Today, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce’s (OCC) President and CEO, Daniel Tisch, released the following statement strongly condemning the United States’ imposition of tariffs on Canadian goods, calling the move reckless and harmful to both economies.

“The U.S. president’s reckless, unprovoked trade war against Canada will lower the standard of living for every American and every Canadian – ignoring the will of the American people, the advice of the U.S. business community, and the trade agreement he negotiated and signed.

Unless the U.S. pulls back, it will mean higher prices, lost jobs and investment, and struggling businesses on both sides of the border. It’s not putting America first; it’s more likely to put North America last.

The fastest way out of this madness requires a firm Canadian response coupled with an offer for dialogue. The Ontario Chamber of Commerce has urged our provincial and federal governments to support businesses and protect investment, and to take immediate and long-term steps to enhance Canada’s resilience.

This is a time to prioritize competitiveness over complacency, diversification over dependence, and resilience over resistance to change.

We are encouraged by the unity between business and political leaders. The Ontario Chamber will continue to convene, mobilize and empower businesses and chambers at this critical time, and to work with our government partners to turn talk into action.”

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce remains committed to working with businesses across all sectors and in all communities, as well as with chambers of commerce across the country, to mitigate the economic fallout of these tariffs and ensure Ontario businesses remain globally competitive.

Members - Read the 2025 Ontario Economic Report released

Today, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce released its ninth annual Ontario Economic Report! 📑🗞️

The 2025 OER provides regional and sector-specific insights on business confidence, economic growth, policy priorities, and key issues such as U.S. tariff threats, supply chains, workforce well-being, economic reconciliation, and climate change.

🔍 Among the key findings:

✔️ Business confidence in Ontario’s economy has doubled in the past year, rising from 13 per cent to 26 per cent, but a majority of respondents (48 per cent) lack confidence in the economy.

✔️ High costs remain the top concern for businesses, with 78 per cent citing the cost of living, followed by inflation (62 per cent), housing affordability (57 per cent), and rising operational costs (51 per cent).

✔️ When U.S. tariff threats are on the table, business confidence drops dramatically to just 15 per cent, almost erasing the last year’s gains. With tariffs in play, six in ten (60 per cent) business decision makers would lack confidence in Ontario’s economic outlook.

✔️ Simplifying or reducing business taxes (42 per cent) is the most frequently cited policy solution to improve economic conditions, followed by affordable housing (32 per cent), health system capacity (30 per cent) and workforce development to solve labour shortages (29 per cent).
