thin financial cushions, small companies in Canada, such as dentist, which have close to 120 workers, are struggling to withdraw about the revenue between the two countries.
Many people have been targeted by Canada prices, especially on US goods. According to the president of the group, Dan Kelly, the Canadian Federation of Independent is part of the Business, which is part of about 100,000 small and medium -sized companies, which are almost half of HALF imports from the United States, which says only “uncertainty and economic impact of prices”.
The Trump administration is expected to target Canada on April 2 with another tariff period. The president pulled back 25 % tariffs on Canadian goods, but is still imposing a significant number of exports, including steel and aluminum.
Trever Tambi, a business economist at the University of Calgary in Alberta, said that after decades of trade on the open border, small businesses also lack the skills of understanding the complexities of the tariff system.
“Walmart is going to detect this,” he said. “They have people or they can hire people.” Small business, he added, “This is not an option.”
To date, Donat has spent about $ 25,000 Canadian (about $ 17,300) on commercial advisers and lawyers.
But this level of expenses are impossible for John and Liz Chen, a husband and wife team who owns a stationary shop in Toronto, and, like a dent, looks unpleasant by the two governments.
Although Wonder Pence relies mostly on Canadian consumers, Mr Chan said he fears that the Americans who buy online will stop if more taxes are introduced and their goods are increased. Canadian prices also mean that the import of shop from the United States is high prices for envelopes and other items.
Mr Chen said he was also feeling the pain of the Canadian dollar falling price, which has been another death in the trade war, resulting in high prices on some products from abroad.
Mr Chan said about the shop, which was opened 12 years ago and has two full -time and five -time employees, besides himself and his wife, who, about this shop, “We are just trying, paying your bills and keeping your staff in employment.” “This is all uncertain pressure.”
From a large car factory in Windsor, there is an angry marked store front exactly below the road, which has been converted into a cinemographer, Ron Sim optical design and test center. It mainly focuses on making kits that replace the On -Vintage Steel Camera lens used on digital motion picture cameras.
Mr Sim relys twice as a result of Mr Trump’s fondness.
When Mr Trump imposed taxes on China during his first administration, Mr Sim moved the production to Thailand.
Then, before last year’s presidential election, Mr Sim said he thought to herself: “This is even worse.” Therefore, to try sales sales to the United States, the source of three -quarters of its business, it brought its manufacturing near home and opened a small factory in a farm town, a hero, south of Windsor.
Now, it seems, the move cannot escape US prices.
“I never thought he would do it with Canada,” Mr Sim said 25 % of the revenue was briefly available. “So he removed me from the guard, especially after spending millions of machinery and bringing manufacturing in Windsor.”
It is unclear whether its users in the United States – including a huge photography vendor in New York, rent and optical houses of multiple motion picture devices, as well as online buyers – will react to whatever tax returns on April 2. Mr Sim said. Vintage lens exchanges compete in China’s rapid cost and high quality new lenses.
Mr Sim said, “I feel like I’m walking on this Tetop.” “Now, I’m standing right now, keeping my balance and seeing that as long as I’m going on everything.”
Throughout the city, the microwave packet operation in dental foods, which replaced an elderly line that made canned rice, has been placed in a renovating, shining place. But it is also half empty.
The workers there manually removed the box -up, which includes the names of US retailers, including Aldi, Walmart and Hole Foods. As part of expansion and modernization, Din had purchased robots and they were going to include another production line.
But Mr Matland said that the company is not sure if it will move forward with its plans, provided there is no explanation of what will happen to the current taxes or new things.
The mill has asked the Canadian government to exempt its rice imports from revenue, but has not been answered. The Canadian Treasury Department, which determines the revenue, did not respond to a comment.
Mr Matland said, “No one has a crystal ball.” No one knows that it’s going to happen in a few weeks, no one knows that it is a few months or it is a new life. There is no clear way. “
