CUSMA Exit Could Shake Canada's Economy | Calgary News

A new Deloitte Canada report warns that if the U.S. exits CUSMA, Canada’s economy could suffer a severe but not cataclysmic blow—potentially losing $402 billion by 2036 and shrinking GDP by 1.6%. Manufacturing would take the hardest hit, with electronics and machinery seeing steep declines, while oil and gas fare slightly better. But there’s hope: under an “accelerated diversification” scenario, Canada could grow GDP by 0.6% annually, create 53,000 new jobs, and boost agriculture through emerging markets in Asia. The key? Strengthening trade ties, investing in infrastructure, unlocking interprovincial barriers, and focusing on critical minerals to weather any trade storm.
