New study details heavy toll of Trump tariffs on Ontario's auto sector
"Right now, businesses are just focused on keeping the doors open" A stockpile of Ford F150 Lightning EV models are shown at the Ford Essex Engine Plant in Windsor on Monday, May 5, 2025. Photo by Dan Janisse / Postmedia Network A study by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) reports the Canada-U.S. trade dispute has resulted in 49 per cent of businesses in Ontario's automotive sector postponing or cancelling new investments while delivering a double-digit decline in sales.

Create Account Since U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff campaign began in February, Ontario's small- and medium-size auto firms have scuttled potential investment worth $2.9 billion over the next year. 'Uncertainty, market volatility and increased costs are forcing auto business owners to make difficult decisions to keep their doors open,' said Joseph Falzata, the report's co-author and CFIB's policy analyst for Ontario. 'The desire to grow is there, but with such massive revenue losses, businesses are more focused on keeping their doors open than expanding their operations.' The impact of those lost investments will have a ripple effect across Ontario's economy. Falzata said June was the first month since March that those surveyed weren't going to lay off more people than they hired. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. June was a net-zero month for hiring with 15 per cent of firms saying they expected to lay off employees in the next three to four months, matching the percentage intending to hire. The remaining 70 per cent forecast no employment level changes. 'It's a huge impact,' Falzata said. 'Ontario needs big employers like Stellantis, Ford, GM . . . but those companies also need these smaller suppliers to make their products. Those businesses also support the existence of other non-automotive businesses in cities like Windsor.' The potential threat is also severe in London, where in 2023 more than 700 businesses export ed about $ 7.8 billion worth of goods to the United States, mostly in automotive and manufacturing but also in food and agriculture, Statistics Canada figures show. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The survey was sent to 500 members of the CFIB and focused on the 187 businesses with fewer than 500 people that were operating in the automotive sector in Canada. It found that 65 per cent of those businesses were negatively impacted by the tariffs. The average loss of sales to date has been 13 per cent. 'Business confidence is at low levels right now in Canada,' Falzata said. 'The last few months it's an all-time low – lower than during the pandemic, the 2008 financial crisis and even 9/11.' Falzata added 34 per cent of exporters reported experiencing border delays since the tariff war started. The uncertainty has resulted in the triple threat of a pause in investment, a decline in demand and higher prices for imports. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Fifty-five percent of (of all types of) businesses report there's insufficient demand for growth in Ontario,' said Falzata, who noted the paperwork involved in getting products certified as compliant with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement trade pact adds another layer of costs. 'Right now, businesses are just focused on keeping the doors open. They're trying to re-navigate their supply chains to Canadian suppliers or other countries than the U.S.,' Falzata said. 'It's expensive to do that. Businesses said they plan to pass on most if not all those additional costs to consumers.' Falzata said the CFIB feels government support and some changes to the small business income tax rate are required to help the sector navigate through this period. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. However, the $85 million in funding allocated to the Ontario Automotive Modernization Program (O-AMP) and the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN) along with the $50 million set aside for the Ontario Together Trade Fund (OTTF) are expected to be used by only one to two per cent of small auto business owners. Falzata said requirements of businesses to match government grants or invest up to $200,000 to be eligible for the programs is beyond the reach of most small businesses in the current climate. Being able to demonstrate a 30 per cent loss in revenue is another eligibility hurdle. 'If you've lost 30 per cent of your revenue, you're focused on fighting to keep the doors open and not likely to have $200,000 lying around,' Falzata said. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Our membership would prefer to see the small business income tax reduced from 3.2 per cent, the highest rate in Canada, to two per cent. Perhaps reducing the revenue decrease to 10 per cent to be eligible would help.' Falzata said the CFIB also recommends raising the threshold for the lower small business tax rate from the first $500,000 earned to $700,000. 'While these programs were created with good intentions, the reality is they miss the mark for small business.' The organization also recommends the federal government speed up its distribution of tariff money collected on U.S. goods to lessen the effect of the damaging trade war.

If You Buy Amazon With $10,000 in 2025, Will You Become a Millionaire in 10 Years?
Key Points Amazon's stock has been a monster winner since the company's IPO in 1997. The business benefits from multiple growth drivers, it has a wide moat, and earnings have soared in recent years. Shares trade at a reasonable valuation, but forward returns won't resemble the past. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › It would take some time to find a business that has done a better job making its investors rich than Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has. Since the company's initial public offering in 1997, shares have skyrocketed 230,000% (as of July 14). There is no doubt that a large group of investors have become millionaires from owning Amazon over the years. The business is a clear leader in various categories, and its market cap of $2.4 trillion indicates just how dominant Amazon has become. But maybe there is still some opportunity here. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » If you invest $10,000 in this top technology stock in 2025, will you become a millionaire in 10 years? Here's what investors need to know about Amazon's merits as we look toward the next decade. No shortage of reasons why Amazon is an outstanding company Amazon is one of the world's great businesses, with multiple growth drivers. Not only is it a leader in online shopping, Amazon is also a budding digital ad provider. Additionally, it makes money from cloud computing with Amazon Web Services (AWS), an already sizable market player that has potential for huge expansion. Amazon has developed a wide economic moat. Its online marketplace benefits from a powerful network effect, with merchants and buyers finding more value as the platform gets bigger. Thanks to significant investments to bolster the logistics network, there are cost advantages at play. AWS has the same benefit, due to large upfront fixed costs to build out the necessary infrastructure to serve customers. AWS customers also face switching costs. As these clients onboard and integrate their own operations with the cloud platform, it becomes difficult to leave. And with so much data being collected throughout the business, Amazon can leverage this intangible asset to direct strategic moves or product enhancements. Amazon's growth tailwinds, as well as its economic moat, are obvious reasons why this is a great business. Investors aren't losing sleep at night when thinking about the chances that Amazon will get disrupted anytime soon. This is a dominant enterprise that isn't going away. Another reason to appreciate this company is that it's getting stronger from a financial perspective. Historically, Amazon was focused mainly on growing revenue as quickly as possible. Because it was constantly reinvesting massive sums into the business, profits were low on paper. We're seeing this change lately, though. CEO Andy Jassy has made it a priority to create a more efficient organization, controlling expenses along the way. Amazon is projected to generate $77.7 billion in operating income this year, according to Wall Street consensus analyst estimates. This would represent a more than 100% gain compared to 2023. Amazon has made investors rich in the past, but the future won't be the same Just in the past 10 years, Amazon's stock price has climbed an impressive 891%. Look back even further, and the numbers are even more jaw-dropping. But with its current scale, it's hard to believe these gains will repeat going forward. Trees don't grow to the sky, as they say. This means that investors shouldn't expect Amazon to turn a $10,000 investment today into a cool $1 million by the summer of 2035. This seven-figure target implies a monster 100-fold gain, or 58.5% annualized, over the next decade. That's not a sensible view to have for any financial asset. This doesn't mean that Amazon isn't worthy of investment consideration right now. Shares trade at a price-to-earnings ratio of 36.7, which I think isn't unreasonable given all the positive attributes already mentioned. The stock has a good shot at outperforming the broader market over the next 10 years. Should you invest $1,000 in Amazon right now? Before you buy stock in Amazon, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Amazon wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years. Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $652,133!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $1,056,790!* Now, it's worth noting Stock Advisor's total average return is 1,048% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 180% for the S&P 500.
