Canadian snowbirds in Arizona concerned about tariffs [Video]

YUMA, AZ (AZFamily) — Canadian tourists and snowbirds in Arizona are a vital part of the state’s tourism industry.

They contribute billions to Arizona’s economy, but they’re expressing frustration over the 25% tariffs proposed by the Trump administration.

With looming tariffs, many Canadians are concerned about the potential hit to their wallets. Some fear these tariff talks could permanently damage the relationship between Canada and the U.S.

Canadian snowbird Miles Attewell has been spending his winters in Yuma for over a decade. He said he’s disappointed with the threat of tariffs.

“It feels like we’ve been betrayed by a close friend, and it’s uncomfortable,” he said.

Attewell thinks a 25% tariff on imported goods would be devastating for all.

“Products that we normally buy may not be available or they may increase in price,” he said.

Other Canadians like Normand Duquette, agree.

“There can’t be any winners, everybody will lose,” said Duquette.
