Response to US Tariffs

On March 4, 2025 the U.S. government implemented a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods and a 10% tariff on Canadian energy. These trade disrupting measures will create harm on both sides of the border if they remain in place.

Alberta Pork along with the Canadian Pork Council and other provincial pork organizations will continue to monitor the situation, provide input to government, and engage with our U.S. counterparts as much as possible to help resolve this issue.

At these early stages it is important for producers and industry partners to reach out to your contacts (partners, customers, suppliers, friends, and family) in the U.S. to make them fully aware of the potential economic and political damage these trade actions will have.

Before trade and tariffs dominated the conversation, taxation was one of the biggest issues on farmers’ minds last year. From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.

OFA works to represent the interests of Ontario farmers to all levels of government. Renew your Farm Business Registration (FBR) by March 1/26 and choose OFA so we can continue to support Ontario farmers and their businesses.
