Editor,

U.S. tariffs significantly affect American citizens in Canada, particularly in border communities across the country.

These tariffs disrupt supply chains, increasing costs for U.S. goods that expatriates rely on and impacting jobs in cross-border industries. Unlike other expatriates, Americans face double taxation, paying both U.S. and Canadian taxes, which adds financial strain.

In Canadian border communities, inflated prices and economic uncertainty hit hard. Your readers, familiar with cross-border trade, can drive a conversation about fairness and reform for Americans living in Canada.
