American tariffs are forcing some U.S. companies to move north to Canada

Estella Ren, reporting for the Toronto Star: Canada has surprisingly become a more attractive place to do business than the U.S. for some companies that sell globally, with tariff-free access to major overseas markets and lower operating costs.

Among those looking north is Wildlife Acoustics, a Massachusetts-based company which was honoured with the President’s “E” Award for Exports from the Biden administration in 2024.

The CEO said, “From a business point of view, it’s the right thing to do under the circumstances. It’s what’s best for our customers, employees and our business.”

“… we can build products for almost 30 per cent less than it costs to build them domestically here in the U.S.”
