Ont. man caught up in tariff war while trying to ship dream car
An Ontario man said ongoing tariff troubles are keeping him from bringing his dream car home. CTV's Karis Mapp reports. An error has occurred during playback. Please try again later. [1000/0] For as long as Cam Gillespie can remember, he's always been a fan of Ford cars, with Shelby Mustangs holding a special place in his heart. 'They only produced about 135 convertibles back in 1970 and Caroll Shelby was a race car driver back in the 50's,' explained the 65-year-old retiree. So when his dream car, a 1969 Shelby Mustang, became available for purchase from an Iowa dealership, Gillespie jumped at the opportunity. 'I never thought I'd find one to be quite honest. That's how rare they are.' Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 A Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is seen in this undated image from Kinion Classics. He said he was aware of Canada's ongoing trade war with the United States, so he contacted the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to inquire about shipping the car to his home in Brantford, Ont. At the time, Gillespie said a CBSA agent told him he wouldn't be impacted because the tariffs don't affect classic cars over 25 years old. It wasn't until after Gillespie purchased the vehicle and began coordinating shipping, that he realized he'd be paying more than he had anticipated. 'I always get TFX International to bring the cars up and TFX, at that time, informed me that there would be a 25 per cent tariff on the automobile,' said Gillespie. CTV News contacted the CBSA and a spokesperson responded with an emailed statement. It read, in part, 'Please note that general information shared over the phone does not constitute an advance ruling of the duties and taxes that will apply to specific imports of goods. Each situation is unique, therefore we do not speculate or comment on individual outcomes.' Cam Gillespie Mustang tariff troubles Brantford, Ont. man Cam Gillespie posed for a photo on Aug. 6, 2025. (Karis Mapp/CTV News) What was expected to be a $106,000 purchase, adding up to over $145,000 with taxes and tariffs included. And Gillespie said the unexpected costs won't stop when the vehicle arrives. 'My insurance is going to be based on $145,000,' Gillespie said. 'I'm going to be paying a fortune in insurance for a vehicle that I'm going to drive maybe 15 minutes in the summertime.' The added cost comes due to Canada's retaliatory tariff that implemented in response to the Trump administration's tariff on automotive imports. For now, the Shelby Mustang is still sitting at the dealership in Iowa, but Gillespie was told they can only hold onto it until the end of August. With time of the essence, Gillespie has attempted to escalate his situation, reaching out to the office of Prime Minister Mark Carney and to Minister of Finance François-Phillipe Champagne. Cam Gillespie letter to Mark Carney Brantford, Ont. man Cam Gillespie wrote a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney as he struggles to ship a classic car to Canada. Brantford's Member of Parliament Larry Brock has even written a letter on Gillespie's behalf. Despite receiving a response from Prime Minister Carney's office, a resolution still hasn't been found. Which means, Gillespie is going to have to pay the tariff price if he wants his dream car. 'This should be changed, this doesn't make sense. It's not right.' Cam Gillespie response from Mark Carney's office Brantford, Ont. man Cam Gillespie received this response after writing a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney's office. The importance of importing The retaliatory tariff is aimed to de-incentivize Canadians from purchasing American-made cars. But for Gillespie and car enthusiasts alike, getting vehicles from the U.S. is their only option. 'In the classic car world, because of their climate and dry states, no salt, no snow, [the U.S. has] got 99.9 per cent of the inventory,' Scott Vickers, President of Summit Ford in Toronto, said. Vicker's company purchases cars on behalf of Canadians who may not be able to attend car auctions south of the border. They also recondition the vehicles. 'It's bad enough we have to deal with 30 per cent on exchange, now you tack on another 25 per cent in tariffs - It just economically doesn't make sense,' said Vickers. 'I've sold numerous classic cars and recently sold one, three times. Every time I sell that car, the government's getting roughly $13,000 to $15,000 in revenue.' The companies transporting the cars across the border are also feeling a financial hit. 'We're probably missing out on about $50,000 to $100,000 every week of potential sales just in transport alone,' said Aaron Horodnyk, the Vice President of TFX International – the company tasked with bringing Gillespie's Mustang to Canada. 'I think what's happened to Cam is absurd. People should be allowed to own and drive what they want to own and drive.'

Transportation minister to meet with Edmonton mayor about ‘problematic' northside bike lanes
Devin Dreeshen, Alberta's transportation minister, says he plans to meet with Edmonton's mayor about "problematic" new bike lanes. While a section of a major northside roadway has already been converted to multi-modal use including bike lanes, the province suggests it could reverse the decision to construct them. Devin Dreeshen, the province's transportation minister, addressed Edmonton's bike lanes on Tuesday with media, suggesting the government could intervene in projects it finds 'problematic.' He's said in the past the province could even remove them. Dreeshan discussed 132 Avenue in particular, where a seven-block stretch of it between 97 and 113A streets has been converted to a two-lane roadway for motor vehicles straddled by two-lane bike paths on either side. The minister met with Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek last week to discuss the issue and plans to meet with Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi next week. 'We've heard tons of petitions and lots of people have been writing in saying that that is a bad four-lane major thoroughfare that's going to be shrunk in half,' Dreeshan told media on Tuesday. 'What some of the councillors are saying in the media, I thought that was pretty (grim), of not listening to those concerns, and to see that project still going ahead is frustrating.' Dreeshan first waded into the northside bike lane debate in April, when he and Karen Principe, the city councillor for the area, jointly shared their concerns about the bike lanes there. At the time, he said the removal of the existing bike lanes is 'on the table.' It's only the start of the project along 132 Avenue. Eventually, the city plans to redevelop the thoroughfare so it has bike lanes for about seven kilometres between Fort Road and 127 Avenue, passing through several school zones. Dino Depner told CTV News Edmonton the east-west artery was once 'like a drag strip' for vehicles 'because it's sort of hidden, and it's a wide road.' The area resident says it's now 'way, way better.' 'People are actually yielding to me around here now,' Depner said while sitting on his bike on one of the 132 Avenue paths near the Grand Trunk recreation centre. 'I'm waving to people instead of ... flipping them off.' Dreeshen insists bike lanes are fine as long as they don't take away travel lanes for cars. 'There are more and more drivers in Edmonton every year, and to reduce the road capacity for those vehicles is the opposite of what we're doing as a provincial government, when we're investing billions of dollars into adding more roads and more lanes,' he said.
